Currently chopping up my guitar track & putting everything in time, even though I was certain as I was playing it that it was perfectly in time!

I like that the albums called "main course" too. I really want to listen to that album now. Sounds dirty.

I just Googled Bee Gee's songs, and I like the sound of this one!

Almost exactly what I told Routenote (see below). It's just where most people seem to listen to music though so I want to put my stuff there. But I'm not going to lose any sleep if they take it off.

After 30 years of playing I've just had my guitar refretted and set up properly. It's so much easier to play now! Through fiddling about over the years & not really knowing what I'm doing I'd managed to set the strings stupidly high.

Spotify seems to be gradually making it's tests more difficult to exclude actual real humans.

I still always feel pleased with myself when I beat my 30 year old chess computer. Level 4 playing as black ✊

I've just had my last album removed from Spotify for unsolicited "bot plays". What complete bollocks!

I few years ago I designed an electric guitar made from a bent piece of metal tubing. Probably impossible to play but it looks pretty cool!

Some people think if you don't like the Beatles you don't like music.
My brother & sister-in-law don't like the Beatles.
They've given me some of their old CD's to take to a charity shop.

I'm currently working on an orchestral / electric guitar piece & have had the great idea of converting my guitar audio into MIDI, so that I can arrange the orchestra (all colour coded) around it & avoid clashes with the guitar part. It also looks quite pretty!

In a couple of hours this will transform into delicious fishcakes. Probably.

My song "all music is pointless" contains lots of miniscule samples of some of the best artists of all time, so I made a video of lots of clips of paintings by some of the best artists of all time. If anyone can name any artists from this lot I will be very impressed.

I watched "Videodrome" again for the 3rd or 4th time last night. I love that film! It's even starting to make some sense now, in a completely bonkers sort of way.

I made my bathroom pull cord handle out of a bit of wood I sawed from a bush in my garden. I think it looks quite nice. More interesting than one you'd buy in B&Q anyway.

I made a cherry cake with cherries I picked when out running the other day. It looks a bit of a mess but hopefully it'll taste alright.

I'm struggling a bit with the guitar track on my latest composition, but I think it's a bit better now I've made it a nice aquamarine colour.

Actually this isn't that different to what snooker players did in the 70's! I think Bill Werbeniuk also got through a few pints throughout the match.
