Asking for a friend …

I ended up “officially” publishing my first track the other day. I’ve recorded and uploaded stuff in the past but this is the first time I actually said what the hell lets try and get it onto Spotify (and all the other platforms)

The song is called Erasing Grace … and I’ve got limitations in that I can’t really play anything (even if I mess about with things).

I know it’s not for everybody as well … it’s probably a bit of a depressing track but such was my state of mind when I wrote it and recorded it shortly after.

I’m also aware I won’t make anything with this but it wasn’t why I published it. I was in the throes of a midlife crisis (again) on my birthday the other day

Self promotion not allowed? I won’t be offended if the post gets nuked

Ah I missed that completely thought it was an avatar or something

So no doubt you’ve seen the same but I’m just mentioning it here.

The auto-imported posts that don’t contain the original image they were displaying for one reason or another. I’m lost as to the content (I see lots of replies). Then I’ve to click 3 dots to get to show original message which then means I’m on another website

I notice german in the mix of imported posts is it possible to exclude languages other than Irish / English? Assuming of course that’s the way you want to go with it

Good to see you here Town Hall Theatre (Joking aside if anyone finds the THT Mastodon feed useful or would like to see changes just let me know)

Anyone else listen to A State of Trance?

I used pretty have it on repeat weekly a couple of years ago … I tend to dip in and out of it now.

OSX for about 17 years now. I don’t game much so that’s rarely an issue for me.

After that it’s various flavours of linux installed on the servers I’m using.

Grew up with a mix of ABBA / The Beatles / Don Williams and lots of classical music. Hit grunge around 95 … before that was just listening to whatever was on the radio I guess.

I saw various things about Hogan and his comments … and saw various photos as well which were kinda shocking but … par for the course these days with celebrities I guess. As I never really followed him that much he was moer the WWF guy!

At first I’ve got to admit I was confused … what on earth were all these Coldplay memes about.

Then I got it … then I laughed along with the rest of the people.

Now I’m seeing personal photos being shared of the HR woman (I’d mention her name except I don’t even know it) and her husband and kids before the concert and I can’t help but think … these aren’t public figures and their lives are being dissected by random strangers on the internet.

Bloody hell we all do weird crap at times and while an affair is an awful thing it definitely doesn’t need to be public knowledge for the world to read about does it? Does their affair impact their ability to do their job (OK maybe that does but then it should be an internal thing within the company … I’ve no idea what is even allowed in the work place anymore … I think there’s another meme about that for another day)

I’m so thankful I grew up without camera phones / video phones and if people wanted drunk photos of you they had to take the photo … go get it processed and spend money on the whole thing … which probably meant … nope not doing it!

So Ozzy was first …
Hulk Hogan yesterday …

Do these things always come in threes?

They are kinda hitting hard which is weird … I’ve never been a fan of Black Sabbath … though I spent some of yesterday listening and wow I never really realised how good his voice was back in the day.

I also never got into the whole WWF or whatever it was / is called now WWE?

However both figures were and are pretty iconic … when two pass at the same time it just feels like it hits hard

Politics / Religion / Gambling … all things that should be avoided in polite company In an ideal world there would never be any issues but … is this an ideal world?

What I had playing in Spotify earlier was Tom Petty … Free Fallin … Why? because I’m trying to learn it on the piano which is new to me. I won’t like to Piano with Nate and his tutorial on it so here’s the Original
