I first played this at Gamescom in (I think) 1999. It’s the only time I’ve ever sworn in joy while playing a demo. Honestly, I’ve looked forward to playing Dead Static Drive again over the years more than Silk Song.

Immortality is a treat. As I've often said here, I love hosting parties where we play the game with folks who don't know about it, or who don't like video games. It's almost missionary work.

Such a great conversation about family gaming on BBC Radio Solent/Hampshire/Dorset/Berkshire/Oxford (all the BBCs). Not only a chance to share advice, but to hear from the presenter's experience of her son making real-world friends in online games.
Here's the clip: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZGa...

More noodling in Bitwig. Just a sample sketch although the dub delay all over the place has perhaps some legs.

Yes this really just noodling around and that kick is terrible. Still, it's just a simple idea to iterate around and work from. Man that kick really is bad.

Something new from me. Well I say new, I've been meddling with producing EDM again. 20 years ago I made breaky techno and played out in the UK, EU and a few times in the US. I quit one early morning at a festival in Belgium and downed tools. If you fancy a follow, I'm @LYFsounds on X and Insta.

Delighted to be doing a monthly column for this. Ralph's a thoroughly good egg, the site's great, and the idea of a video guy pivoting to text is just proper world-gone-mad stuff, love it. Have a look!

Wonderful achievement! I had to spend an hour in the shade before going for a swim in the sea after yesterday's park run. I can only imagine the heat along the Ridgeway yesterday afternoon.

I mean just look on the face of the guitarist during the first play though of that iconic guitar line at the start.

I found this version of Just Like heaven very sweet. It's from the BBC IPlayer so probably geo-restricted. shorturl.at/KHtvI
