Only 7% of arts workers are now from a working class background, only 1 in 20 in museums and galleries have working class roots. Diversity has failed in these areas. https://www.theguardian.com/inequality/article/2024/may/18/arts-workers-uk-working-class-roots-cultural-sector-diversity

Long time listener, first time caller. Got a cheapie compressor pedal from Santa. Never used one before, and while I’m not saying I have wasted my life up until this point (which I have) it is already proving to be surprisingly useful #guitarfx #guitarpedals

My wife secretly filmed me noodling on the guitar last night. The cat seemed to like it so I’m taking that as a sign, posting it 🎸 #musiciansofbluesky #catsofbluesky

“As an editorial cartoonist, my job is to hold powerful people and institutions accountable. For the first time, my editor prevented me from doing that job. So I have decided to leave the Washington Post” — Ann Telnaes, after drawing this cartoon, which included the image of a supplicant Jeff Bezos

Made some music this year. None of it is really ‘finished’ yet but I’m posting this one anyway. Not done, but abandoned somewhere interesting on.soundcloud.com/LfUosv2FAYrU... #musiciansofbluesky #drumandbass

For anyone in the UK, If you text ‘SHOUT’ to 85258 when you are in a dark place or suicidal, a trained crisis volunteer will text you back. This is great If you find talking on the phone challenging. It’s completely free 24/7. Please Repost, you never know who might need this support

The #Fender amp is back from the repair shop looking and sounding marvellous. That said - having the power valves crap out after one year of relatively sedate home use doesn’t inspire confidence that this £1000 bit of kit is going to go any sort of distance, which is not how it should be

Frankie is having what appears to be a great day, so just maybe it’s all going to be fine. #catsofbluesky

Climbed on the hype train, waited a few months to get hold of one and was… underwhelmed in the first few minutes. The headphone mix takes a bit of dialling in, but other than that it sounds great & is super-responsive plugged into just about anything with a speaker 👌 #guitarpedals

This has been a vital message Netpol has promoted vigorously on the other place: blue bibbed "police liaison officers" at protests are intelligence gatherers, you do not need to speak to them, so don't

The album is up on Spotify, Bandcamp, Apple Music etc, but if you fancy another “ sort of experience” I’ve put all the songs into this tryppy video that oddly contains a couple of films about prison and living in the moon.😵‍💫 m.youtube.com/watch?v=pG5-...

Pretty chuffed by this comment over on Felon’s site about Nothing Left To Do But Smile. Druggy music? Is that what I make I ask myself, as I wash a couple of painkillers down with red wine?

Updating my ‘guitar amp and effects in a small bag for band practice in the shed’ by swapping out the still-useful but heavy PodXT for the even-older-nowhere near-as-good-but-still-fun Korg Ampworks proto amp modeller. Sounds pretty good through the little Blackstar tiny stack all told

Well shit.
