First time in a while inside Old Trafford and first time for the youngest. Shame it ended up such a poor performance after a flying start to the game. #MUFC

The elusive Worcester 😍🥰😍🥰 Only bought 4 packs. Already regret not buying more!
Oh shit forgot the other important news. After a year off from my usual retail job whilst helping the Mrs with her childcare business im finally back stacking shelves and running around like a madman. Was fun whilst it lasted but at least I wont get called Retsel Pretzel or Alexa anymore
Lester@lestermakesnoise.bsky.social · 4w agoKid moved out. Took my Vox amp with him. Took all the(his) bass guitars with him. We got a spare room now though. Music and art room coming right up. Knowing us it will take several months and he'll want to come back home once it's done🙄 In other news, got a pet spider. Might get some frogs next.

YYZ Records@yyzrecords.bsky.social · 2mo agoWe’ve sent a couple of gorgeous tracks to our 7” cutting expert. Can’t wait for those to become a reality, not long to go!
Love this performance by Glen. My Back Pages is especially beautiful with a little help from a fella in the audience. The way he just hands over the reins, quietly plays his guitar. What a Man! youtu.be/-x8L1YPt8iI?...

Here's the chorus without vocals. Was aiming for a Pavement kinda sound but fear ive entered into John Squire territory somehow, especially lyrically.
Lester@lestermakesnoise.bsky.social · 2mo agoDemos are going well. Impressed myself with intro. Not bad for a first take with that lead guitar.

Sometimes I think maybe it's not depression I suffer from its BEING A FUCKING FOOTBALL FAN!
Trying to explain to my non sporty kids the excitement I feel towards the world cup. England getting beat on pens in 1990 is one of my earliest memories(I was 6) I even had the tracksuit/shell suit. Anyways im off to say 10 John Barnes raps as some form of prayer 🙏

OK ive got a spare £50 to set this up but it's taking place in my tiny back garden so I don't have to venture out of the house. I'll borrow some zimmer frames off my Dad for these geriatrics to get to the stage On a serious note some fabulous artists on here who you all should be listening to

Proof of life. Or proof of still making music. Slowly but surely the demos are getting put together.
This was lovely to read, and even more lovely that people are still finding and listening over a year after I released it.

I am not eloquent enough to describe how good this album is. Just know it's really fucking good!
phoneswithchords@phoneswithchords.bsky.social · 3mo agoMy 6th album is officially out! It’s the most personal album I’ve ever done. I put SO much into this record. It’s a collection of memories from the Summers of my childhood. I couldn’t be more proud of this work. I hope you’ll take a listen. ❤️☺️ phoneswithchords.bandcamp.com/album/high-u...
Days like this I am glad I never joined a glam rock group. Couldn't be doing with leather pants in this heat!
