I’ve got a pair of these aluminium dinked 45 adaptors going spare. I ended up springing for some fancy Waxrax adaptors and havn’t used these. They’re something like a £7 each from Jazzman so how about a tenner posted for the pair?

Not sure if it will be a regular gig or not yet, but I’m playing some records (mainly 45s) at the All Inn (fishponds) next Thursday (22nd feb) 8-10pm.

Funk, funk-adjacent, slightly psychedelic, soul-ish, rock breaks etc

next time you come round our gaff, we can get a double bike tag

I remember hearing Vitamin C when I was in my teens. A proper baptism by fire to the world of prog and Ege Bamyasi is still an important record for me. Gutted.

I was listening to some of their twist and shout era stuff recently. Bangers like ‘I say love’ - I’d not really noticed how coked up it sounds :-D
Really frenetic and such high energy vocals - exhausting!

cheers all!

@inchpincher I used emulsion so I could just go and get colour-matched pots. It was just too thin though. Next time I'll use acrylic.

@Oliver Schick the stilts are there, man, you just can't see them. They're always there...

cranking this today, while painting my bannisters as a form of work-avoidance. Doing the trick nicely!

Got a track list?

I dun a mural in the entrance hall of the primary school my kids go to. It was a lot of fun to do. Been over 10 years since I’ve done a mural, and I definitely had a bit of a re-learning curve to tackle. Not least of all to use better paint next time - I ended up having to paint everything about 3 times just to cover, which is a pain with my style as I do a lot of cutting back in.

Impossible to get a decent photo, too, as it’s in a slightly gloomy hallway with a big pillar in front of it.

Ha, yeah as ltc says, there are things that my eyes clearly trauma-muted at first glance and took me a while to fully take in!

Despite.... everything.... I feel like the Brooks is the main offender on this

Just realised I’m probably a couple of hours late for this 🫠 will catch it on the upload

I’m the opposite. I always forget about the bag of LPs I keep accidentally kicking on my way to get a 45 out of my box

Ha, thats interesting. It's something my wife and I had chatted about occasionally over the last couple of years, but never seriously considered. We watched a couple of documentaries recently that sort of horrified us - stuff we knew in theory, but seeing it laid out in detail hit it home. Been vegetarian for a few weeks now and I'm not really missing meat at all so far.

This book kind of galvanised my decision. My wife decided against reading it after my description :-D

Not sure why but the first thing that popped in to my head when I followed that link was 'ambient Francis bacon' :-D

Has anyone read Tender Is The Flesh?
I’m struggling to work out how I feel about it. It was very shocking and disturbing, which I was expecting, and it really stuck with me and made me think.

… a valuable lesson about prep work. Did a very un-thorough job of rubbing down the existing paintwork, then whacked a couple of coats of the dark green on. It basically just peeled off again - you could run a fingernail across it and it would scrape off back to the white. Now I’m sanding it all off again and properly giving it some tooth before I do it all again. Serves me right for rushing a job!

I'm intrigued as to what it was :-D

Not sure why, but a certain bit of graffiti on the bike path springs to mind?

Ooh, if the next one is somewhere I recognise that’ll be a good excuse to nip out for a mid week spin to track it down

I’m stumped on that one

Link now fixed!

yeah not sure what's going on - can't get it to play now.

Thought I'd drop this link here. A good friend of mine has a regular slot on Noods Radio and did a cracking jazz mix the other night.

Anyone after a bike in perfect condition?
