That'd be great, thanks! Must admit I've not exactly been very prolific myself of late either (to put it mildly!), just little unfinished ideas...but if I come up with something that could do with some extra input from your guitar-ing I'll keep you posted!
And yes, definitely up for doing some 'tron / synth things for the Arthur Park stuff you're planning! I'm not sure how easy it is to send DMs on here but will try and get my email address over to you.
Yeah it was really weird, I'd posted a reply to your Kenneth Williams photo saying "FRRRYING TO-NIGHT!!", pressed 'send' and next thing I knew, fb demanded that I do a 'video selfie' of my face, which it turned out was part of an appeal against them suspending my account. Fat lot of good that did!
Hi Pete! Great to hear from you, I was worried in case any of you thought I'd blocked people or flounced off in a strop or something, and most of you I have had no way of being able to contact outside of fb since I got kicked off there with no warning or reason. Still trying to get back on...
Hell of a legacy youβre building there, dummy. It doesnβt matter how many times you plaster your name on buildings and ballrooms in tacky gold letters. Your grave will be one big beautiful public urinal.
He's a bit old to be spitting his dummy out whenever he doesn't get his own way.
"Only British citizens"? He spelt "nobody" wrong.
"We only respect the 'will of the people' when OUR SIDE wins!!"
When it was the Brexit vote result it was all school-playground gloating and "We won, you lost, get over it!!".
They were terrible winners then, and they're terrible losers now. They're just terrible, period.

What heartwarming news to wake up to - a first in more ways than one. And a decisively comfortable win at that!
The debut (Legend / Leg-End) is a particular favourite on this turntable here.
Now *there's* something I never expected to see mentioned anywhere, the "R2D2..." track! Veronique and I did that jam 25 years ago now, amazingly. Was just looking to see if she might be on here when this popped up in the search results.
Look out Mellotrons, you have a rival for my audio affections!*
(* Not really, but pretty damn close)
The Hammond Novachord: hard to believe that this was made in the late 1930s. Some sounds are of their time while others are waaaay ahead.

I hadn't thought of that until now but thanks Sara, that would be great and much appreciated! There are probably quite a few of our mutual chums I don't have other contact details for outside of fb (maybe one or two exceptions but that's about all) so that really would be helpful. Thanks again! xx
Hannah and Zack having a selfie
Final weekend. One last push.
This is about whether you want local plumber Hannah Spencer or the extreme Reform candidate.
It's hope vs hate.
It's Greens vs Reform.
Hope can win.
This is lovely.
Perfect thing to sign off with.
Happy birthday, Mr Williams!
Still waiting to hear back from them to see if my 'appeal' sorts things out, but right now I'm not holding my breath. But in another sense, in terms of preserving my mental health and managing the less desirable symptoms of Inattentive ADHD, it may well be a blessing in disguise... x
Totally, it's the only reason I stay(ed) on there really, keeping in touch with people and following music pages. I'm glad you saw my post here because I'd have hated for you and anyone else on there to think that I'd just casually severed contact when we've got some rogue AI bot to thank for it! x
Thing is, I'd been thinking of leaving anyway (but keeping Messenger a bit longer) - but when I was good and ready, not due to some batshit crazy AI bots combined with nonexistent support. And now, Messenger is also out of bounds. Slow handclaps all round.
They've probably done me a favour really.
Same happened to me on Friday evening. No warning, no reason given, no further chances to appeal, nothing. So to any of my fb friends/acquaintances also on here, this is why I suddenly vanished from there. Looks like there's a lot of it about...

Reform UK says itβll βresetβ Britain inch by inch.
But to what?
Smog, slums and Section 28? Their nostalgic fantasy hides a dangerous truth.

There was a LOT of stuff I had factored in on my "Shite things expected for 2025" bingo card, but this hadn't been one of them.

Turns out, that's the 'Baby Amp' range by Orange amps. In the light (or darkness) of yesterday's inauguration I was thinking of another orange baby at first.

Record label for "Venus" by Shocking Blue
What a fine, fine band Shocking Blue was. Heard this in the background on the trailer for Call The Midwife earlier, so out popped the 45...
If Janey Godley was still here she would post this herself.
But she isn't so I will.

I saw a good meme earlier along the lines of, if you're the kind of guy who believe tech bros like Musk have got your interests at heart, you're the same kind of guy who believes the stripper actually fancies you.
