I fucking love The Stone Roses.

Discovered whilst working at a Strawberries when I was 15, they were not adored or worshipped in North America in even remotely the way they were in Europe.

Essential for any Roses fan, this, even though the sound’s just ok.

BOTH mixes of “Sally Cinnamon”, the two other pre-fame songs from around ‘86/‘87 from when they were working with Martin Hannett, & 4 live versions of those songs (with two of Here It Comes).

The only good thing about that Strawberries job was all the free music and cool promo stuff I got to take home at such a young age.

And since I was so young, all the actual CASH I made was spent in the store on CDs and tapes.

Who needed money, man?
I needed fuckin tunes, bro. 😎

Also…
R.I.P. to Strawberries (LONG DEAD)
🪦

Listening to a BBC Sounds podcast, "The Rise and Fall of #Madchester", has got me back into the music of the #StoneRoses.

That in turn has got me back into playing #BassGuitar. Which has made me realise that my little fingers are far too puny to hold down fat bass strings.

So I'm trying to use my grip strength trainer with just my ring (for balance) and little fingers.

Anyway, I can recommend https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/p0ftp7pt?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile as a listen.
