Oh man how'd I forget to post about going to see Drowning Pool on here?
A 15 year waited ended. I did get quite emotional. Signed poster from the merch table and the bassist's pick acquired... no idea who he was like, wasn't my mate Stevie, but two gigs in a row coming away with a pick

As a big advocate of mental health support, it's so great to see mental health messages like this in places like the gents toilets

Not one of my usual office dogs... not even my usual office in fact but a more than welcome afternoon of work nonetheless

Another birthday down. One where I actually thought of something to do for once so that's good.
Still too many birthdays having passed with no musical output but ho hum at least we have stuff in the pipeline this time

Aw no, have I not uploaded for a while? It's almost as if no one in my town can actually get played on it 🤨

If I thought a couple months were bad, imagine how I would've felt if I knew the album wouldn't be finished 5 years later 🫣

If Spotify wants to help the mental health of artists, how about paying them some fucking money?

Gonna be another busy year for my music rankings (not that I finished posting last years) ... just under 20 albums* for consideration and less than half the year gone

Next list is 10 pre-existing albums that made the most impression in 2024. Really not a competitive one this year but I feel like I say that a lot. Probably just a delayed win for 'Hushed and Grim' which probably should've had best album in 2021. #musicsky #musictopten #musictop10

I always like to recap my music listening each year with lists of my favourites. Here are 10 pre-existing songs I enjoyed the most this year. Moog synths and bouncy bass wins out again

Finally cracked out my modulation pedal tonight after having it for over 6 months and putting off buying it for 6 months before that. Not quite sure how to get the tones I want but plenty of time to fiddle about with it... assuming I ever turn it on again.
