The very final guitar on the outro was me rehearsing for another take - but that was it, done! David Bianco (producer) was so fucking good.

Nobody has come up with a decent answer yet… so I’m trying this question again; Tell me; what is a benefit of having a single billionaire on this planet, that we share? @georgemonbiot.bsky.social .. have you found any uses for this? Is it important for world economies @garyseconomics.bsky.social?

The fact that so many #grassroots music venues, recording studios and artists have shut up shop or due to close down is a sign that income has shifted away from where it’s most needed. @musicvenuetrust.bsky.social funding for a few is all well and good; however, it isn’t fixing the problem.

#Ai impacts are already here right now. My stock photography licensing has fallen off a cliff this year —- it’s nearly May 2026 and I haven’t licenced a single image. That’s for the first time in 22 years. 😞

@garyseconomics.bsky.social … if you wanna delve deeper into how #Ai has already affected peoples work & income, keep an eye out for Petes new book / due out soon. 👍 /steve

errrr, why have Ofgem awarded Tesla with a licence to supply ⚡️ to the UK? Have we learnt nothing about farming essential services into the hands of overseas companies? Rivers & beaches brimming with raw shit yet no lessons learnt — or should we just call this corruption?

Drove back to West Wales yesterday from Forest of Dean approx 100 miles via new Head of Valleys/ Methyr road. In at least three places along the way there was a distinct smell of human faeces; not from me! Should this not be a public health priority for UKGov? @zackpolanski.bsky.social

If you struggle between ‘there vs their vs they’re’ .. doesn’t bother me. The English language has weeved for many a’years… go with woteva ye feel. Far more important to jot stuff down than get stuck in nitty gritty deetails and not post a thang 🙌

Historically, i love news cartoons & their 'picture speaks a thousand words'... to read between the human hand drawn lines, enabling a free flow of my own thoughts. ...trouble is; #Ai generating the above leaves it feeling dumbed down and questioning what is/ isn't real? #HumanArt

Honestly Ai looks a bit shit and also sounds a bit shit. I see so many posts saying how amazing it is… but really, you see and hear it all and there’s something inherently lacking. Sure it’s a super quick and lazy and cheap way to generate visuals and audio — but woteva, it’s lacking. 🫥

The #Bluesky feed algorithm—— it seems to actually work!! Try commenting on a few posts that you really like and your feed adjusts to suit… far, far, far faaaar better than anything X had to offer eg, I like alotta outdoor things / nature, fungi photos, wildlife etc etc ; commenting on a few..

Modern modern #internet I still haven’t gotten used to questioning every single photo, video or comment on the internet … questioning ‘everything’ generated by Ai or a human being? Or a mix of the two?? I dunno 🤷 it’s not always obvious. Internet; ‘blur 😶‍🌫️ and further diminished in trust

OK archive record; it was me (ME!) who did ALL artwork & direction for #Electrasy 'In Here We Fall' album .. worked on this many weeks in & around recording. Guy in the Arista NY art department credited his name on it at the final moment, just before it went to print. C*nt. #MusicianSky #MusicSky

Penny Plectrum 💭 feels clunky and completely unforgiving in the hand .. super direct .. jangly top end .. yet also a thuddy warmth to these old strings I can see why Brian May hated new strings.. that’d be far far too brittle yeugh It’s definitely got a thing about it #musicianSky #guitar
