    Minor Pleasures

    Got a really excellent package of @Cornu Ammonis' musical offcuts today. Mostly Autechre, but also some bonus contemporary composer stuff, none of which I know, and a Residents dvd which i am very much in two minds about watching, in a good way. Absolute peak minor pleasure, possibly major...

    Upcoming Gigs of Interest

    I have a ticket for The Residents. Having looked up their live show last year I'm not sure whether I'm entirely looking forward to it, but I'm curious and it will be nice to get out of the house

    BREXIT

    Which is similar enough, from The Left position, to brexit now that I think of it...a stepping stone. But having agreed to jump, we find there are no more stepping stones accessible to The Left. Pointless.

    BREXIT

    I didnt listen in huge detail...I'll go back. But wasnt his argument that the French and German nationalisation actions a temporary emergency measure? His argument, I guess, being that if you want to nationalise something, fix it, and then hand it back to private finance to suck dry again 2...

    BREXIT

    It does seem like that was a pyrrhic victory for that sector of the left...what were they going to do with all this taken-back control and sovereignty and bla bla but with a vicious tory government in power, and a general lack of clear rational self-interest in society? We are where we are, I...

    BREXIT

    It feels to me in the JOB interview there that he's got one or two major legitimately held objections to the EU and isn't bothering getting familiar with more detailed arguments. I dont think he for destroyed by JOB at all. I think he's generally doing a great job. In the absence of a Left...

    Dyslexia

    That's awesome 😊 Good luck to her! In general Katherine sees dyslexia as a positive thing (you'll see why when you read the book), although growing up in the 80's with it has left some scars. She's great at reading, it just takes longer than some other folks, and she's very self-conscious about...

    Dyslexia

    My partner is dyslexic, I had to do a bit of reading about it to be more than vaguely sympathetic. There's a great book called The Gift Of Dyslexia (one of the two books my efforts to empathise extended to) which gets right inside what it actually feels like to be dyslexic, might be useful to...

    DIY Guitar Messing About

    Totally. That was suggested. The objection is that the basic rhythm needs to be absolutely accurate. If he was stomping his looper by ear to coordinate with a beat it would go out of time. If you get me. Having the rhythm in the pedal takes that problem away. But to take this puppy for a...

    Holy shit, Anthony. Hope you get on top of whatever you need to do to keep it at arm's length

    DIY Guitar Messing About

    @ann post, @JohnnyRaz and Moose, THANK YOU SO MUCH for the input. Srsly. If I read you correctly, Moose, (I'm assuming a typo and you meant to write "with" an output, rather than "without") this is exactly right. He uses his amp presently, a Line6 thing which has preset beats. He triggers a beat...

    DIY Guitar Messing About

    Could I pick your brains for a moment? I, an ill-informed drummer am working with a songwriter who uses a pedal to generate beats and then play over. We've played live together a couple of times. There's a constant live and rehearsal problem for me which we want to fix, and it is this: I need to...

    Home improvement

    Well, if the concrete floor is knackered you would dig that out and claw back some of the height, na? Might be an argument in favour of doing both jobs at once. (Edit...that's probably what you're suggesting...apologies if so. Yeah, you'd still lose a wee bit of height) @flashback...why...
