One day I'll figure out how to write a decent bio...
My cat remains internet famous
LEAD VOCALS DONE!

Ginge did his thing in Cardiff last night and Lithium Kicks’ official band mascot, Bayley, approved.

All together now… “WHOOOOOOA!!!”

My cat is becoming my bands official mascot... Slowly
HERE’S JONNY (with Bayley the cat). The former Spilt Dogs bass behemoth joins the ranks and has been recording some four-string action all day on location in Cardiff. Make him feel welcome.

The last few @dropkickmurphys.com albums haven't really grabbed me. Their recent offering was winning me over, then @billybragg.bsky.social showed up and I'm 100% in on this!

What a fucking tune!

First time in London in almost 2 months. Still feels like I'm here too often and I still get annoyed by tourists who don't understand the tube.

Halloween is almost over... Which means I can technically start my annual "does this count as a Christmas movie?" Marathon!

Good Fortune is one of those movies that is going to get brutally lost in the shuffle. It feels like it should be a comedy, but it's a necessary social commentary that needs to exist. The subjects covered are important, even if they are wrapped up in a fairly average movie.

Prime Sunday listening. But I'm always left wondering...I get the tom-ay-tow / tom-ah-tow thing...but who the fuck says "po-tah-tow"?

I'm about to try and buy a USB C memory stick from a physical shop in 2025....this may not go well.

Today I found out that there is 652 days until the new Simpsons movie comes out. There are also 792 episodes total at present.

This could be a monumental challenge or just a useless fact.

One of my growing pet hates is seeing that messages have been read when you need a response.

You know that point where you are watching a band for the 4th time (in a 20 year period) giving them one last go to see what all the fuss is about and something else is wrong with the gig....I'm living that right now. If I couldn't see the sound man, I'd presume he was asleep.

I work as a dev, with loads of design and UX experience as a fall back. I really hate it when platforms make the way you prefer to access their service awful. Just tried to login to a service, captcha check and 7(!) image verification screens just to access the homepage.

First time exploring lightroom. It seems very angry unless you are using it with Adobe cloud storage. Which is weirdly convenient. Funny they only give you 2gb of space as well...it's like they've rigged the usability to be awful unless you pay them even more money...

We are on the road to Summerslam, so I watched Summerslam 88 and reviewed it just for you!

Before we start, I am fully aware that I have suggested that there is already too much wrestling to watch….HOWEVER! I also thought it might be fun to dig back into the archive for something differe…

There are so many points in our history where we respectfully stop talking about something we love because of "complications". For me, one of them is ECW

Has ECW’s Legacy Been Lost To History?
There is a cross section of wrestling fans who are mourning the loss of the ECW icon Sabu. The suicidal, homicidal, genocidal, death–defying maniac was a key figure in the growth and identity of EC…

I wrote this to try and question whether you can measure success in wrestling by the numbers...using Gillberg as a reference.

Measuring Title Success… With Gilberg
I love stats and data. You know the “by the numbers” part of the Royal Rumble build up? I LOVE THAT! Shortest time in the ring, most eliminations, most appearances etc. I’m all about that. There is…

I saw a teenager today. He was so specially dressed as Marty McFly in Back to the Future, I had to resist the urge to say to him, "Hey kid, What's with the life preserver?" No idea if he'd have got the joke, so didn't say it.

Can someone start a petition to get Travis Scott out of wrestling?

Just saw a guy in Tesco extra with an actual trolley full to the brim of potatoes. I glanced at them, then glanced at him, we shared a chuckle and carried on. Walked past him again two minutes later, he covered his faces and laughed as he said, "Don't look at me!"
