plus room acoustics and more gear. The things that are already my problem in one room, don't need it in two!

Have been avoiding buying a turntable, because I know where it would lead me :) But also, some of my favourite artists are releasing vinyl and it would be lovely to have some of it.

I have been thinking about this a lot. Through various moves and life events I have almost none of my old CDs and DVDs anymore and just use streaming services, but things disappear from those services.
I'd love to "own" the things again, but the starting again seems overwhelming.

They didn't ask if you were a bottom though.

Yes the Murphy Labs thing is wild in general. And of course those things will never properly get played.

Is factory reclicing worth more for resale or something?

DamianM @damianm.com · 10d

I never got the appeal of relic guitars either, each to their own I guess.

This guy food courts!

Now I am listening to PUSA, can't even mention one of their lyrics without it getting stuck in my head for hours.

DamianM @damianm.com · 12d

Yep, that checks out. Sydney food courts have so many hidden gems.

God that looks good, I've never had good laksa in QLD, I've stopped even trying.

If Bluesky fails I'm moving to the country, going to eat a lot of peaches.

Probably fewer dickheads with jetskis too, another thing that people have ruined!

DamianM @damianm.com · 12d

Didn't take it that way at all :)

But yes, it's lovely out there, so we decided to find a way to explore it.

We have a bunch of theory course to do this week and then doing the practical course and test on the weekend.

We live on the water, so why not. We were looking at various portable / inflatable things which would have been money sinks and then decided why not just get a license and do day hires of proper boats.

It was lovely.

DamianM @damianm.com · 13d

Long weekend here. Rode my bike a few times, went for a swim, signed up to get a boat license, cooked yummy food, planted herbs, hung some pictures, fixed my coffee machine, played some music, did some yoga, at pancakes. Did not get involved in social media navelgazing and bluesky drama. ✅
