Sitting in the pub last night with bunch of friends, a collective of middle aged men and assorted old fuckers, when it was pointed out to me that I was the oldest among us
Very pissed off
Just realised Dr. Mackay from The Pitt is Bart the causal holistic assassin from Dirk Gently and it's freaking me out a little as she's was insanely good in the latter and very good in the former while looking completely different, what an actor!
Well what a thorough disappointment Slow Horses series 6 was
I could drive a bus through the plot holes, full of lazy coincidences. Roddy Ho becoming Norman Wisdom IT, absolute bollocks
Sadly Gary Oldman farting does not a quality drama make any more, used to be brilliant
#slowhorses
Gotta say, The Pitt is pretty good, the whole continual "24" timeline works well, storylines can arc through multiple episodes and be replaced by new ones, nice work and well made
Wife called freaking out as I was driving home about a mouse the cats had killed in the hall, she doesn't deal with them very well
It was a rat, dismembered but a thick tail remained, lots of flesh and blood, glad we have wooden floor and not carpet
I won't correct her on exact species
Not exactly a pop commercial hit by any standards but what an incredibly well crafted beautiful song in every conceivable way

Ok so I've been watching Lanterns, I have yet to stay awake for an entire episode, it's incredibly boring
Is it me or am I missing something? Granted I was always more Marvel than DC but Jesus it's so slow
Fell asleep twice during Ep 7, every time it starts to look promising it just slams on the brakes and tries to eek out more side stories and flashbacks
Finally did some more experimentation trying to record a useable snare sound with my cheap used snare only to find I got some great results just using a bit of eq and slight compression and not the long strip of plugins I'd been leaning on
That & a towel covering a quarter of the snare
Funny that
The joys of cats running in with half dead birds in their mouth then playing catch me if you can while leaving a trail of feathers, just what you need at 7am
Finally got round to buying an ABY pedal so I can record guitar via two amps at teh same time and blend tones, main issue being will my battered deaf ears truly appreciate the difference? I know my heart will
Just discovered that most vocals by The Black Crowes and U2 were recorded in the studio with good old SM57's and SM58's and sometimes pushed the budget by going with a SM58 Beta
Who needs a three thousand bucks mic when a hundred bucks one will do!
Just booked a xmas skiing family holiday but learned far too late in life to enjoy it, unfortunately everyone else loves it
Might have to feign injury on day 2 and stay close the bar
