I like looking at the sea most. I play the guitar and ponder home recording software like an ape with a monolith. You can tell I have CFS by the deep indentations in my favourite chairs.

Over the last 2 years I became obsessed by 'Versions'... and I keep finding others on this old laptop
The original 'Hannah Hoch Sez' was a good beat with just cut-up stuff strewn around it
Then it became this 'Version' with my pals Gavin & Raymond involved. Vid by me.

I have a new album out in 2026. Please consider a @lnfg.bsky.social membership. Here's a handy graphic with me on it. Incredibly good value, PLUS you money off in the shop, and incredible bargains to be had when majors do stock-drops. Have a look at the graphic to see what you get...

Your mid-50s is a time of confusion where you're not sure if it's age or your usual curmudgeonliness that has you wondering why anyone over the age of 16 would like Funkopops.

@billyreevesok.bsky.social yer man. There's links in the replies to the original post.
This week’s guest is the one and only Mickey Bradley (@mickeyundertone.bsky.social): bassist, broadcaster, and all-round raconteur from sunny Derry. We dive into the early days of The Undertones, Terry Hooley's Good Vibrations label, and the eternal question of whether bands need "the" in their name

Keep an eye or an ear or proboscis out for this. Thank you @steve69.bsky.social for giving me free reign to ramble about some tunes I like. Most of my friends recognise the signs now and steer the conversation elsewhere.

I enjoyed A Complete Unknown. Very Hollywood bullshit. But bullshit seems appropriate if you're making a Dylan biopic. However, did they really have to do Suzie Rotolo so wrong?
