Musicians! To celebrate my 13th year(!) as a full-time mastering engineer I threw together this playlist of some of the stuff I've mastered. Here's to the next 13 years - I'm way cheaper than Abbey Road but better at mastering. Hit me up

I’ve never listened to The Rest Is History but I just found out the hosts are called Tom and Dominic, which are my first and middle names. This freaks me out more than it should

For my Elvis book I met the Finnish academic who performed and recorded Elvis songs translated into both Latin and Sumerian.
"Of course, they did not have blue suede shoes in Sumeria," he told me, "so I had to translate the song as 'on my sandals of sky blue leather, please do not stand".

Old lad I’m friendly with on the street (would guess late 60s) hurt his leg/ankle stumbling down the stairs a couple of weeks ago; every time I see him I beg him to go see a doctor about it: it’s swollen as fuck, looks like an elephant’s leg and he is walking at about 20% his usual pace

Somehow got to the age of 41 having read very little Ballard (Cocaine Nights for some reason), but I just finished High Rise. That’s an insane fucking book; the last 30 pages are such an amazing climax

Given the choice to go back in time and kill Baby Hitler, I would instead choose to kill the baby who would go on to invent the term ‘fandom’

Forgot to mention Jon Fosse's A Shining here, which was also good but not as good as the other three
Read some really great novellas recently. Not sure which of these was my favourite

Back in 1998, Actua Soccer 3 made progressive moves by featuring Arsenal Ladies as an unlockable team. ♀️
However, other, less progressive teams also featured.

Randomly got sent a load of backdated Forward Russia royalties for continental radio this morning. Over a grand. I could get used to this.

The James Bond franchise faces a big problem: me, the viewer, has been shot at the start of the movie through the barrel of my gun, and I'm dripping blood over my own eye balls (they're in the gun)

As a bald man who has been bald for a very long time, it's bizarre to see how much advertising/anxiety exists around baldness for men in their 20s/30s today. You can waste years of time, energy and money trying to fight it, or just decide not to give a fuck!

There’s a good chance the British Prime Minister’s main adviser on AI is an OpenAI shareholder - but the government refuses to say whether she is.

The other day my son said 'I was thinking earlier, I've lived through some really unique days', thinking he was going to say COVID or something.
When pressed as to what he meant, he said '2/2/22'
