The idea of someone owning a "second home" is frankly ridiculous.

I often get asked about how I write and produce drums (again yesterday), which is odd to me as I generally regard drums as my weaker ability. I have considered doing a wee video on it, but people would be bitterly disappointed with how unsophisticated and disjointed my approach is.

Fwiw I am not even that convinced if Trump did anything (in very relatively terms) nefarious. But some people are definitely being protected. Possibly major political donors - incidentally, the US needs to seriously address the extent of those donors. It's undemocratic as fuck.

You would if you had owned a Fender Toronado. It was a pile of shit.

I briefly owned a Fender Toronado that was gold with a racing stripe. It was a bold statement.

I'm very curious about that gold and white headstock. It looks like the Liberace of guitars.

This is - so far - a very dreary game of football, exasperated by the empty stadium.

There's an awful lot of Trump voting farmers in the US right now asking for government subsidies. Its amazing how people become very socialist when it comes to freeing themselves from the tyranny of laissez-faire capitalism.

The 90s revival feels weird. I keep hearing kids listening to the same really awful dance music I was subject to in mates' cars in the early 00s. Not a new version of it. Literally the same songs. At least do your own thing eh?
