There's definitely something there indicative of the wider enshittification of all the professional trades ie you can't do it properly because of surrounding ignorance. Possibly something to do with getting rid of all the over 50s after 2008 and a lack of any experienced in-house training afterwards

I used to do press passes on site with customers for a high volume printer. Only professional print buyers who knew what they were doing used it, it always raised my respect level. (possibly because it meant we didn't have to remake the plates for a typo they should have spotted and wait hours)

To me it looks like a standardised Decca design, with an offset black lens shape that nicely implies the motion of a revolving disc with grooves - with the artist info tagged on the edges.

They probably should have used 'stet' instead. Or maybe that's just used in proof corrections for printing.

One time I spent five minutes at lunch drawing a reverse centaur and it became one of my most retweeted pieces of art. I resented that so I deleted it but now it can be free again because not enough people follow me on here for it to go big

That's not even written backwards, never mind the opposite meaning. This was a scenario you just couldn't win.

Mine are Osiris and Isis, brother and sister - but not as incestuous. Ozzy and Issy.

Good god no! out of the 167 songs they've released I would listen to that about 134th. I've got it and I doubt I've played it in 30 years. There are just so many better tracks. It sounds just like your description would suggest though. That should never be someone's introduction to Rush. Never.

Mayor of Kidsgrove does sound like a euphemism for Head Teacher though, but hopefully not.

erscaff.bsky.social @erscaff.bsky.social · May 28

I enjoyed that. Maybe if the dodgy necklace wearing Brexit hardman had brayed more loudly then he could have become Mayor of Kidsgrove, like Jonathan Gullis just has (I had to look it up because your article didn't satisfy my need to hear about him struggling for all eternity).

It would seem you're also a cat maven.

Yes, these days it's rare to witness something so natural, pure and unadulterated by the media. #blessed

I don't know what you mean, it's totally authentic, it says so in the hashtag.

I've got a Deco too, it's a great stereo recording tool and on more than guitars; bass, drums, keys. Much more control over modulation with the Zelzah though. :)

This would be the simplest solution, TRS cable, no midi controller or pc required. Plug and play. Works great on my Zelzah

One of the greatest line reads of all time. Tim Curry for Command And Conquer, clearly it was a one and done and he could barely stop laughing at the ridiculousness of the line. Perfection
