I’ve recorded a properly raucous cover of the Leeds United anthem, Marching On Together. Might bring a smile even if you’re not a fan of the footy ⚽️. Enjoy! Give it a listen and a like 👍. My channel isn’t monetized, this was done for love. youtu.be/Kq0ogrvQaFc?...

If Medhi Hassan’s Jubillee “debate” with the circle of racists, fascists and white supremacists (shot in Los Angeles) proved anything, it’s that 99% of the left that currently holds office in DC is either in denial of, or oblivious to how dangerous The Right has actually become.

Just told a HS aged guitar student that we’d be starting to learn the Aminor blues scale next week. He then asked: “What’s ‘the blues’?” and I had to put a lot of effort into not appearing completely dumbfounded by his response. “What are they TEACHING YOU?!” - Mr. Schneibly aka Dewey Finn

Ok futbol people, last night in the Gold Cup Final between Mexico and the United States, a Mexican defender stopped a chance on goal with this being the result. No penalty given, no call made, VAR didn’t even glance at it. Does this look like the ball is accidentally striking the arm?

Perfect.

This “administration” and its disciples are all the proof I need that we don’t need to eliminate the Department of Education, we need to EXPAND the Department of Education.

Back to the Promised Land. It’s weird that it works out that both “promised land” and Premier League both start with PL. 🔵⚪️🟡MOT🟡⚪️🔵

I’m putting out the call for match day pictures or Leeds supporter related pictures from Leeds, Elland Road or anywhere else in the world. They’re to be used in a MOT music video. I thought it was time someone did a properly raucous version of Marching On Together. Photos used will be credited.

So, I guess BlueSky has gone grey.

It’s been a while since I had to prepare for battle. Special thanks to Zoli Semanate for getting my amp back to its crushing best. This should be a bit of fun. Lucky Boys, assemble.

This says all the words.

This is the disgusting person Trump wanted released to the United States despite his heinous human trafficking charges. Listen to him describe how he’d grab women by the neck. MAGA can officially shut the fuck up about the Epstein files.

"Liberalism’s devotion to fairness and belief in the honor system has made it incapable of taking its own side against those who would replace it with fascism."

Regarding Zelensky at the Oval Office: This exactly what I expected out of this farce of an administration; a non-stop shitshow of incompetence, hubris and malignant evil. In five short weeks, Dumpty has managed to erase 70+ years of global standing. TRUMP IS PUTIN’S BITCH

GET IN!!!!💙💛

Winner at the death. Absolute bedlam at Elland Road . 🔵⚪️🟡MOT🟡⚪️🔵 We’re top of the League! We’re top of the League! We’re Leeds United, We’re top of the League!

Watched the new release The Gorge on AppleTV last night. Was it perfect? No, but on the whole was a kinda fun, Saturday matinee creature feature. Allowed itself some lighthearted fun and a bit of black humor. And also, a little bit Lovecraftian. Anyone else?

So the GOP’s budget proposal cuts $880Billion from Medicaid. That’s nearly the entire Medicaid budget. All that “we won’t touch SS, Medicare or Medicaid”? Yeah, just like everything else with them, JUST LIES.

So, BlueSky crew, what do you think of the new Sounders FC kit, called The Salish Sea kit? Personally, I love it. While I have no hate for the Bruce Lee (red/yellow/black) kit, we don’t look like the Sounders playing in red. (And as a Leeds supporter, I never wear red).

We’re top of the league We’re top of the league….

The perfect message for the 💩 we are in. youtu.be/TaKrm5txGCQ?...

What’s something you wish you had a picture of? I’ll go first: I went to a party at a friends house in Seattle. I left the back yard and went into the house. In the living room I found Mark Arm from Mudhoney playing Rock You Like A Hurricane on GuitarHero and giving it the business. It happened.

And the 2025 racing season is underway. A densely packed grid at The Rolex 24Hours of Daytona is a great way to kick it off.

Been waiting for this since last February.

Happy Hamilton at Ferrari Day! Forza Ferrari!

I have moments of doubt regarding my move to remove all Trumpers, no matter how long I’d known them, from my life, both online and IRL, but then I take another moment and review the “why?” of that decision and am again convinced I did the right thing. It wasn’t about politics.

Not the best way to start my work day. For an inexpensive guitar, I really like this one (especially the neck & ebony fretboard) and use it for teaching so I can leave the Gibsons at home. Gonna try to save the neck before I resort to a replacement. Bollocks.

Facts.

Today marks my fifteen years of supporting Leeds United Football Club. I never imagined football ⚽️ would become so incredibly important in my life, but here we are. One day, I’ll make it to Elland Road. 🔵⚪️🟡Marching On Together 🟡⚪️🔵

Leeds United 1 - 1 Blackburn Rovers Not at our sparkling best today, and all credit to Blackburn. It’d be hard to argue they didn’t deserve a point today. Really disciplined at the back and left little room for a shot. Rest your legs, lads. We’re still top, and onward we march. 🔵⚪️🟡MOT🟡⚪️🔵

My 19yr old son has never been a watcher of movies/series. He just informed me that he absolutely loved the LOTR movie trilogy, then asked if I had the books. His eyes widened when I handed him the red leather, gold leaf edition of the trilogy my father gave me nearly fifty years ago. Up next: DUNE

Anyone else’s iPhone suddenly glitchy after the latest update?

Dear Star Trek: Lower Decks, Thank you for that. You deserve more than just one more episode. Q’apla

Haven’t been posting about politics, but Kimberly Guilfoyle being sent to Greece is the serious funny. What, Yemen was taken?

Finished watching SENNA last night on Netflix, and I have to say Bravo!!! to their production. Very well done, to say the least. As a former racer (regional sports cars), racing movies can be hard to watch. They very rarely get it right. This one did, even minute detail. Well done. Recommended.

Thank you, Nicko McBrain for your decades of brilliance. 🤘🏼😈🤘🏼UP THE IRONS🤘🏼😈🤘🏼

Watched the documentary: The Remarkable Life Of Ibelin last night on Netflix. An amazing story. Highly recommend.

Now that’s a test. No hiding from the harsh glare of reality for my Sounders. 🟢🔵EBFG🔵🟢

Today’s guitar challenges are opposites. 1) Teach an 11yr old how to improvise a jazz solo using the bebop scale. 2) a- Teach a 9yr old how to retune his guitar to D-standard. b- Use said D standard to play Blood And Thunder by Mastodon. Good times.
