    What was I thinking with the last episode - find out here!

    Also a quote from Death Comes to St Ives by Jo Silva and Johnny Greenwood from Radiohead.

    About being human and celebrating imperfection!

  • 20 Years in an Alien Forest

    And we’re back with no gap! I have no idea what this sounds like, I have no time to listen or check, just a note that says 20 years in an alien foresst, so I guess that’s the title.

    Does it work? Does it fit? No idea. Maybe I’m getting closer to becoming a certified failure…

    A quick reflection on getting to episode 90 and a commitment to the next few episodes - which might be after a bit of a break or not, I won’t know until the end of Monday probably!

  • Stop leaving and you will arrive...

    …do your job, then let go.

    I’m feeling quite Taoist today. This episode has that sort of turning tension, starting Yang (with a bit of Yin) because of movement and drums and noise, becoming Yin (with a bit of yang) as we change state.

    We are leaving, but then arrive, realising we always were here anyway.

  • The Silence of Tiny Islands

    I’ve just realised that it says “be clear and concise. Show notes help potential listeners in finding the episode” at the top of the box where I’m typing this.

    So I’ve been doing it wrong all along! How marvellous, I do enjoy being wrong, making mistakes and so on. Bring on the happy accidents!

    Weekly behind the scenes chat. My thoughts on Chase Bliss Onward (it’s good but doesn’t suit me I think), other pedals I like and should I learn to build my own?

    Mirlo can now be used as a self-hosted instance - how do I encourage that? Set up my own label?

    And finally, I might have an enforced break coming up so I recorded a couple of spare episodes in advance.
