The RSD25 list of releases is now online and its a twenty one pages long with a great range of release from some great artists, theres a few live albums in there as well which is good to see, hoping the quality of those is worth it. The thing not to forget is that all…
Dead Man’s Pistol, the Winchester based metal outfit storm their set at The Hobbit in Southampton. A deceptive venue that’s been in existence under its current guise since 1989. A pub upstairs, with stairs leading down to a smallish venue space then a tiered beer garden that would make any establishment envious, complete with outside…
It’s a great festival, they have got it right and i’m impressed every year by the organisation and lineup. I have heard horror stories and friends have had gripes but overall most experiences i’ve been party too are positive, and last year I could not fault it, apart from being so far from the main…
This morning on a record collectors Facebook group, a tiled image of a record collection appeared and it turned out to be a members record collection on Discogs. Here is the link I’ve been on Discogs for a few years, mainly to buy a few records I cannot find elsewhere, but recently started using it…

I use Ai in my day to day, not for music although that may come in next year for instrumentals, video as well when it improves but mainly idea and image generation at the moment. The music side does interest me, just for personal creation to see whats achievable. The last attempt is viewable here…
How did I not know there was an add to Spotify button on Tik Tok and this whole time I’ve been saving vids of the song – (A Tik Tok post) It is an interesting way to view music, maybe not to some but I am from the generation that relied on specific radio shows…
In the lull of gigs (there’s not a lot going on locally right now) and buying vinyl (I’m not allowed this close to Christmas in case its already bought and wrapped) I find myself down a regular rabbit hole on Spotify where I can while away way too much time discovering new songs and hopefully…
The dust has settled on Spotify Wrapped, the social posts have become “today’s news is tomorrow’s fish and chip wrappers”.
