Hey there buttercups! Its Bandcamp Friday something I always seem to miss. I also very rarely mention my own music these days. So, if you're in the mood for some shoddily recorded d.i.y music here's a link you could follow lesteroshea.bandcamp.com/album/the-sp...

The bloke behind me keeps playing what sounds like the same song over and over for nearly a week now. Doing my head right in. Anyway im off to listen to Powderfinger by Neil Young. youtu.be/62h3DVzHL3k?...

First time in a while inside Old Trafford and first time for the youngest. Shame it ended up such a poor performance after a flying start to the game. #MUFC

Oh shit forgot the other important news. After a year off from my usual retail job whilst helping the Mrs with her childcare business im finally back stacking shelves and running around like a madman. Was fun whilst it lasted but at least I wont get called Retsel Pretzel or Alexa anymore

Kid moved out. Took my Vox amp with him. Took all the(his) bass guitars with him. We got a spare room now though. Music and art room coming right up. Knowing us it will take several months and he'll want to come back home once it's done🙄 In other news, got a pet spider. Might get some frogs next.

Love this performance by Glen. My Back Pages is especially beautiful with a little help from a fella in the audience. The way he just hands over the reins, quietly plays his guitar. What a Man! youtu.be/-x8L1YPt8iI?...

Here's the chorus without vocals. Was aiming for a Pavement kinda sound but fear ive entered into John Squire territory somehow, especially lyrically.

Demos are going well. Impressed myself with intro. Not bad for a first take with that lead guitar.

Trying to explain to my non sporty kids the excitement I feel towards the world cup. England getting beat on pens in 1990 is one of my earliest memories(I was 6) I even had the tracksuit/shell suit. Anyways im off to say 10 John Barnes raps as some form of prayer 🙏

OK ive got a spare £50 to set this up but it's taking place in my tiny back garden so I don't have to venture out of the house. I'll borrow some zimmer frames off my Dad for these geriatrics to get to the stage On a serious note some fabulous artists on here who you all should be listening to

Lester @lestermakesnoise.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Proof of life. Or proof of still making music. Slowly but surely the demos are getting put together.

This was lovely to read, and even more lovely that people are still finding and listening over a year after I released it.

I am not eloquent enough to describe how good this album is. Just know it's really fucking good!

NEW ALBUM KLAXON. Made by @cisumner.bsky.social and I without ever discussing how anything should sound or where an idea should go, we just did what we wanted to do. Not enough albums are made this way. Varied. Fun. Best served toasted. seewords.bandcamp.com/album/autotelic

A little bit of something new! Yes that is a glittery guitar. Yes it desperately needs new strings. But that's how I like them when I'm writing!

Love making music and little demos but anything to do with drums and programming them makes me want to burn the world down! Also fuck this squeaky chair!

Wife threw this at me and told me to stop being a depressive recluse and go do something creative. Last 18 months or so have been rather difficult mentally and a good kick up the arse was desperately needed. Now what do?😅

Listened to Fur Trader's entire back catalogue again today. Can't recommend it highly enough. If you like well constructed, well recorded, well performed songs that is. Which you do. Of course you do. MELODIES, MAN. Oh, and he's on here @andrewpelletier.bsky.social

Lester @lestermakesnoise.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

Yeah, that's the good stuff right there folks. I'm rationing it to once a day in hope that I don't get quite as obsessed as I did with 'This Tender Life' which was easily my album of 2025
