iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I am happy to report that our return to a more physical, embodied approach to making records (without a computer / DAW) is paying major dividends. We’re two tracks in and the results are something special. Everything comes out sounding like it was made in the 1970s, which is no bad thing (we think).

This is a deeply niche observation, but the captain of Bradford City AFC (that’s a soccer club in England folks) is actually called Max Power. If you’re a Simpsons fan you’ll know this already, but there’s an episode where Homer legally changes his name to Max Power, which he got off a hair dryer.

Homer Simpson singing to the tune of Goldfinger: "Max Power! He’s the name whose name you’d love so much. But you mustn’t touch… his name sounds good in your ear…"

Had a Fold OG lineup reunion yesterday & the BEST news: our OG bassist Ben finally got his transplants after 5 years of waiting & home dialysis. Operation was a complete success! We’re so happy for him. Possible reunion gig in 2027, if things aren’t too post-apocalyptic. Long live Ben & the #NHS ❤️

If oil (and gas) prices continue to rise like this for a sustained period of time, let’s say a month or more, the global economy may well collapse. This is no joke.

I actually managed some DJing last week at the Amity Brewery in Farsley, Leeds. Man it felt good. Our guitarist Sam & I used to have a residency at the Doghouse in Leeds for a few years before COVID. Missed it. Will be DJing again at The Brudenell Social Club Record Fair on Sun Nov 16th (10:30am 😱)

Confession: my only self-indulgent obsession, that I have no money to indulge in currently, is the long out of print collectible card game known as Middle Earth. Made between 1995-98, before the films, it is an immersive CCG / tabletop hybrid masterpiece. I’d even describe it as almost open source.
