Environment Agency report first 7 months of 2025 were driest since 1976 & England reservoirs only 56.1% full on average.

I often get asked about how I write and produce drums (again yesterday), which is odd to me as I generally regard drums as my weaker ability. I have considered doing a wee video on it, but people would be bitterly disappointed with how unsophisticated and disjointed my approach is.

There's an awful lot of Trump voting farmers in the US right now asking for government subsidies. Its amazing how people become very socialist when it comes to freeing themselves from the tyranny of laissez-faire capitalism.

The 90s revival feels weird. I keep hearing kids listening to the same really awful dance music I was subject to in mates' cars in the early 00s. Not a new version of it. Literally the same songs. At least do your own thing eh?
