Looking forward to this at the end of the month… even tho Eek-A-Mouse is by some accounts more wonky than ever these days motion-bristol.com/event/eek-a-...

At some point I will read instructions but for now enjoying making drum machine patterns entirely by accident

Oh yes! It will have Bluetooth etc xD

I had surgery yesterday to a fit bone anchored hearing aid. St Michael’s Hospital staff were fantastic. Now I am Pudsey Bear but soon I will be able to hear in Stereo! Next album will probably feature lots of silly mid 1960s L/R instrument separation, until the novelty wears off…

Watching Stranger Things with my kids, I did a double take when the penultimate episode, “The Bridge” (S05E07), dropped a full minute of Butthole Surfers’ Human Cannonball (1987). I once made one of them do a countdown to my cover of it: m.youtube.com/watch?v=SMWg...

It’s so long ago 25+ years that your guess is as good as mine as regards the chords, sorry… although I wrote it on a guitar, which I’m not great at, so they are probably simple just major and minors, nothing fancy. Here’s the word tho xD

I love her version of Shakin’ All Over

fiiiiiiiiiinally finished 2nd draft of Kabbalah and ritual magic book that I’d been working on for 2+ years. Started as notes from public talks and expanded.

In my city of Bristol UK last census, 0.83% people 16+ identified with a gender different from their birth sex (1 in 121). Rates were significantly higher for young people.

#TransAwarenessWeek Visibility matters.

This is the song that comes on when I need a sign everything will be okay.

Also 20yr anniversary of having to sing the words ‘washing machine’ every time I use one.

This is great!

I still have a lurker account in Twitter with no followers/following. Yet the feed is pure hate speech. Sometimes go there to rubberneck. This place seems lovely in comparison

Hello. This is my first post. I am supposed to be spending my spare time completing a book on Kabbalah. So joining a new social media site seems like a great move…
