in additional absurdities, i tie-dyed an old jumpsuit for gigging purposes

the results of the dying remain to be seen, but my hands sure are looking different

i wonder if they’ll be clean in time for saturday night’s gig

what an odd choice of hyphenation in “zero waste to landfill” by tetleys
the text from the side of a box of tetleys decaf tea, yellow and white on a blue background. it reads; PLANT-BASED TEA BAGS Our box is fully recyclable and compact to minimise packaging. Our tea bags are now plant-based, so you can dispose them in your food waste bin. [A LINE PICTURE OF A FACTORY] Our factory uses 100% green electricity and sends zero waste-to-landfill. (Waste to landfill here is hyphenated for some strange reason) [SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS] And all this is just the start - keep an eye on our social media & website for updates @TetleyUK

i quite like apple’s shared photo library feature, not least because every now and again i come across a photo taken by @a-bumbledbee.bsky.social that i had no idea about at the time 🥰

this brought me much joy
a picture of a samurai walking a cat on a leash, with the following caption: "On the oth Day of the 2nd Month of the First Year ofthe Kampo era. Taking a moment of my free time, I wish to express my joy of the cat. It arrived by boat as a gift to the late Emperor, received from the hands of Minamoto no Kuwashi. The colour of the fur is peerless. None could find the words to describe it, although one said it was reminiscent of the deepest ink. It has an air about it, similar to Kanno. Its length is 5 sun, and its height is 6 sun. I affixed a bow about its neck, but it did not remain for long. In rebellion, it narrows its eyes and extends its needles. It shows its back. When it lies down, it curls in a circle like a coin. You cannot see its feet. It's as if it were circular Bi disk. When it stands, its cry expresses profound loneliness, like a black dragon floating above the clouds. By nature, it likes to stalk birds. It lowers its head and works its tail. It can extend its spine to raise its height by at least 2 sun. Its colour allows it to disappear at night. I am convinced it is superior to all other cats."

really pleased somebody caught this solo from saturday night

i tried to blend my style of lead with davey’s and i think it comes through quite well

slower solos over a quiet rhythm section are always so exposing; this isn’t perfect by any stretch

but i’m proud enough of it to share it online 🤘

my girlfriend is reading my copy of lord of the rings, which i have generously scribbled in over the years

she just sent me this particular gem 🥰
a photograph of a page of fellowship of the ring the following passage is underlined with a note saying that it reminds me of my dad “His hair was perhaps whiter than it had been then, and his beard and eyebrows were perhaps longer, and his face more lined with care and wisdom, but his eyes were as bright as ever, and he smoked and blew smoke rings with the same vigour and delight.”

i love playing gigs where there are professional photographers knocking around

here are some faves (of me, duh) from a blackpool set we did earlier in the month

#eyupmaiden #metalguitarist #femaleguitarist #transguitarist #livemusicphotography
a woman playing the guitar, one foot planted up on a monitor, the guitar held out to the side, and her right hand up in the air exalting the audience to sing along the same woman playing in a similar position, but the guitar is in front of her face and a pride flag is visible hanging from the headstock a man in black is next to her playing guitar at the same time the same woman as before, playing the guitar. she’s looking down in concentration as she does solo work high up the fretboard a black and white photo of the same woman and the same man as earlier, both playing guitar side by side. she is leaning back and holding out devil horns to the crowd as she sings along, her eyes are focused on the Em chord she’s playing
