Really heavy rain this week. Rainy Season about to start too. Glad to have completed my recent trips last week and don't have to leave the house for the next 2 weeks...🙂

Intelligent Life: #music + #comic youtube.com/shorts/lYRvf...

In a 2 year old Blog Post, "Music, Producer, Sometimes Musician" on "not being a guitarist". These days I do "Music Comics", rather than this DAW video stuff. #music youtu.be/GmB4id91bdw?...

Taiko Metal Short. The Tall, but Short version bound to get more views. This uses Gemini AI for the image and it did a much better job than GROK, but guess google already accessed the whole web and uses their copy 😒 #music + #comics youtube.com/shorts/PVSdD...

Off to the Bank this morning, then to a café...

TAIKO drum loop and CHUGG metal guitar... mostly. Last weeks episode of 自分流 (Jibunryu, one's own way) was on this Taiko Drum Manufacturer. A Taiko Troupe is impressive. #music #comics #metal #drums

FB reminds of me of my 2023 take on AI... #comics

So a #music + #comic on the over night trip this week to the exhibition of the artist's THE GHOST IN THE SHELL, APPLESEED and other works. Seeing the manga pages size they were drawn is extra impressive. youtu.be/gnTv1ktwls8

Only my way back to Kyoto after an overnight trip to see the Masamune Shirow Exhibit. A hotel stay in Shinjuku. Didn't go into biccamera or do any shopping there though. Don't need anything/couldn't be bothered.

So the INDY500 is imminent? Always seemed to me something non Americans pretty much ignored, left turns only too dull to bother with and the machines technically inferior to European F1.

Have these and a JazzBass. The Squire is now my travel with 🎸 A real shock to see the prices of the Freak Guitar Lab guitars in 🗾. If I wanted something "really new", a True Temperament Strandberg 7 string would be the direction I 🤔 zanshin-musical-instruments.com/en/pages/fre...

Zanshin Records has put up a very short clip of some of the Sound Messe Osaka 2025 products and events... and my head is in the corning of some of it 😂 youtu.be/KBQyXrLbPOo?...

BRITISH BAKE OFF is a must watch for me. Only ever had Baked Alaska once as a kid and memory of it is as being totally awesome. Just icecream over Spong, covered in meringue. But they showed it is not for a beginner like me!!

Reminded of the 2008 LIVE ACTION (NOT the crude anime version) DETROIT METAL CITY during the Freak Guitar Weekend May10th. Daughter brought this DVD back after a visit to her grandparents and said YOU MUST SEE THIS! 😂 #comics #music

SPAM/SCAM to our website, direct to a spam folder, has really sky rocketed in this year. Most now "AI powered SEO" crap. The occasional "I WANT TO DONATE $10 MILLION TO YOU scam makes for a pleasant change 😂 All at the same time Google Search has turned to kaka...

My lord & Master surveying this warm showery morning... #cats

Ura is amazing the moves he can do. Winning with a bizarre backwards flip throw. He is #1 for me even if he isn't in the running to win the competition. #sumo

Off to Tokyo for The Masamune Shirow Exhibit at the Setagaya Literary Museum Tuesday. Will have an overnight stay in Shinjuku and make my way back home Wednesday morning. Current forecast looks like Cloudy/showers there and hope it isn't. 😀

"Watch me pull a rabbit out of this hat. Nothing up my sleeves..." 😀 Did some 5 takes, but so many interruptions. 3 30fps mp3s from Android phone manually synced. No metronome was injured in the making of this video. #music #drums #guitar youtu.be/ZplQSHZCvd4

Originally wrote this article for our Blogger and this morning revised it and put on our website. Setting up a cheap 8 string multiscale guitar to be useable. #guitar www.artandtechnology.com.au/guitar/8stri...
