Went to see #BillyGibbons at the #O2ShepherdsBush last night. Hell of a show. The man is a genius. Backing band were as tight as any I have seen.

New Series starting on Paramount on the 19th of this month, and I cannot wait. https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1613181390883024896/vid/1080x1080/MQViknaTyDyJl5R9.mp4?tag=16
The Chemistry of Death by Simon Beckett has one of the best openings of a crime book ever, IMHO.

The #brain is an amazing organ. Never ceases to amaze me how quickly a forgotten skill can be 're-learned' after a period of time. One of the first songs I learnt all the way through when meddling with #Bass was https://youtu.be/MlQunle406U . I felt like a god afterwards, massive sense of achievement. Haven't played it for about 3, maybe 4 years, thought I would revisit it, and within half an hour had it back under my fingers. #Bass #Guitar #Music #Learning #FutureIslands

Another release that almost got lost in the Christmas hustle is this fine slice of ambient electronic altruism from Rhombus Index on See Blue Audio. Combining new material & thoughtful third party remixes of older output, it's a classic sounding futuristic fog that drifts pleasantly through the speakers encouraging utopian daydreaming as it goes.

Finished 'The Satsuma Complex' by #BobMortimer last night. An enjoyable read once I got past the doubts about the surreal conversation style of the main character. Nice plot, with some strange twists and some very funny set pieces, with some pathos to counter them. Can easily see this being adapted for television as a limited series.
An excellent first effort.
