Personally, I don't give a flying fVck does it really matter?

I can give you my divorce lawyers phone number...............

I thought Selecter were fun, Caught a smidge of UB40 - nice Billy Ocean - what on earth was the suit & hair about?????????? Dreads & jeans please........ And that was that..........

I saw an item (BBC news) the other day that stated that the majority of vynil is sold to hard-core fans, the implication being that the current 'boom' is not going to last (?)........ I've cut my cd's down to around 500, still buy the odd one........I've got a proper dj deck set up, so I hadn't noticed the retail demise of the cd player - besides I use a pc, which will always play the medium (along with YouTube). Being old & crumbly I distrust the cloud stuff - I hate being dependant on third parties.

Cheap car floor mats are good dog sh*t preventers...........

Nice to watch a pro in action..............

Matamp everytime - but - they build to order & are very busy - check out their website........

You could do worse.............(waits for howls of hate)

So back in the late 70s I had bills to pay, and started doing function stuff. (hated it, but needs must). I get a lead to a large pile in Oxford that wanted someone to handle all their function disco work..........sorted (?) I am informed that the first gig is a birthday bash for some Scottish country music mob - I inform the venue that we don't carry that sh*t (sorry, music) but will be happy to play what the organisers bring. Come the night, the hotel hasn't said a word, & I'm faced with a barrage of insults......... ........end of those gigs then..............

One good thing about being in a Free cover band- you only got one number to learn? (Puts on coat, tin hat & exits, stage left)

I've just managed to turn down a plea from a local lady who was really keen that I come out of retirement (not happening) and play 'some reggae' for her wedding......... I suspect that she means dubstep/Marley/Althea & Donna (at a push) - not Lee Perry/I Roy/Bunny Wailer........... (sigh.......)

We, of course, are the generation that spawned Melting Pot, Young Gifted & Black, The Times They are a'Changin', Eve of Destruction & more latterly I'm too sexy for my gerbil............but, whatever.............

Irony? (I hope.......)

I'll stick with my (now antique?) pair of BF Dubsters.........

Very Matamp - send a pic to Jeff Lewis?

I usually colour code my low-end leads with yellow tape at each end - if ain't got tape, it ain't bass............

Ampstack shared their album. 14 March at 17:44 · Knob tip: If you are one of those people that always runs same settings on your amp, take the knobs off and put them all on straight up or in highest position when on your favoured settings, then it is easy to reset if you have to lend an amp at a gig or whatever.

I use plastic cable drums from my local hardware shop for speaker leads (all of mine are 10m, so no confusion)- the drums were originally full of chain, which they sell pretty fast - & I get 'em free (I put something in the charity box).

I'm a sound system - about 15k+ without the music (prob over 4/5k) - not bad for someone who don't work no more............

Worth a nose around the neighbourhood to see if you have any new industry locally - their kit could be causing problems - I had this with EMI in hayes a few years ago.............

Oh it was you in my shop at the weekend............?

"When I watch clips from Glastonbury it always looks rainy. As a matter of fact from what I see all your outdoor festivals are rainy." .....It does rain (a bit) in the UK............

...........And thus was born Glastonbury.....................
