I really enjoy rehearsal. Group of like minded people in a room playing music. What's not to like? My band mates are good people, we get on well, take the fosters, jam around some punk riffs to warm up and have fun with it. You can learn the parts. individually at home but you need to practice together to get used to each others playing and get your sound working together and get things wrong without an audience.

Cap City - Wisdom in Chains

Dirt - Alice In Chains Too slow

Today I've listened to a lot of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Brilliant dirty rock and roll with the dirtiest sounding hollow body bass. They're also an incredible live band. No jumping around the stage, no fancy stage design, no talking to the audience, no gimmicks. They just come on stage, plug in and smash out an hour and a half of non stop music that sounds just vaguely like the album version.

I was a teenage hand model - Queens Of The Stone Age

Killing Time - (HED) PE

There's one of them trying to get me to join his band. He's seriously full on anti vax and thinks just about everything is a conspiracy. I told him I've just started a job at Astrazenica so don't have time for a band with all the illuminati meetings after work. He didn't reply to that message, I'm not sure if he realised I'm taking the fosters.

Fishbelly 86 Onions - All Them Witches

Weird (shell) Fishes - Radiohead

Roots Rock Reggae - Bob Marley

Eternal Flame - Atomic Kitten The only version I listen to these days

You play gigs at Tesco? Our local tesco sometimes has a smelly hippy with a flute playing outside but I don't think they pay her.

Well there's another cost to include in your bill. List it as admin charges. It wouldn't just be accepted in any other industry without charging to cover the additional costs and labour.

Sticking in my eye - NOFX

Seems like it really wouldn't be worth the effort for a one off gig. I'd want to add on a charge for a few hours labour to go through all that. It's extra work that you have to do so surely it's only reasonable that they pay for your time.

I'm Scum - Idles

How are deliveries with Thomann at the moment? I wanted to buy local but the HB guitars just seem to be unbeatable for the price.

Just listening to the new single by Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs. Who'd have thought a disco classic would make a good doom song?

Black holes sun - Soundgarden

It seems my eyesight has let me down there. I was sure the label said 2 / 4 ohms. I just put my glasses on and it actually says 4 / 8 ohms.

It can also be switched to 2 Ohms.

What's the frequency Kenneth - REM

F**kin up - Neil Young

I hate myself and I want to die - Nirvana This one needs to be followed with something more positive I think.

I'm using an Orange Terror head which has two 4 ohm speaker outputs and at the moment I'm using a single Orange 4x10 8 ohm cab. I'd like to add a 1x15 cab for some extra bottom end. Would the 1x15 have to be 8 ohm as well or will 4 ohm be OK? Does it matter whether it's an Orange cab?
