Misanthropic itinerant musician. Will work for food. Or drink. Mostly drink, tbh. Stone-faced and emotionless, I will click on the cry-laugh emoji in response to your post.

She walks every day,
Through the streets of New Orleans,
She is innocent and sweet, From a family of means,
(Moon Over Bourbon Street, Sting, Dream Of The Blue Turtles, 1985)
The valves don't work without the heater, silly!

My musical hero has died. RIP Danny Thompson, the man who inspired me to pick up the double bass. Here he is with John Martyn who, it transpires, used to live up the next close to me in Glasgow. youtu.be/uvCU1U2rhB0?...

I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death my right to call you a raving xenophobic twat.
Hello Reform! UK Drill is a distinctly British musical genre, and should therefore be considered part of British culture. I could ask them to discuss, critically analyse, compare and contrast, but at the end of the day they will probably just take their shirts off and throw plastic lawn chairs.
I wonder if she's out on licence? (Sorry if that's not the correct term in England, I am in Scotland.) Can you criticise your conviction when you are out on licence?
Tom Leherer has died. He was one of the finest songwriters known to Harvard (from where he graduated at 18). There may be better songwriters out there, but they haven't been discarvard. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Evening Marcus, there are a lot of people in your comments who just don't get it. I get it. We both come from a country where socialism worked for a little while. It wasn't perfect, but it kind-of worked. Moral purity doesn't work, but caring about other people does. Wish we could get back to that.

The first planned migration of an entire country due to climate change is happening! Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation, is at risk of being submerged under rising sea level, so it has signed an agreement with Australia to allow 280 Tuvaluans to settle in Australia as permanent residents each year.

Every once in a while all the EDM on 6 Music gets too much for me, so I switch over to a 'serious' radio station. Then I remember how un-serious Radio 4 has become. I'll tolerate the techno.
No, I'd give them a proper beer, and if they handled that I might share them into the blunt. #GenX
Fair enough, not my style of bass anyway. And yes, my endpin is very high, I am 1.95m tall, and the nut is supposed to be level with my eyes.
Yeah, but it's a Music Man. If I could afford one, I'd be going "LOOK AT MY MUSIC MAN BASS!" too.
We can't walk the dogs in this heat, but it doesn't stop heat-seeking weapon Rosie from climbing on my lap. Stay hydrated, Bluesky! Gin and tonic counts, by the way.
Coffee makes me poop. This works.
Actually, yes. But don't tell anyone, OK?
Lovely to hear you on 6 today in for @cerysmatthews.bsky.social. Loved hearing Bert Weedon,I learned to play in a day from him, never looked back. 👍
No itsn't. Absence of music is, though.
Yeah, but the feathers... Oooohhh...
