I'm engaged in a major art project and it feels sooo goddamn good to dust all the cobwebs out of my painting faculties. Who knows, maybe I'll actually start doing it for fun again...?

My mum is crowdfunding for a new laptop for me for my birthday next month. Would anybody be interested in contributing? My current laptop has no battery, cracked case, faulty screen, sometimes decides it doesn’t have an OS and is 15+ years old. Would love to have something I can do art streams on!

On this day 41 years ago, #TheCure released their sixth studio album, "The Head On The Door". Reviews noted that this album marked a new musical direction for the band, where #RobertSmith had managed to make the band's trademark "gloom and doom" style both "danceable and popular".

Gee I sure hope the autumn floods don't erase all memory of the extreme heat & drought Britain went through 3 months ago.

I really shouldn't drink anywhere near any performer at all. When I drink my forked tongue works loose and I use unseemly words. The threat of actual space death will probably slip my mind as the curses slip from my lips, somewhere, somewhen, and I will receive the end I deserve.

I'm freaking out. At rock bottom and am probably going to have to resort to sex work just to eat and be housed. I personally feel uncomfortable with the idea, but it's the last idea I have since I've been told by multiple doctors I physically can't work givebutter.com/keep-a-disab...

Just spent the money from people who bought my latest thing (which none of you had to do! I'm very grateful, thankyou so much!) on new strings. And so the cycle begins again.

Every now & then the past will surprise me with a band I'd have absolutely loved if I'd heard of them. DARK ORANGE was a German band from the early '90s whose sound was a blend of All About Eve and Cocteau Twins. The more or less pre-internet era hides so many gems... youtu.be/SnPv4zmB3zE?...

Ok so I know that impedance sensitivity and buffers and bypass modes are stuff you need to think about when assembling a signal chain but I think I need to consider how I lay out my board so it doesn't look like the Bosses are bullying the smaller pedals.

My friend has a field recorder she uses in her workshop (she is working up to making YouTube stuff). I have Reaper and *a lot* of vsts. She sends me clips of silly workshop noises and I put a shit load of effects on them so they sound like spaceships and send them back. This is symbiosis.
