"Nige? Oh, he's that weird kid who likes music more than sport or super heroes"

I'm a composer and recording artist and... mostly an alright kinda geeza 😊 Primary 'playing' instrument is guitar (since a previous century) but I play enough keys, drums and bass to write for them.

Links to my 'stuff of wonder' in the jolly old 'About' tab. Please feel free to rummage with gusto. I don't like genres so will leave that right there.

I'm a he, him ... so far.

I have some resources to distribute in my community, but I'm not very well connected here, so I'm not sure where to start.

So I stopped by the library and had a quick chat with the librarian, who was amazingly helpful!

This is just a librarian appreciation post. All hail librarians!

Great Britain implies the existence of Mediocre Britain.

It is quite sobering to occasionally recall that the bastard nazis were last 'beaten' a mere 13 years before I was born.

So if looking back from today that would be in 2012. Doesn't seem that long ago.

END OF 10

"Support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025.

Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer.

But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

If you bought your computer after 2010, there's most likely no reason to throw it out. By just installing an up-to-date GNU/Linux operating system you can keep using it for years to come.

Installing an OS may sound difficult, but you don't have to go it alone! With any luck, there are people in your area ready to help!"

So, I’ve pretty much switched from Microsoft Office to @libreoffice. Cost was definitely a factor, as well as lack of AI/Copilot BS.

Oh, and everything I threw at it worked flawlessly. That’s the main reason.

Insatiable

Serialising the album Status by @meljoann:

Track 10

“This is my self-indulgent jazz-nerd funk-fest. It’s got time signature changes. It’s got guitar and bass jams. It’s got this one repeating phrase that is so undulating it’s difficult to memorise. I live for geeky challenges like this.

The lyrics might be too sexy?”

Quote by Meljoann in an article for The Thin Air

Lyrics

can you keep it up?
slow?
I’m insatiable

Feel the soft fur, taste the sour
Lick the bottom of the jar
Mix the coconuts, the flour
I got that sound you like

Got the bass that keeps us sane
Grasping all that candy cane
I know that stroke you like
I know that stroke you like

can you keep it up?
slow?
I’m insatiable

Guess you’re waiting for my lines
I deliver, don’t ask why
Hot and heavy, every time

I want the taste of your love
The beat of your heart
The feel of your art
The scent of you
The way you look when you’re…

can you keep it up?
slow?
I’m insatiable
