All Activity

I've just got in after Gary Numan's warmup show in Frome. That was a spectacular show. He's definitely more industrial rock than synth pop these days. Great night.

Cool for cats - Squeeze

So a festival that's been going since 1970 has always been crap and has never had any music you might have liked. Fair enough 🤷🏻‍♂️

As Tolstoy contended in Anna Karenina, failure is much more interesting than success. I enjoy the bad acts much more than the competent ones. I've got a big TV, surround sound and I haven't flushed the toilet since lunchtime. It's the just like being there, but much cheaper.

Just caught up on English Teacher, Wet Leg, Supergrass, Blossoms - all fabulous and thoroughly enjoyed them. Are The 1975 just a bit overhyped and whiny though? Each to their own I guess 😂

What's New Pussycat ? - Tom Jones

Just got around to watching this - Jesus they're good!! Frankly there's just too much talent in that band.

I’m glad you’re enjoying it. Each to their own.

Yea, but Chris Squire and many others did! Both can be great - whatever works for you...

It's always been a load of crap, the current year is no exception.

There's been some good acts on today - Supergrass, Franz Ferdinand, Alanis Morisette, Biffy Clyro and now 1975 and Fratellis. I get it might not be everyone's cup of tea, but they are mine, and these are all bands/artists that are either currently popular or have been at some point in the past 30 years.

As much as I want to enjoy and respect music, most of these Glasto performances have been dire. To the point where it almost feels like a giant windup. Listening to the intro glowing BBC intro then being confronted by the performances is a curious test of sanity, and gullibility. Hope others are enjoying it more than me!

For everyday noisy environments like a pub, I use Loops on a low attenuation (this helps to understand speech). Loops on higher attenuation for when playing acoustic drums with standard monitoring and when it's IEMs I use with a limiting preamp to stop high levels. For sleeping I find the Bose sleep buds help distract my tinnitus. In fact I use them regularly when travelling rather than noise cancelling headphones.

It is turning into a bit of a saga.

Did Jameson or Jaco need a pick?

Lion Eyes - The Eagles

yeah a white n black is on my wishlist, I like the black hardware too but at the time you couldn't get a chrome one and just wanted that look 🙂

Totally. The form factor on these basses is spot on...

Tiger Feet - Shuwmuddywuddy

13 year old Renault Mégane Sports Tourer, doing approx 6,000 miles a year.......£135.17 for the year.

They hang a bit strangely with the neck strap button in the original position as they tilt forwards (assuming the same thing happens as on the Hohner B2). I have seen a picture of one (must have been a Hohner B2 as it was natural finish) with the strap button moved to the shoulder but never managed to find the picture again.
