Sometimes an episode of your favourite podcast just isn't worth listening to. Encountered two today from different pods. On one, the interviewee was guarded, giving short answers to open questions and not really engaging or opening up. I felt sorry for the interviewer who was trying really hard […]

Looking through very old bookmarks which seem to have followed me as I've changed browsers over the years. This blog stuck out, just been having a read now. Last updated 14 years ago, it's a survival guide for homelessness, written by someone who was homeless at the time. I wonder what they're […]

Finally finished George Eliot's Middlemarch last night - found it a real slog to get through. Some entertaining bits, mainly the phrases people used to insult one another. The last few chapters were most engaging as all the threads were drawn together.

Adding some outputs I made a couple of adaptions to my modular this week, both involving adding new outputs. First, external connections for the spring reverb module. And then a stereo pair of balanced outputs for the main modular. The Doepfer A-199 SPRV is a basic spring reverb module that […]

Putting together a track from bits and pieces, after the studio jam alone sounded a bit drab.

I'm starting to try to email artists whose music I play on the radio show, to let them know it's had some airplay. Often I already have their email address, because it's someone I know or have played a show with. Sometimes I'm sent promos from PR agencies, sometimes it's stuff I've come across […]

Now researching replacement LCD screen for my old laptop, that I mostly use for recording at the studio. Seems like a bit of a minefield to find the right one, and it's a big waste of money if I mess it up (looking like £100+). Fingers crossed I can sort it tho.
