Good morning BlueSkyers.
Looking a quieter Monday morning than usual. Looks like a lot of people not travelling. Train station and roads empty. Makes for a far more pleasant commute.

Avatar Fire & Ash in full Imax 3D.
A case of style over substance with these movies. I'm not a fan but the lad loves them
Overlong (they could cut 30 mins easy) & a pretty repetitive story line. But Imax 3D is pretty impressive. 3D's come a long way from the days of red & blue paper glasses

AI music is now flooding streaming services. It's getting on my fucking tits. I have no time for it. My time is given to those bands & artists that are real, that work hard to build a fanbase, that tour & release real music.
Not some stiff in a studio somewhere pumping out generic rubbish. #FuckAI

Well that was a very wet & windy one for last night's cycle commute home. Pretty grim.
In contrast to today which is predicted to be blue skies and sun.

There.. I've said it..
I really like the new track 'Atlas' from Guns N' Roses.
The other released track 'Nuthin' ain't bad either.
Unapologetic me.

It's a much nicer day today here on the Med. Yesterday's cold, rain, and wind was one of those pretty grim days for a cycle commute. Character building as the saying goes.

Today's listening will mainly be Europe.
Don't be fooled into thinking they are lightweight.
Check out GTO from the bands last album Walk The Earth from 2017. It's damn heavy & John Norum's guitar solo absolutely rips, you can hear the guitar strings melting.

Urne are probably the best Metal band the UK has produced in years. So looking forward to the new album.

With a song about hope, the human spirit, and a fire that never goes out, what better time to release it than Bonfire night!
Listen to this loud, and keep the spirit alive!! Watch the full video in the link in our bio
