I've been given a Chromebook and want to use it for music recording. Has anyone got suggestions as to what DAW and audio interface would be good?

If you get the chance, go to the David Hockney: Bigger & Closer (Not smaller & further away) exhibition at the Lightoom in Lewis Cubitt Square. You won't regret it.

Is anyone else so critical of music they do that they endlessly re-record and/ or re-mix it? I mean, does Peter Buck listen to Document and think "I wish I had done the guitar parts on King of Birds better"? (That's not to say there's anything wrong with the guitar parts on King of Birds, mind.)

I've been cleaning cat shit of a litter tray, and the scoop we used for taking cat shit out of the litter tray. How's your day going?

The one on the left will be set-up when I find my Allen keys, the one on the right needs new strings. #guitar
