Pro-science. Anti-bullshit. Pro-equality. Anti-fascism. Lefty weirdo. Likes all sorts of music that you hate. Humanist. Amateur mixologist. Had hair once. Not American (so please don't assume my comments are about US stuff).
Absolute bollocks. Nicky Hopkins recorded with both for a start, and I'm sure there are more. Terrible "journalism".

The artist who recorded with The Beatles and The Rolling Stones
The Beatles and The Rolling Stones were two of the biggest rock bands of all time, but one pioneering musician performed and recorded with both artists.

Spot the difference. 2025 vs. 1933.

Clue - there isn't one. What happens next will define our lives.

Anyone want to buy me a ticket to this (including transport and accommodation, of course)?

More dates to be announced soon, apparently.

In response to Trump's renaming of the gulf, henceforth I will be referring to the nation South of Canada as The United States of North Mexico.

Just made an enquiry about buying an old yacht (fully kitted out and seaworthy, with serviced mooring).

Just for lake cruising, none of that racing or ocean stuff (aside from maybe occasional harbour hopping).

That's a first.

Mid-life crisis? Nope. It was actually my wife's (via a friend) idea!

Hi, I’m God.

It’s January 6th Eve, so don’t forget to leave out crackers and crystal meth for Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Contemplating 2025 releases and sadly thought there's not going to be a Motörhead 40th anniversary release this year, but then I remembered this obscure thing.

Can whoever is in charge at @motorhead-official.bsky.social please make a deluxe 40th anniversary "The Birthday Party" happen? Thanks. ♠️

Someone gave this dipshit a book contract. Some other editor dipshit said “sure, print it.”

Finally listened to the last Bad Seeds album.

Bloody hell, what a dull record.

Where's the vitriol and intensity, Nick? I know you still have it in the live arena.

Next!

Happy Lemmymas, everybody! As every year since he passed, Motörhead celebrate his birthday with a "surprise" archive release. This one from 1992. Really looking forward to getting it in my ears.

RTD "...there's a planet in the far future that's absolutely terrifying, there's a trip to Miami..."

I'm assuming he's describing one and the same thing - a very fitting description of Florida.

Setting up for a gig tonight at The Grand Hotel, Underground 8-11pm. I thought it was a private event, but apparently anyone can come. See you there, maybe?

Loving this story. You're never too old, remote, or disenfranchised to release an award-winning debut album. ❤️🖤💛

Been listening to Colosseum this week and wondering why David "Clem" Clempson rarely appears on lists of the great guitarists. To my ear he holds up as well as some of the big names often repeated.

Back in my old world today. Logged into Atlassian and Zephyr test suite ready to go. If only the tech team had the test environment ready for me.

Thumb-twiddling commencing.

My daughter is clever! Finally succumbed to the household COVID and has tested positive for Influenza B *simultaneously*!

Finally watched the Oils documentary while laid up in bed. Pretty good, but not quite great.

Great music documentaries dig into the dirt. This one made every event - no matter how dark - positive, which dulled the knife somewhat.
