If the latter, then hardly a pleasure.

First proper gig in a piano-playing capacity last night. It went well.

Got a taxi home from a gig last week and the customary annoying conversation started with the taxi driver. You know the one where he asks you where you were and you say "a gig" and he asks you who was playing and he's never heard of them and then starts talking about Hozier or something. Anyway...

No idea what you are all talking about.

Return Of The Mack

Moved on to wine now . It's good too.

Packed in the dry January thing and now having a REALLY nice beer.

I'm in my Dad's house rooting around in his old vinyl collection. Blasting Rachmaninov right now. It's decent enough.

That OTR article on U2 is pretty spot on. But the most entertaining part is the bit down in the comments section where Jim Carroll and Brian Boyd are having an argument with each other by both pretending not to understand what the other is accusing them of.

Found 20 quid in my pocket that I didn't know I had.

Scoring a 90 euro lawn mower for 51 euros because the shop had mislabelled it.

I set things up to download stuff onto a hard drive attached to my desktop machine upstairs. I then use an app called Air Video to stream it to my phone and then bounce it to the (Apple)TV. The phone becomes like a remote control giving me access to the library of stuff stored on the desktop...

The streaming from a phone thing (which I know you can do with lots of media players and not just AppleTV) really is awesome. I still get a kick out of doing it.

Cycling to work this morning through Phoenix Park in glorious sunshine.

This truly is the best of Jill Hives

Rocking out in the car to Sleep, Bill and Ted style, with Rhys Chatham on the way to Hunters Moon

Very true. Great sounding record.

Marrakesh is great. But I'd still go to Berlin.

Augmented chords are just the same except you sharpen rather than flatten the 3rd and the 5th I think. So Caug is C + F + g#

Nice one Unicron. Just been trying this out. Always knew what they were but not really where/how to use them. They act kind of like jazzy bridging chords to get from one standard chord to another, especially if the root notes form a run e.g C C#dim Dm G.
