Crusoe

One hand free to hold a pint and the other free to scroll through social media on the phone.

I like that. Make it and I won't buy it (because I'm skint). Maybe move the G tuner somewhere else.

Hmm, good point.

Is a Rolex going to be better at telling the time than the £70 smart watch I wear? My watch might actually be better at it, as it synchronises with GPS satellites etc. A £250 bass that has been properly set up will play better than a ten grand one with a badly cut nut and strings set so high you could drive a bus under them (yes I know that instruments that expensive shouldn't be badly set u, but it happens).

Genuine question, when was the last time Gibson brought out a new style of guitar? Fender have brought out the Meteora recently and the Acoustasonic (albeit it's based on their traditional electric guitar shapes).

Much as I'd love to see the original Sabbath lineup, along with Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax all on the same bill, I just can't afford that sort of money for tickets and accomodation

I think one of the photos may be real and the other photoshopped to save having to take two photos, but the guitars definitely are real. There are reviews of them on YouTube.

My wife has the power to have people sectioned and sadly, had to use that power this week on a client. ☹️

They do still play Glasgow every St Patrick's Day. Obviously, Bruce hasn't been in the band for a few years now, but I was lucky enough to see him play with them quite a few times.

Don't worry, he hasn't gone to the great gig in the sky. I saw a message on Bluesky, from Stiff Little Fingers, saying that he has announced his retirement due to health concerns. Best wishes to Bruce and here's hoping that he has a long, happy retirement.

Just be warned that you might get taken for a BMW driver

Saints by The Breeders is currently playing on Spotify.

On a Spockenbacker bass?

I think it may have been "Peggy Sue", with "All Day and All of the Night" also on the setlist.

Not Nick. Charlie.

Vase or vase?

ugh, I used to like you. 😄😋

Are you serious? That jacket looks bloody awful. Oh , you mean the bass... 😁

Imagine outing yourself as a "Friends" fan on here... oh! 🫢

Fantastic. Good luck to them for the performance.

A guy in Belfast had an expensive acoustic guitar stolen from his car, in broad daylight, not too long ago. it's just not worth it.

If, for any reason, you do decide to leave your bass in the car, make sure to leave the engine running and the radio on so that any would-be thief thinks that you are still in the car.

I don't know about next, but Stiff Little Fingers have announced their Belfast gig for next August, supported by PiL and Sham69, so yay for that!

The Wannadies - Yew and Me Song

That reminds me of the days when my mate and I would stagger home from the pub singing Beatles songs at the tops of our voices 😁
