Good morning Richard - Friday once again. Where does the week go?

1st task today - adding another 6 bonus tracks to the new LP out at 8 this morning - taking the bonus material up to 74 minutes. Makes sense to download...

Mine, yesterday afternoon…

Can you grow an audience on Bandcamp? Your crash course on features that are for you, the band, and you the music fan.

Apparently the piece I wrote about Bandcamp almost 2 years ago is getting more traction so I figured I would post it again.
I talk about why Bandcamp is the digital record store for music fans and little neat ways to get more out of your music fan experience

Foot currently ok but seems to go to complete buggery overnight causing intense pain.

Just the one rehearsal on Monday there - gig tomorrow...

3/4 don’t have the comp

My grand nephews for World Book Day...

Box a day, playing 1 CD. Enough boxes to last over a year

I asked AI - "Which music is better? Snow Patrol, King Crimson or Alice Cooper?"...

Here's what it said

That's a mild word for it LOL! Morning Ricardo! Onwards!!

Tangerine Dream Tangerine Dream Thorsten Quaeschning, Hoshiko Yamane, Paul Frick Electronic music group, founded in 1967 by Edgar Froese in Berlin / Germany.

Enjoying some TD myself this morning - Katowice 2025, Turin 2024 and various sessions from the 2022 tour box set...

Morning boys! It's what subjectivity is all about... More power to your respective elbows...

Morning Thursday morning... After an afternoon/early evening of surprising respite from the foot pain - almost back to "normal" without the use of painkillers - it returned with an excruciating vengeance last night and overnight... So, back on the tablets this morning... Have a top day people...

Delighted to hear that Steve!

13/36 - high score and for such a strange bunch of LPs too...

Two good LPs came out of the "split". DD are an under-rated band...

Thanks RG - getting there I hope...

Ice has been being applied... It all started on Friday morning just before I got out of bed (I foolishly still went to the gym and walked about all day). Really kicked in Saturday & Sunday, is gradually easing but still a bit to go. Doing a gig on Friday, hopefully I'm a bit more mobile by then!

Those can be your 5 - I've done it for you!
