I really like Guns N Roses Chinese Democracy, but it is true that a few of the songs really do sound like the Dracula Puppet Rock Opera from Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Street of Dreams being the worst culprit.

RedLetterMedia needs to start doing a podcast. I've been listening to their film commentary tracks whilst working this last week. They are great. They could get together & chat about films for an hour once a week in a looser format than Half in the Bag, & I would gladly listen.

Genelec 8040B monitoring. Even in a shit room they sound amazing. The desk is temporary. I will be adding a RME UFXIII audio interface and a Neve 1073DPX preamp for a truly world class home recording setup.

I'm 45 years old. I've played guitar since the age of 14. That's 31 years. Am I 31 years good? Not at all. I can appear good at times. Because 31 years of messing about brought me to a certain level which can appear semi competent to anyone not really paying much attention...

Next up is Berklee & CAGED systems to fill the gaps. Within months, I will have the entire fretboard memorised & will be ready to play in any key whilst understanding the notes & patterns. Completely overturning 31 years of laziness. I even learnt Wonderwall. It's addictive...

I feel refreshed and committed and I might actually love guitar (again? did I ever?). Weird to say after 31 years of playing (actually half arsing it). I have basically started from the beginning again, this time trying to do it right. Hopefully it's not too late.

Thanks to Nick Oliveri and Mike Pygmie for the photo after the Mondo Generator concert at Boom, Leeds. Made my night. Cheers. They loved my Fudge Tunnel shirt as well. #mondogenerator #nickoliveri #kyuss #boomleeds

The Offspring's Smash album has turned 30. My big brother bought me this album when I was 13 years old. It pretty much changed my entire musical perspective & is still one of my all time favourite albums. I will never stop loving this album. #theoffspring

This is the Radiotron Designers Handbook. First published in 1934 as a 40 page booklet. This is the 1957 edition. It's the bible for amplifier design. I would love to be able to build guitar amps one day.
