Bought 3 of the 4 weezer SZNZ albums in record the other day. Ended up spending more than I wanted in Tower. I know some places do them for €25 but we'd walked fucking ages to get to tower and they didn't have them in freebird. I feel like I'd invested in this walk and was feeling a bit fucked...

Random text from my son last night. Can you buy me tickets for Faye Webster? What's a father to do? I bought them.

Turns out it was a Best Show t-shirt I pre-ordered fucking ages ago.

It was

I got a customs bill in the post for €15. Thought it was a scam so I brought it to the post office. They said it was legit. it was Merch or something. I have no clue what it is. Anyway, I paid it. I'll find out soon what it is.

22 of my fav "healthy" bars. Should arrive on Thursday.

Bought a super basic HB 40W bass combo for a gig at the weekend. Just tested it out and it seems fine.Loud and small with a DI output. It'll do perfectly. Might try to sell it next week. More exciting was the packed of velcro cable ties I added to the order

Postman delivered the new Marillion today. So far it seems to have split fans, here goes...gulp.

Record Fair in Navan yesterday, not bad. A few things I considered buying. The last one I was at in Drogheda had nothing for me at all. I bought Weezer's OK Human on record.

Bought Mink Car by They Might Be Giants on vinyl. "the lost album" released on 9/11. Pressed on vinyl for the first time. I hold that album in a special place. It was the first proper studio album they released with me as a fan and it was very exciting (I'd witnessed the release of a live...

New album by They Might Be Giants arrived in the post. It comes in an 12" record sized 144 page book. It's called Book. The whole thing is typed in very creative ways on a typewriter with massive reproductions of what can only be described as art photography. It is VERY impressive. All my...

New Marillion pre-order went live the other day. I bought the deluxe edition unsigned. Comes in a box with a million pages, CD and DVD with your name in the credits etc.

Granted a surprise half day at work. Spoiled myself with two records. - David Bowie, Blackstar - Fiona Apple, Fetch the Boltcutters

I'll pass on the kind words. We're still getting to grips with getting prints and postage and packaging costs. Early buyers have the advantage there.. postage is very expensive these days! The prints are from paintings that have been scanned by a crowd that specialise in large artwork scans...

Tom Scharpling's book "It Never Ends" arrived in the post yesterday, it's released today. Pre-orders done right.

A pair of jeans online. Dumb things turned out to be something I'd have never bought if I saw them in real life. Dumb internet clothes shopping. I checkie shirt in M&S in Dublin. Got it home, too big. Brought it back to the M&S in Navan where they didn't have the thing. Got offered a refund...

ha! my friend posted me a 1987 issue of Q because it had a Marillion article in it. two things struck me, 1. all the early graphic design boringness and 2. the amount of bands covered and reviewed that have totally disappeared.

I think I was a bit hard on VW. My first two listens were with headphones studying the fucking thing. Had it streaming in the kitchen today and enjoyed it. The streamed version has a different track listing (swaps Hero and The End Of The Game) and it works MUCH better. They always put the...

My CD of Van Weezer finally arrived yesterday. Worst pre-order fulfilment company ever. First impression; a bit disappointed. I hoped it would be a genuine 80s metal tribute from the heart (ie, normal Weezer) not a version of what people who don't like 80s metal think 80s metal is. I guess the...

Scrap that. Another disastrous purchase. The sound out of them was too "big", if that's a description, and was fucking up my ears. I prefer speakers that are tight. I'm giving them to my son.
