I’m only on series 2 of MB so have many happy hours of listening ahead of me (it’s so good!). Great to know you have another show, too. Will check it out, thanks!

Returning to listening to @midnightburger.bsky.social instead, an infinitely more enjoyable and thoughtful listen.

I'm ridiculously proud of the show as it is, it's an entertaining and gently thought provoking weird thing, but I know it can be stronger.

Also need to sort out booking a time and space for working on the show with a director, which I'm very excited about, and also nervous - letting someone else in to my creative obsession! But that's the point: I need someone else's ideas and perspective to make it the best show it can be.

Next job: get back to extracting snippets for social media (and with the better audio). Also need to design a new info pack for venues and start trying to book some places for more performances - many venues will already be booked up until the end of next year!

The joke is, when it was ppl peer3peer downloading the crisis wasn't so bad. Ppl still paid for downloads or bought hard media. Piracy combined with ppl buying media is prob a better model for artists than 100% streaming for less than pennies

I remember MOJO magazine doing a "top hundred guitarists of all time" list in the nineties and ranking Cropper as second after Hendrix, and I don't think there was a single reader who didn't think that was fair, even though he was the opposite of a shredder and mostly played rhythm.

Yup. Apparently it was their YouTube channel, which I think means they escape ofcom scrutiny

That *does* simplify things, and makes it all the worse for someone to steal Your treadmill. My local leisure centre is a small town one, but has (I think, trying to count from memory) 8 treadmills. It’s a bit excessive. They don’t have multiples of anything else.

I choose mine by a complex assessment of which ever one is furthest from anyone else using one, or if no one else is, which leaves most room for several other people to arrive and be on a treadmill that isn’t next to me. Left-most is right next to staff desk so I rule it out except when forced.

I did a complete double take at the last line of this. He sees her as doing the exact opposite of what is happening. bsky.app/profile/sund...
Tomlinson says to Edgington that any challenges to this kind of view is "throwing up the smokescreen of racism". He sees Shabana Mahmood as throwing open the doors to refugees.
