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, β€œThe 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...

Sunny YouTube video by Booker T. & the M.G.’s - Topic

News that Booker T and the MGs guitarist Steve Cropper has died reminds me of this version of Sunny with perfectly effortless guitar… also the beginning, which was sampled to great effect in 1-800 Suicide by Gravediggaz youtu.be/ZltheEJSDyI?...

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

The last time I saw Nick, not long before he died, he came over and we watched a C4 documentary β€œI can’t stop masturbating” and about half of β€œVic and Bob in Catterick”. He had a new vape that stank of berries. I miss him too.

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.

Have somehow overcome self-cringe to share with a couple of people for feedback. Already wish I’d made a few extra tweaks before sharing…

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.

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…
