I bought some snazzy Sharpie pens in gold, silver and bronze to write stuff on black backgrounds, cos I once ordered myself up a box of business cards which are just totally black with my name and phone number on, in tiny white letters (script, of course, practically unreadable) down the bottom right hand corner
twat twat twat
I'm helping a mate to run his stall at a rally soon, and I thought I should probably have some biz cards to hand out when I am schmoozin' his customers.
So I am sat here writing "Art Director" ( yeah, yeah ) and my frickin Instagram handle on the cards with snazzy Sharpie colours. ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

A new paddock stand.
I'd given my old one away and just wanted a cheap one for occasional use. I spotted one of the typical Chinese drop shippers on eBay had cocked up their listing and were selling a pair for the same price as everyone else was doing one.
What's this? There's only one turned up today?! Oh noes! I've politely asked the seller to dispatch my missing stand... let the games begin ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

I'd love one of those! There's something about tactile controls vs. the likes of garage band. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Garageband is pretty formidable for a freebie...then again Reaper and a wodge of free plugins would also knock the socks off the OP-1...as would all workstation synths like the Fantom et al.
It's a different way of 'working' for sure. ____________________ Diabolical homemade music Bandcamp and Soundcloud

I'm warming to the psychologists' view: it's crucial to get the initial inspiration written down as fast as possible, worry about spelling and grammar in a 2nd pass. They were talking about book writing but I think it applies to most creative endeavours ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

OT and far too much waffle.
I have a friend that approaches song writing in a different way to me. He grinds out a song over a period of time....sometimes weeks. Playing a phrase or section over and over until a new line erupts forth.
He once described it as an almost painful experience that only gave total satisfaction once the song was complete.
It'd be naïve to think that there's a one-way approach yet some psychologists are of the mindset to use broad brushstrokes.
Now, if you're in a rut or procrastinating then just putting pencil to paper and writing may break that barrier. Or maybe putting everything away and doing summat different could be the thing.
The creative process sure is wonderful and varied as is the actual act of recording. Playing live is another thing altogether...The Dr Jekyll or Mr Hyde thing is pretty common eh.
The All-in-one-box machines (I have a few) are just plain fun to use even if the results aren't always used on a track for public consumption.
The OP-1 is fun,,,,yell into the in-built microphone...or plug in a guitar or your phone and with minimal tweaking you have something original, something that's your own thing.
To complete a full song on it will require a modicum of effort and planning.
Us of a certain age are reminded of the blessings and curse that the Fostex 4 tracks offered us....and have you seen the price of those things now. My Yamaha MT4X could be worth the price of a holiday soon.Which is where I'll be using the OP-1...and in the frontroom...or at a jam session...or maybe on my next tune....or gigs if someone will book me. ____________________ Diabolical homemade music Bandcamp and Soundcloud

So, not actually me doing the buying but the missus said that she wants to make the lounge look like British pub and that she'd ordered a few things....
When I went out to work this morning I was told that today was delivery day for a 'few things'...
When I arrived home there was a fair amount of cardboard packaging strewn about the carport and I remembered that stuff was arriving today...
...Now I'm thinking something along the lines of a bar, ie a bartop type arrangement with a fridge and beer taps, etc, you get my drift?...
But no, I walk in the lounge tonight and it looks like Austin Powers moved in.
A 'few things' consisted of a small two person Chesterfield style sofa... in blue... with glass crystal baubles for buttons... and the front of the arms studded with chrome studs ( ) and a large Union Jack rug.
What with the previous owners penchant for dark oak panelling and our nice three seater leather sofa complimenting the look, I hit the real fridge with the real beer and had a cool one at the kitchen table... ____________________ Make mine a Corona. |

A 6 digit private reg number for my next two wheeled purchase.
I've had my eye on that particular number for literally years now and wanted to bag it while it was still there.
It can sit on the certificate until I'm ready to transfer it to something. It's a 1989 G prefix number so it can go
on pretty much any vehicle I'm ever likely to own. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

A couple of old Stanley planes - a number 5 and a number 6. 32 of your finest UK ponds each from eBay
A bit of light restoration (surface rust removal, iron reprofiling and sole flattening) and they'll be good to go. |

Now I've been accused of being a hipster do you think the OP-1 synth would fit in the pocket?
I had my uncle's old Barbour oiled jacket...it was from the 70s and was bloody freezing on the bike.
Binned it when I fell off and tore a hole in it.
Possibly worth more than a new one. ____________________ Diabolical homemade music Bandcamp and Soundcloud
