Studio assistant? Wrong, this is a cat, it’s a producer in its own mind, you’re just the help. With that in mind, Trevor as in Horn.

The Poacher - Ronnie Lane

A friend of mine asked if I’d be interested in going to see SW at the RAH on the To The Bone tour. I was aware of him, but not to any great degree. Oddly, I decided not to check out the album or his other work and went to the gig cold. It was great and although I sometimes wish I’d listened to his stuff at bit first, I still think it was a good move. To The Bone is one of my favourite albums, the dynamics on tracks like Pariah and Refuge make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I have the DVD of that run of gigs (Home Invasion) and the documentary of the making of TTB is very interesting (SW is very intense). As to his remixes, I’ve listen to bits, but I’m not sure of the point, as I don’t hear a lot of difference (maybe I gave up too soon). I think, with his various works, is that it’s a case of that it’s not all gold and cherry picking is the way forward.

That Smell - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Thunder & Lightning - Lizzy

Let It Snow, Let It Snow - Dean Martin

Not played the Fender, but own the 1st release of the HB. Replace the loom and pickups and I can’t see the Fender coming close. The build on the HB is very good. I plan to drop a set of EMG GZRs in mine at some juncture.

I wonder if a corn plaster might work, what with them having a hole in the middle. Might not be small enough though. Another thought is a small, Compeed blister plaster as they are very cushioned and very discreet.

The Hole in the Ground - Bernard Cribbins

Base price + delivery charge + import duty & VAT?

Down in the Tube Station at Midnight - The Jam

Venus & Mars - Wings

Jack & Diane - John Mellancamp

Not terrible, but a couple of centimetres at least, coupled with high winds, with more to come. It’s not necessarily the conditions, rather other road users, with a lack of respect for the conditions. Stay home, keep warm, have another JD.

Probably just as well as the journey might have been, let’s say interesting.

Go with songs you like to listen to as a starting point, probably avoiding those with what are considered advanced/busy bass lines, at least to start with.

Roller Coaster Of Love - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Sadness The Seat Sad Manners Fug Boy Three

Motordead Never got going.

Suck My Kiss - RHCP

Oh, go on, add me in and I’ll actually try to fail, which probably means I’ll have another gear-less year.

You’re OK with Pino, he has used his quite extensively with his recent collaboration with Blake Mills.

In To The Valet - The Skids
