Had a few Red-line Quakers and Barred Sallows but never yet had a Merv! Best in the past week was Feathered Thorn

Wow that even beats the chocolate life-size model of Cher seen in Brussels several years ago!

Thanks for this - never even noticed the rubber caps!

Willie G @willieg.bsky.social · 4d

The tracking on mine is terrible too - do you know how to calibrate it? I don't!

I have even ended up using Melodyne on recorded tracks !

I remember clearly where I was when I first heard Are Friends Electric - it was on my father-in-law's boat on the river Lark in Cambridgeshire!

I've been scanning the faces of all these unmemorable bands in anticipation of the new series of Buzzcocks and the 'where are they now' bit

Willie G @willieg.bsky.social · 13d

It is still #bandcampfriday and really I feel I should be announcing my new album 'The Life of a Synthboy' - but instead a reminder of my latest release b.link/p@tience - and a couple of reviews. . .

That Scanner track is amazing! I would try it with my staircase but it might sound a bit wooden!
