Now you can post video's on this thing I thought I'd post a clip of me & my twin brother playing a complicated two part guitar piece I wrote a few years ago.
I always include a few mistakes & shoddy musicianship in my recordings, just so that people can tell it's not AI generated.

Just spent £225 upgrading to Cubase Pro because there's just one small feature I want to finish my new album.
No problem, I just need to sell an additional 32 copies on Bandcamp to recoup the cost 👍

"Sweet & nutty"? It's cheese! It's not supposed to be sweet OR nutty! Why do they insist on putting stupid adjectives on food nowadays? I don't want my cheese to be nutty any more than I want my nuts to be cheesy!!!

If AI existed in 1966 and you asked it to make a new Beatles album, it would probably make a sort of amalgamation of the previous Beatles albums. It definitely wouldn't have made 'Revolver'.

I was disappointed they didn't release any more David Bowie compilations following on from "The Best of David Bowie 1980/1987" so I made my own (including lots of non-album singles & B-sides) and also, using my super-duper Photoshopping skills, made a nice cover for it.

When we eventually make computers smarter than we are it will be the first time in history that humans aren't the #1 intelligent thing on the planet.
Then, due to our over-reliance on AI, we'll gradually drop down the league table until we're somewhere between chimpanzees and squirrels.

I've recently been watching "Live Aid" & old Doctor Who's on the BBC iplayer, and the two preview pictures could easily be interchangeable.

My wish for 2026 is that the world becomes a more stable place, and Donald Trump in particular doesn't do anything too...
oh bugger.

I'm just streaming music while working, so only half listening, and I followed Weird Al Yankovic with Motley Crue, and keep expecting Motley Crue to sing something funny.

Christmas is the only time I ever get to sit down and watch live TV and I have to say, I don't really like it.

My Xmas day highlight was winning both rounds of Scattergories. My best answer was for "people who wear a uniform" beginning with K. Can anyone else get a treble score for that?

I'll not have much work over Xmas so thought I'd have plenty time to record the guitar part for the 1st movement of my Electric Guitar Concerto (out some time next year). But after 20 times trying to get the opening riff right I've managed to open up a small cut in my primary string bending finger 😫
