I apologise, it is another long one. But it has lots of nice typefaces, a few puns, and even a tiny little Led Zeppelin reference.

Another play through video!
This time it’s a proper full length song, “Kalahari” off of my 2024 album Love and Painkillers.
There’s a bit of waffle about it after the song too.
Enjoy!

Today is the day that Satan is skating to work.
Ibanez 540PIII reissue. MIJ, 24fr, H/S. Perfect except for one crucial detail…
43mm neck width at the nut. The original (I have one from 1989) was 45mm. The ultra wide neck was one of the USPs.
Still awesome though.

New web toy I've been mucking about with in my downtime.

Inspired by the Apple album art screensaver initially. I wondered if I could get the same 3D flipping effect in a browser, and the answer was of course yes. 😀

Dear #Lazyweb
I sometimes write things. Sometimes they are long, sometimes people enjoy them. I would like to do this more, and perhaps submit things to an occasional publication or two. I wondered how to go about this, so I spoke to a journalist friend.

This is my favourite bit of the song: The major to minor key change, the cascading harmonics, it feels like making trails with sparklers in the dark
Check You're Still Breathing, recorded with the PowerTap Earth Pro from Fishman, no other mics or sources.

Further to late night "not ok" post the other day...
Sorry. I'm trying not to be a drama llama. But it doesn't always work.
Sometimes I... don't feel "safe" in my own head. I know I should stay off the socials when that happens, but I am an idiot and I am weak.
Thanks for your patience. 🙏
