Shocked to discover that Genesis P-Orridge of Throbbing Gristle would have been known as Neil Megson by his mum.

*** Pedantic bustard alert *** The Capt started life as Don Vliet and added the Van later Andy (aka Clint Thrust)

Cheers, I think I'm heading down the Zoom route

Thanks both

Thanks for all the suggestions folks 👍

At the moment we record rehearsals using just a tablet with its in-built mic and the results aren't great, you'll be surprised to hear. What would you recommend to improve this? A usb mic looks the cheapest option, or go for a dedicated recorder? Thanks, Andy

James at Nottingham Theatre Royal is the only gig I've ever left early. The realisation that I could just leave if I was bored was a eureka moment. It may have had something to do with it being the first gig for which I'd had to (irony alert) sit down rather than standing, which probably spoiled the atmosphere for me. Up until then I'd been a big fan.

Yep, sorry 'bout that. I have a five string* if that's any good? *okay, it's a banjo

Thanks Mods, I had a quick look but obviously not enough (y)

Not sure I need 24 frets to be honest... It would complement my collection though.

New models to celebrate 90 years. Oh my, the bass... https://www.instagram.com/p/CKRm2vbsqbm/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet

Enjoyed that. Thanks for posting it up

I tore the tendon of the ring finger of my fretting hand playing rugby many years ago, and have a cracking scar for my troubles. The finger in question got back about 80% of its movement and works well enough. My one piece of advice would be to work through all the physio you're prescribed and don't shirk it. It'll be worth it in the long run

Something to fire up the crowd

My funeral song

In no particular order: Stingray 4H in honeyburst Jack Casady in wine red Rickenbacker 4005 in fireglo

Another vote for Beefheart: people seem to struggle with Trout Mask Replica in particular. On the jazz front: Ornette Coleman

Mozart's Requiem Mass on the way in. Herb Alpert - Spanish Flea on the way out

Of course it's special: it's on a Rickenbacker But otherwise, yeah, it's just black really

As part of a middle aged couple with a food obsession, a dog and no children it's almost as though her show was designed explicitly for me. Just need to get the moho for the full set

Thanks Andy

Thanks it doesn't get a lot of use these days as the Tele much better fits a Country sound. I don't think I'll ever part with it though. I toyed with a 360/12 when I got it: always been a big Byrds fan. AC30 sounds like the perfect partner for it. Still tempted by a 4001

Can anyone spot the general colour theme?

Yes, I was thinking particularly about the hype that Screamadelica attracted. Great album but not remotely the work of genius it's often portrayed as imho.
