Tried on a pair of baggy combat shorts in Primani. I looked like I was in fucking NOFX.

Sheltered in HMV from the ghastly rain earlier. An album I was after was £29.99 so I sat on the very comfortable sofas they provided and bought the same album online from Denmark for £17.49. Cheers, HMV!

Tired as fuck today. Had to get up in the middle of the night to write a song. Woke up this morning and it surprisingly works. Think “Motown Junk” mixed with Stiff Little Fingers. Tidy! *yawns*

Took the missus for breakfast in Tim Hortons and now I think I’m posh.

This is about as close as I get to Smooth FM. #LennyKravitz #GingesListeningPost

Okay, I wasn’t fussed on the last single, but this one, whoa! It’s like it’s jumped straight out of the early ‘70s. Loving the guitars. Maybe I am a little bit excited for a new Alice Cooper Band album. youtu.be/YqwLaYFGrn4

No manager, no player retained list, no new kit, no pre-season details, no fucking clue. #CardiffCity #Bluebirds #CityAsOne

I’ve to write today off. It’s consisted of school runs, Valium and sleep. That’s all I’ve managed. Must remember, it’s just a day. Try again tomorrow.

Eating Valium and looking at pressure washers.

My mate just messaged to let me know he’s listening to Pizzatramp before his first rehearsal with a male voice choir. Wales as fuck.

Nothing will beat the combo of my Junior with a Vox AC30, but for songwriting around the house, this AC2 is a crunchy little number and it really packs a punch. 💥

For tea, I cooked prawns, mushrooms and spring onions in a tomato and chilli ramen with udon noodles. Basically, it was a Pot Noodle for wankers.

Can anyone help a brother out? I’m looking to have 3 simple letters in the New York Dolls lipstick font. Just need it to read… L.U.V. It’s for a project later in the year. Thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to help. x

Got sent this photo of my Gramps’ rose in my Mam’s garden. It blooms every year; just the one flower. Jeff Buckley’s version of “Hallelujah” was playing as I received it. Bloody ruined me.

I lived through this album in 1994. I understood its importance to many people, but it totally passed me by. Fast-forward 31 years and I’m giving it a spin. This is my missus’ copy and she adores it. Track 1 seems to be 14 songs in one. Will it be too jazzy for me? #JeffBuckley #GingesListeningPost

Oh, just give the job to Ramsey already. He knows the club; he loves the club. Yes, it’s a risk, but it’s an exciting one. #CardiffCity #Bluebirds #CityAsOne

It’s only taken me 16 episodes of Andor to realise he’s the character from Rogue One. I’m such a bellend.

Up until the solo, “Don’t Stop Me Now” by Queen had no guitars. It was just piano, bass and drums. I would’ve loved to see Chas & Dave tackle that.

When I got out of hospital and started new medications and therapies, I had one simple goal. That was to walk through town on my own with no paranoia and minimal anxiety. Y’know, just hold my head up high and be me. It only took 7 years, but I can do that now. So that’s good, isn’t it, Honky Tonks?

Whenever I hear Ladysmith Black Mambazo, all I can think of is tomato soup.

The glazier came and his name was Keith. I feel confident in his work because his name was Keith.

Christ, I’m bored. Glazier - show up! Cardiff City - do something! Anything!

Sat in all day waiting for a glazier and a new Cardiff City manager. It’s gonna be a long one.

Kids: “Dad, can go to Comic Con?” Dads: “No!” *Comic Con announces Billie Piper* Dads: “About those Comic Con tickets…”

The kids always insist on Heart being on in the car. I don’t get it. They’ll play two modern tracks before a cheesy DJ voice goes, “next up after the ads is CeCe Peniston.”

“Teardrops” by Womack & Womack is an absolute banger. That’s it. That’s the post. youtu.be/R8AOAap6_k4?...

Exactly 4 years since I knocked the John Player Specials on the head. My NHS app reckons I’ve saved almost £11,000! In reality, I’ve saved bugger all as I’ve blown it all on records, crisps, vape juice and adidas daps.
