Made two last #Jamuary things where I improvised some piano and then tried to overlay with orchestral elements.

Episode One: Granville has sadly passed away, and his son has recreated him and Arkwright via A.I. to run the shop. All the onions are now wrong.

Apparently they have one up the road from me. Had to google if the shop was still going as others down here have all gone bust. I might wander up there later and see what the lids are like.

Way out of my budget right now to be honest, even with 2/3rd off. Seatpost is cool for sharing.

I agree few will be. Music is easy to get into now. Even free tools like LMMS are out there. We've a lot of people doing it compared to even the 80s.

No way this is road legal?
Found a local bike shop selling them off. Lists no specs on motor size, throttle, assist cut out..
..I can only find US YTers reviewing them.

Hi! Just popping in here briefly to tell that I was a much happier person before I learned that Mikey Shulman exists. It's almost unbelievable to see such an empty, untalented, utterly uncharismatic manchild do his darnedest (and so far succeeding in) obliterating music. Please go away. Forever. Thx

Not to be relentlessly negative, but let’s enjoy ourselves a bit.
Who is the Dumbest Guy That Has A Reputation For Being Smart?
Musk seems the clear winner, so let’s say: who else might be in the Top 10?
I’ll start the proceedings with Ezra Klein, the Abundance boy. Not impressive!

I'll take a change of shirt and usually keep the same trousers/shorts I work in to ride in. I think they wanted to use it as storage for IT as they made all kinds of spurious allegations at staff (not just us but stores etc too)

A couple of workmates ride to work. Typically only a mile or two - I'm the furthest out of all the staff. 7 miles to work for me if I do it. Used to have colleagues ask me all the time because of the lycra. I dont useit much now after they took our changing rooms away.

I made this from guitar and bass samples to try and emulate my own preference for those sounds. Its a minimalistic take, think Terry C Riley rather than some pop effort.

I think it was his first album I liked. One of his tunes was in a movie about aliens or something. Think thats how I got into it. Heavy in to the FM sounds at the time so it fit my tastes.
Sad that people wont use their old skills to make new music. Fuck AI.
