Hiya Tumblr 👋

I hope you still remember me! Sorry I haven't posted here in a while (not that you really care); I've been very busy. I'm afraid this is probably the end of the road with Tumblr and myself, partially due to business, but mainly because my phone has been running out of space at an alarming rate and I need to delete loads of shit 😂 (Yes I use mobile Tumblr shut up)

I've enjoyed being around here and meeting people so thought I'd say a larger, blanket goodbye to everyone I've spoken to here. Thanks a lot for the laughs guys!

Bye👋

(I may well come back on my computer every now and then so we'll see...)

Thanks so much for the tag @boilmynoodles! Sorry it took me so long!

Notes:

Front row - idk if it counts because it was a standing gig, but I stood at the front when I saw Kingfish Ingram live in Birmingham in '22

Hate band everyone loves - I absolutely hate Prince. Just can't stand him at all unfortunately. Also Elton John, but a tiny bit less so. I also struggle with post-Peter Green Fleetwood Mac (they're pretty cool sometimes though)

Play an instrument - Guitar, keyboards and a mountain dulcimer someone was throwing out 😂

Met an artist or band - I met 7-time world snooker champion turned ambient musician, Steve Davis at the bar after he supported Steve Hillage in '23. Also met Nick Harper after a show in Birmingham later that year.

I had an iPod Nano when I was younger. Idk if that counts because it's broken now :'(

Own concert memorabilia - Well sort of. I nicked the gig poster from the venue door after the Nick Harper gig...

Tagged - Bingo

I will list the ones I can say yes to:

Own a band tee.

Made a mixtape.

Have a crush on an artist.

Like rock and roll.

Own a vinyl record.

Met an artist or a band.

Been to a festival.

Own concert memorabilia.

Backstage at a show.

Own a CD.

Dedicated a song - does this have to be in the radio or what? Can it be anywhere? Tried to dedicate a song of the radio once but never got through. I did dedicate a song I sang at karaoke one night though.

Like disco music. *** Almost all of it

Like blues music. *** Almost all of it.

Like pop music. *** A lot of it, but not all of it.

Like country music. *** Some of it.

Own an iPod. *** (Yes - but I never could use it cause the battery was dead and when I went to replace it they said it would be cheaper to buy a new one but I think they were only talking about a cheaper one so I should have just gotten the new battery. I ended up doing neither. But I still have it somewhere, so I technically still own one, lol.)

Hate a band everyone loves. *** Hate is a strong word, lol. I very much dislike a band that a lot of people love/like, but not everyone in the universe loves/likes them, lol.

Like a band everyone hates. *** I like a band that a lot of people hate/dislike but not everyone in the world hates/dislikes them, lol.

Play a musical instrument. *** I mean, everyone can play the sticks or the maracas/shakers, so ... does that even count? I can play some mean sticks and shake some marakas real good.

Definite NO:

*** Kissed a rockstar - No. Not a star. Kissed a guy who played rock and roll? Yes. Kissed a guy who rocks? Yes.

Own a guitar pick from an artist.

Front row at a concert.

Travelled to another country to see an artist or band.

Have a tattoo to honor a band or artist.

I for one certainly am not!

Though I honestly can't tell if this is a real or not. I've followed him for a while and he seems legit...

Okay why the fuck does Anthony Philips follow me on Instagram?

Hiya Tumblr. Been fucking busy with everything in life for the last few weeks. I'll catch up on tag games etc in a little while. Until then, have a seriously underrated ABBA track

#abba #fucking love this song so much #pop #pop music #Spotify

Guy Fawkes night is so fucking insane. Catholic tries to revolt against the CofE monarchy, so in return they burn effigies of him on bonfires annually for the next 400 years as a celebration. Wtf. Absolutely insane.

The fireworks are cool though...

Did I mention the time I sat opposite Richard Barbieri in an Opthalmologist waiting room whilst reading an article on Porcupine tree in prog magazine?

This happened like half a year ago and I've been meaning to say this to my prog friends...
