SAHB did a whole free tour IIRC. They certainly did a freebie at Chelsea Village in Bournemouth. I saw that and thought they were pretty good. Saw them a couple of times later and they didn’t match that first […]

Lydon on Readly Mojo this morning.

I just checked my Readly account and Small Faces still here too.

All fine here on iPhone and iPad.

He wrote one even Robbie Williams couldn’t ruin.

I have pair of Shokz bone conductors that I bought for cycling. Like the idea of being able to hear ambient noise as well as music. They do work really well for that but bass is very much absent however. I […]

Way too long and way too much angst.

1. Stereolab – Instant Holograms On Metal Film 2. CMAT – EURO-COUNTRY 3. The Delines – Mr. Luck & Ms. Doom 4. Geese – Getting Killed 5. Lonnie Holley: Tonky 6. Manic Street Preachers – Critical Thinking 7. […]

Tidal don’t do a “listening age”, but if they did I think I’d be getting a telegram from the King. 1 Wilco 2 Steve Earle 3 Bruce Springsteen 4 Joni Mitchell 5 Neil Young

Get Back – Beatles. There’s a day gone, right there. I Am Trying To Break Your Heart -Wilco Dig – BJM & Dandy Wahols Some Kind Of Monster – Metallica. No fan of their music, but good film. When Bruce […]

As I mentioned in another thread, it is possible to run the latest macOS on some old machines. I’ve got Sequoia running on a 2015 iMac using I like mac minis these days though. My main M2 mini does everything I […]

“Nonce” rightly or wrongly, already has stuck.

None of the above.

If you are willing to remain on apple, you might consider using https://opencorelegacypatcher.net/ to update your old mini to a later, probably the latest, operating system. It will then accept latest Spotify […]

First listen – Liked it a lot. Hints of Television.

There’s only one locker in range really and it’s at a petrol station. It is not that convenient but is my best option so that is where I now go. Hopefully there will be more soon. There is one around the corner […]

Evri deliveries are pretty good for me, but dropping them off is not so great. Presumably due to Evri not making it worth their while most of the drop off points have stopped dealing with them. Those that are […]

From memory, you have to remove the case lid (4 screws), unclip the drawer front panel, pull out one or two ribbon connectors, unscrew the transport, pull the laser power plug and remove the laser (can’t […]

My CD6006 was a bit picky about what it played right from new and I should have taken it straight back Richers but I didn’t. Eventually it became so truculent that I put a new laser in it. £25ish on ebay and […]
