cisumner.bsky.social @cisumner.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Today's trawl found this. DIY recording from a shed, of a song with a lovely theme.

cisumner.bsky.social @cisumner.bsky.social · 20/09/2026@lastudiolafayette.bsky.social I just saw a post you put up. I did write a song called Wake the Fuck Up because We're All Gonna Die. The song was written before Covid about general human crapness. I wish I'd not set it to Covid images for a video, but, there we are... Hope you play and enjoy it. 110
cisumner.bsky.social @cisumner.bsky.social · 01/09/2026It's a very charming album as a whole, but Little Hands is the standout for me. 111
cisumner.bsky.social @cisumner.bsky.social · 29/08/2026I ended up with 2 of their albums. I'm not sure what it was about them that drew me in, possibly the voice. I can still recall a few of their lyrics despite not owning those lps for over thirty years. 010
cisumner.bsky.social @cisumner.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Thanks for this post; I was just thumbing through The Decade in Tory to see what you'd said about him in the past. Perfect timing, thanks. x 010

cisumner.bsky.social @cisumner.bsky.social · 03/08/2026This book describes the poverty of hand to mouth existence and the accompanying fury of it. In it, the central character rages against all that is so evidently unfair. 'Henry Dubbs' is his summary of the dupes in similar lives that are not angry about it. www.caughtbytheriver.net/2024/04/cali....caughtbytheriver.net Caliban Shrieks: Surviving the Daily Grind | Caught by the River | Caught by the River 110
cisumner.bsky.social @cisumner.bsky.social · 02/08/2026It's a fantastic song, one of only a handful of other songs I bothered to learn. Simple chords too. Not acoustic, but this belter has a perfect pace for an ear worm while striding purposely towards any target (town, pub, campsite toilet.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=AM3w...youtube.comThe Teadrop Explodes - All I Am is Loving YouYouTube video by samuraiinCfede 110

cisumner.bsky.social @cisumner.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Throw some music on. This love song was written about sharing cheap booze with my partner, on an Amsterdam canal side, far from the maddening crowd. A stolen moment turned into a Time Machine, allowing me to re-see that beautiful day and the freedom we have, whenever I want. 011

cisumner.bsky.social @cisumner.bsky.social · 08/07/2026I remember that doc and that scene. I preferred the following scene when Ozzy Osbourne was knocking up a fry up in his kitchen, saying, 'It's bloody hard work being a rock star.' 110

cisumner.bsky.social @cisumner.bsky.social · 03/07/2026This is what @heathensquirrel.bsky.social did, over winter. 20 songs. It could have been 10 or 8, finely honed.

cisumner.bsky.social @cisumner.bsky.social · 02/07/2026Nick and I got busy, worked up music without presupposing what it should sound like, came up with 20 different pictures. Let your ears have a look tomorrow. 001
cisumner.bsky.social @cisumner.bsky.social · 22/06/2026AI is not the bedfellow I'm chasing. Though AI is not for me, its use as a tool for those that don't want to do the creative side is fine. Though, I wouldn't consider it to be their music at the end. Baring in mind, I used to make music with someone who once declared, 'Keyboards are cheating.' 110

cisumner.bsky.social @cisumner.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Thanks to @russincheshire.bsky.social I'm able to make sense of $1 trillion. If I got $1 a second, it'd take 31,709 years to make that much. I'd need 400 lifetimes to accrue it. 000
cisumner.bsky.social @cisumner.bsky.social · 05/06/2026You've got me at Pete Shelley and Holger Czukay. Not overly keen on the rest of the description but would like to know what on earth it is. 120
cisumner.bsky.social @cisumner.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets. On their first tour, I didn't go as I was all sanctimonious, 'The bloody guy from Spandau Ballet!' etc. I realised the error of my ways: where else would I get to hear so many obscure (to many) tracks from Pink Floyd's early repertoire? It was even a seated gig. 000
cisumner.bsky.social @cisumner.bsky.social · 30/05/2026I was at an event recently that only sold bottles + the Clarkson beer was all they had. Didn't know it was a Clarkson (didn't even know he'd put his name to one) when I bought it, it was someone else at the bar who told me. Tasted ok but I'll not get another. 020

cisumner.bsky.social @cisumner.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Today, the weather was perfect: tidied the garden and familiarised a cat to it, while drinking home made beer and listening to lots of music. Not listened to this in years, and it was beautiful. I had the whole lp on though, of course. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kret...youtube.comThe Sand Band - Set Me FreeYouTube video by TheSandBandUK 010

cisumner.bsky.social @cisumner.bsky.social · 15/05/2026I'll nice them a go sometime. They've done a couple of things I've liked but I don't quite subscribe to them. Seen them a couple of times as they're one of the Cockermouth crew's favourite band, but they don't quite scratch my itch. 100
cisumner.bsky.social @cisumner.bsky.social · 15/05/2026If only there were many more records like Here Come the Warm Jets, it's such a fantastic lp. Has anyone any recommendations of other music that comes close to this? 100
cisumner.bsky.social @cisumner.bsky.social · 13/05/2026I never used to wear band t-shirts but have had a few made quite recently. The Spacemen 3 (classic design on a yellow T) gets comments almost every time I wear it out. 010
cisumner.bsky.social @cisumner.bsky.social · 13/05/2026Crazy guitar solo in Quizmaster. I’ve also just had a t-shirt made of this album cover. So far, only my oldest friend has commented on it. 110
cisumner.bsky.social @cisumner.bsky.social · 04/05/2026I like a bit of quirky but often struggle with American bands - I'm so fussy. I like Fugazi, not minor threat; Bongwater, although there's not much on the Big Sell Out; Neutral Milk Hotel; early Mercury Rev (when chaos reigned) etc. 110
