Well this is just plain shitty, one of the last Metal pubs left near me, and a great gig venue closing down thanks to the Stonegate Pub Co. Been going there for over 25 years and it's always a great night, and a safe space.

RIP Ye Olde Foundry in Dudley.

When I moved to Dudley I didn’t really know anyone, apart from work mates and the missus’ family. I wasn’t part of the local music scene at all. I got introduced to the Foundry by a customer when I was working at Maplin, and I always loved it there since. So many memories, so many people, and so many great bands. The Foundry helped me find friends, get back into sound engineering, and get me out of my bloody shell. I haven’t been as much as I used to over the last 2–3 years, but I still hold it really close to my heart. It’s genuinely sad to see it go out like this. Here’s a little petition, even if you’re not a fan, sign it for me.

My local rock pub Ye Olde Foundry, my home for many years has been closed by the brewery. There’s a petition, if you could sign it that would be amazing. Save a community, a grassroots music venue and so much more. www.change.org/p/save-ye-ol...

Have a look at a G502, its a great gaming mouse. Currently between that and a MX 2S

Can’t beat a bit of Linkin Park! Not listened to this one is such a long time!

Is that a C…hicken?

Laying in bed, Linkin Park - Meteora is playing on my iPod. Yep, this, is, 2026.

The decks are up!

Had to zoom in, thought it was gonna say Live, Laugh, Love 😂

Had this made after finding a little bit of Dudley’s horror history in Dark Side magazine. #BelaLugosi #Dracula

A little Dudley Castle line and wash I did on a twitch stream this afternoon

Finally got a copy of James Whale: A Biography by Mark Gatiss. All the way from America, originally published in London, and that’s about a man who was born less than 500m away from my house in Dudley #Frankenstein

Anyone in the UK care to plagiarize?

I seen that thing floating around about saving water by deleting pictures off the cloud. Went to see it it's real.
Yup.
It's real it's here.
It's a big long thing about droughts and saving water, and it's a tiny bit at the end.

Ah I couldn’t think who it was. Didn’t think you was a fan. Can’t be that bad being orchestral? Might give it a listen later

Think it depends on which shop. What did you end up buying?

Was watching VHS Massacre on Troma Now and notice @vhsmassacre.bsky.social was following me!

I'm gonna put paint up my nose and sneeze, I need some help with developing some artspeak, I'll cut a commission 😜

Musicians, do you feel you’re less creative now, surrounded by all this gear, than you were when you were younger and had almost nothing?

Any recommendations for ergodic horror books? Loved House of Leaves.

Just started reading The Hellbound Heart for the first time. I love the films to bits, only a chapter in so far and it’s already hooking me in (…with chains)

Just came across this gif I made about 10 years back while looking for something else. It's of the Merchant Seaman’s Memorial in Cardiff

Anyone else enjoy a soundtrack when reading? Just reading Camilla by Sheridan Le Fanu, drinking whiskey, and listening to John Carpenter.
