Lovely stuff, I’m listening to it while I work and it’s make it even harder than usual to focus on that work stuff. I’d go for a Bandcamp download.

Mine was degrees of uncomfortableness rather than actual pain. Some spots were a bit more noticeable, but I don’t remember exclaiming “ow you phucker, that hurt!” Feet are the most painful apparently.

Just got my first one at the ripe old age of 54. Not so much mid life crisis as mid life why the hell not.

We started watching various tattoo shows a few years ago and became fascinated by the art work and […]

Yup, I bought a Necks t-shirt when I saw them. Blimey, that was one of the last gigs I went to over a year ago.

Newly purchased Monk from Redbubble. I ordered a slim fit by mistake so his head looks a bit bulbous when I put it on.

Kamasi Washington had t-shirts last time I saw him, but as fine a looking chap as he is, it […]

must just be me then. Where did you get the code? I got a ‘thanks for signing up’ email but that was all.

Looks like the window to get the code closed on 28 Feb.

Steven Wilson had to cut six songs from his set at his last Sydney gig because he rattled on too much at the pre-show meet n greet, then gabbled on throughout the gig until someone told him there was an 11pm […]

Great review Ainsley. HCE is peak Wilson for me too, love it from start to finish, closely followed by Raven. Despite the grumbling from the die-hard prog/Porcupine Tree community I really like To The Bone as […]

When I lived in London it was The Seashell in Lisson Grove. Was nowhere near as posh then as it looks now.

In Sydney, it’s probably sitting on the Wharf at Watson’s Bay eating F&S from Doyles. The takeaway, […]

Thanks for the photo. I have a Japanese import AYPGTKC which sadly only include the photos.

Just Read:
John Cooper Clarke – I Wanna Be Yours. Hard not to read this in the signature JCC brogue. A great read. A lot of the book’s about his addictions, but he doesn’t play the tragic woe-is-me card, it’s […]

I should probably go and see it, although DB’s last few albums haven’t really grabbed me. Watching clips on youtube I kept thinking it looked a bit like synchronised swimming.

I’m sure there’s more, but this’ll do

Kompromat – I Like Trains  
Lunatic Soul – Through Shaded Woods
All India Radio – The Shining Cosmos
Bill Frisell – Valentine

I haven’t partaken since I was a teenager, but it seems to me that genetics and personality determine how it affects you. I know two people who are addicted (I don’t agree with anyone who says it’s not […]

If I get 6 hours it’s a good night. If I get 6 hours uninterrupted it’s a minor miracle. About once or twice a year I’ll get 8-9 hours and it feels like I’ve woken up 100 years in the future. Fall asleep okay, […]

I have hereditary high cholesterol as well, and every time I tell someone they tell me I need to eat less fat. Er, that’s not how it works I’m afraid. Diagnosed about 25 years ago, they immediately put me on the […]

Dad was strictly classical, Opera and symphonies. Mum was more easy listening. She went to see Julio Inglesias and walked out because it was so boring. A week later she was Neil Diamond and had a fantastic […]

Monty Python’s Argument sketch keeps popping into my head.

M: An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.

O: No it isn’t!
