“Down with your pen and pad
ready to kill
To make me ill
You wanna be someone
you wanna be someone
Ruin someone
Make it as someone
You wanna be me
Ruin me
A typewriter god
A black and white king
PVC blackboard books
Black and white

I wanna be me”

Trump said “We’ve just heard Colombia is manufacturing cocaine”. No-one even laughed.
Insane.

My favourite thing about this story is the possibility that if melanin provides some extra safety from ionizing radiation then jet black (presumably African) people may be the best people to travel to Mars. Would love to see Musk’s face in that eventuality.

The mysterious black fungus from Chernobyl that may eat radiation
Mould found at the site of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster appears to be feeding off the radiation. Could we use it to shield space travellers from cosmic rays?

Sub 18 stone for first time in 2 years. May need to buy a new belt as I’ve dropped at least one notch size.

Something’s working. Either it’s the jabs, new diet and light exercise I began in November or I’ve coincidentally caught a wasting disease at the same time.

13 stone’s still a long way off.

“Oh so #chivalrous !”
She stepped upon his cloak
It swaddled her shrinking shape
Falling into the depths below

The assassin whistled a half tune
Went off in search of payment

“I found a book on how to be invisible
Take a pinch of keyhole
And fold yourself up
You cut along a dotted line
You think inside out
And you're invisible
Eye of Braille
Hem of anorak
Stem of wallflower
Hair of doormat”

Looking forward to checking this out. Slated on release but Murray Head’s concept debut album sounds a bit different.

Sad to learn that the Martin Fry who played tuba on a Robert Palmer album wasn’t the singer in ABC.

Interesting to me to find out he’d been in The Temperance Seven a trad jazz band my dad had really liked and indeed led to him buying a clarinet.
Which then lived unplayed in its case ever after.

Reading “Are We Still Rolling?” by Phill Brown about his time as a studio engineer and there are good stories in there and talk of albums he worked on that I now need to check out.

Love his tale about how the end of a joint he was smoking obliterated part of a Bob Marley master tape he was editing.

Spent a good half hour trying to get my Mac to connect to a bluetooth label printer before realising like an idiot that as it uses its own USB bluetooth dongle it's working fine, it just gets picked up as a USB printer. D'oh!

It's super quick when it's working though, less than a second per label!

The day the the world turned day-glo

Used to bathe in the glow of this in the chill out room of a club I frequented.
It’s not floaty cloud ambient but has a wheels within wheels vibe to me. Definitely used to feel I’d been on a journey by the time it ended.

The author of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is dead☹️

RIP Tom Stoppard

I have fond memories of seeing Travesties at the Barbican with a bunch of schoolmates.

Spending money to make money in theory.

Ordered label printer, bunch of cardboard boxes, roll of bubble wrap for large items and the better-for-the-planet brown paper equivalent for smaller ones.

Worked out can sell the half of my music gear I don’t use for £9k.

All going towards a house deposit.

Writing a sci-fi story. Dictated using the inbuilt iPad voice-to-text feature and then I go in and edit it all after. Today something made me laugh.

I said the words “remaining androids” which it interpreted as “Romanian androids”.
Now my imagination is full of thoughts about Romanian androids.

Originally from the sessions that became Combat Rock but this was on the (superior IMO) unreleased early version of it named Rat Patrol From Fort Bragg.

Surfaced eventually on the ‘extras’ disc in the Sound System box.
