Almost four years to the day since I bought this. I reckon on average I play it once a week.

They, the banks, create the money, and then charge you interest on it.

I'm gradually becoming so furious about this, that I'd actually be grateful if someone can tell me why it's wrong!

Last night I was telling (a slightly disbelieving) @notquitelight.bsky.social about how banks create the money for mortgages, and then by sheer coincidence, @domconlon.bsky.social mentioned this piece to me, this morning:

I loved Matthew Seligman! I was so chuffed that he got to play with Bowie at Live Aid.

Ah! I can see that would see you off :-)

That period was a great one for bassists, though, wasn’t it? (Even excluding Mick Karn and Pino Palladino 🙂)

I can see that; it was a big leap musically from band to solo career.

Yes, 100%.

Even his time in Japan is underrated, imo. To go from 'Adolescent Sex' to 'Tin Drum' in four years is mind-blowing.

I was going to wait until 10:01 on 01/10 but frankly I'm too excited (and not that excited by numerology).

SEA OTTERS, the 2nd LP by my almost-techno side The Bionics, is out now. Please enjoy and repost to support tiny artists, thank you very much x
