In the 70s we had annual holidays staying with family or a Hotel in Torquay as my parents were from the area. A clear memory from that time was a shop selling tourist tat on the strand which, no matter the time of year or time of day, without exception would always be playing Max Bygraves's greatest hits, or a seasonal Max Bygraves album at xmas. Even at a young age I thought this was cruel and unusual punishment.

My song, "Take A Bite" is told from the perspective of Satan, who has taken the form of a snake. This character from a popular work of fiction represents free thinking and rebellion against those who try to keep people blissfully ignorant and obedient, and wrongly label him as evil due to his defiance. In the song, the snake speaks to someone content in ignorance, encouraging them to embrace enlightenment, knowledge, and self-awareness.

I feel sorry for anyone working in a shop in December having to hear the same dozen festive songs on repeat all day every day. I detest all forms of xmas music so I wouldn't be able to do it.

Discuss what kind of sound you want as a band before going in and appoint ONE person to be the spokesman/producer on the session who mixing decisions will go through and has the final say. The engineer will likely appreciate getting direction from only one person rather than trying to please two or more who are giving conflicting directions. If there's a commercial band with a sound similar to what you're aiming for, play the engineer some tracks (through proper speakers, not tinny phone speakers) at the start of the session and listen to them again before/whilst mixing. The engineer will initially set up a vanilla mix for you, so if you have been designated 'producer' its up to you to tell him you want a more aggressive guitar sound or a bit more ambience on the snare etc. Don't be afraid to double track the lead vocal if the singer can give two (or more) near identical performances; if done right this *can* sound like a single vocal but way better.

This looks like a good deal for someone at £199.98 delivered from Cash Converters, I nearly snapped it up as soon as I saw it, but I don't have room for another cab at the moment. https://www.cashconverters.co.uk/shop/music-tv--video/musical-instruments/amps--stage-equipment/pa-speaker/048900230598

I’ve gone a bit OCD and now only have boss pedals on my bass and guitar pedalboards. I discovered very early on that it was pointless trying to get self adhesive velcro to stick to the rubber base of the pedals. I have bought and fitted replacement metal bases to several of the pedals, but also removed the rubber foot from some of the pedals by heating it with the missus’s hairdryer, peeling it off and cleaning any remaining residue from the metal bases with lighter fluid before applying the velcro strip. This is all done with the base removed from the pedal just in case.

Had a reface decksaver delivered today for my YC to keep the dust off. These aren't model-specific so will fit any of the reface keyboards.

Is it a three colour sunburst body? If so I bet that's the answer.
