  1. I have an album out of more odd guitar explorations on the venerable fals.ch label We Are The Music Makers | Volume One by Various enjoy! NB: the original videos that these edits are taken from are uploaded to the bandcamp in unedited form
  2. We Are The Music Makers | Volume One by Various
  3. Man, I loved Embassytown and The City and The City. So when I saw a gigantic one by him in a charity shop I grabbed it. I didn't realise Perdido Street Station was published 10+ years before those other books, when he was just starting out writing. He was clearly some kinda fantasy RPG type nerd back then. That book has the stink of single boy bedroom and steampunk all over it. If I start a book I will always finish it (only one exception to this in my life so far) but jfc that was a slog.
  4. Play some more live shows (broke my cherry in December) Get some more stuff out on some more known and diverse labels (have started that process already) edit: oh yeah and start and finish a zine I've had in my mind for years (I've bought it up with a label that's already released one thing of mine so now I've actually kinda sorta committed)
  5. Hello, I looked for my old thread but it apparently got archived and I can't bump it no mo. here is my most recent bandcamp 'trilogy' We Are The Music Makers | Volume One by VariousWe Are The Music Makers | Volume One by VariousWe Are The Music Makers | Volume One by Various Also very recently I have been moving into non-computer music territory I have an improvised guitar based album on Chocolate Monk that can be found here: http://chocolatemonk.co.uk/available.html and have been exploring that further with some things I've been doing while under house arrest
  6. Coims rule, I got one of their clay faces
  7. Yeah mang, ur situation sounds if anything shittier than mine, stay strong bruh Yeah I had the achilles tendon go before in 2021, needed 4 weeks off work then too, that was actually the last time I went off sick. I never go off sick. Which at least affords me leeway with work, they know I won't be off unless I really need to be. Yeah I try not to get stressed about this crap, tis a killer indeed. exactly re: last point. I have been making use of my houseboundness: There's actually a pretty well known label around these parts interested in putting some of this stuff out :^) something for the FWS thread if the talks work out
  8. that's all very well but when is Amber II out?
  9. I hear that. I've had ongoing tendonitis issues with my legs since the beginning of October (I've had sporadic flare ups for the last 10yrs). It was just my knees and I was still managing to get to work, sometimes with a stick, but it was manageable. Beginning of January my achilles tendon went and I was fucked. Pretty much relying on crutches to get to my bathroom and kitchen. Was stuck indoors for 12 days. So now I need to go to the doctor. I need pain meds, I need a note for work as I've had more than 7 days off, I also need a reevaluation. Some of my colleagues have mentioned arthritis. I moved here 2 summers back and I haven't yet registered with a doctor as I haven't needed to go to one. I call them and am brushed off and told I need to register online. I go online and do that. It's a very small practice so assume I will hear back in a day or two, despite the generic text about a maximum of 2 weeks. Nearly a week goes by so I call them. The woman I speak to seems confused as to why I wouldn't have heard back from them by now so she does some checks. "oh, I see your application in our inbox. It seems you aren't in our catchment area" This is strange to me as it's a 10min walk around the corner "you can still register with us, but you need to come in person and fill in a form here" I am now being told to come do the thing I was told I couldn't do the first time I called them. So I schlep myself to the Practice, on crutches, the 10min walk takes me 35mins. I arrive and explain my situation to the girl at reception. She asks for my postcode and puts it into the computer there. "that's weird, you are in our catchment area" ... but hey ho, I am there now. I fill in the paper form with all the information I already filled in on their website, which is presumably sitting in an inbox somewhere in the offices behind this receptionist. She then directs me to a janky touchscreen thing so I can give them a blood pressure reading.....and then answer all the questions I've answered both online and with pen and paper, but for a third time via touchscreen! I've been there half an hour now. I'm done with the touchscreen but there is a queue for reception, so I have to get in it, on my crutches. 10mins later I realise the girl I've been dealing with has gone and it's a different girl sitting there. She's like "yeah you're registered, that's it" "ok.....so......an appointment?" "oh we don't make appointments after X time. I'll text you a url and you follow that link tomorrow after 8am, or you can call after 8" I shlep myself back home on my crutches, which turns out to be one of the hardest things I have ever endured. I am low on energy and strength reserves now. My legs are screaming at me, and the temp has dropped to zero. The last 200 meters to my building I am having to stop and take a 5min rest for every 10 meters I travel. I get in around 6pm, pop a load of ibuprofen, prop my legs up and sleep until 3am In the morning I call the Practice. I am told about this URL once again by a woman who clearly doesn't want to talk on the phone to anyone. Fine I'll do it online, I fill in a triage form. They call me back a few hours later and offer me an appointment in 10 days time, this is the soonest available appointment. I ofc have no option but to take it. I'm still waiting to attend this appointment. I can actually walk unaided now. The bow on this dogshit cake would be for the doctor to dismiss my problem and refuse to give me a sign off sheet for work, as I appear to be fine. Anyway sorry WALL OF TEXT
  10. one of my fave genres of this is people getting pissed and salty over any even vaguely left-of-centre/experimental music. The 'my kid could do that' crowd
