Read A History of What Comes Next (2021) by Sylvain Neuvel. Being the author of Sleeping Giants and it's two sequels - I knew what I was getting into. Dialogue heavy, fast reading science fiction. This book is the start of another trilogy. Very similar to his previous efforts, except for taking...

Watched the first season of House of the Dragon (2022) on HBO Max. Welcome to the new season of Netflix' The Crown. We added some fantasy elements, weird diseases, a bit of gore and seasoned it all with a bit of incest. - HBO Where Game of Thrones was relatively focused in time, this series...

Chez Kane - "Children of Tomorrow Gone" off her new album Powerzone, out last Friday. Written, produced, engineered and performed by Crazy Lixx-vocalist/bandleader Danny with Chez on vocals.   Possibly my favourite song of 2022. I'm totally down for retro 80's music and Chez Kane really fills...

Watched The Time Traveler's Wife (2022) on HBO. Started watching expecting it to be a 6 episode mini series. Last episode we realised it wasn't, and that a season 2 was planned and canceled. In the end, I felt I was pretty satisfied with the 6 episodes we were given. Some loose ends, but all...

Not really a weird choice though. It was a weird thing to want to change it in the first place.

Watched Rings of Power season 1. Expertly crafted narrative, sublime casting and beautiful visuals. I expected something like Disney's Star Wars films or series, instead I got something that is equal or in a few bits even surpassing Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies. Been on board since...

No way, VII is the best!

The MXR Super Badass is an AIB type of pedal and would be better suited to go straight into a clean channel. It's a Marshall Guv'nor clone I believe. Old style distortion pedals like the Boss DS-1 / MXR Dist+ would preferably go on a channel just breaking up a bit... Otherwise, for boosting an...

Watched House of the Dragon episode 7. Jarring time jumps, recasts and rushed plot. This series is like Game of Thrones, just way worse. Unlike GoT which had a bigger threat looming, this is just fantasy political drama/soap opera all the way through without anyone to root for. Come get your...

Watched Rings of Power episode 7 "The Eye". Enjoying this immensely. The big plot is moving slowly (good) and there are a lot of questions, but it's the little things like the dialogue feeling like it could have come directly from Tolkien - poetic, almost - as well as tremendous acting from the...

You can do the same with the Boss NS-2... It's got a send/return. Put the noisy pedals in there and your tone will be unaffected.

Definitely the V... Classic model. That is an ugly Explorer. I've got so many guitars there's literally zero out there I'd like to get. Nothing beats a Strat for me, and I've got enough Strats.

Rings of Power is getting more things right with the languages than Peter Jackson's movies. Change my mind.

Watched Rings of Power episode 2 & 3. Still very happy with the series. Very much looking forward to the rest of it, and find the whole social media circus around it hilarious at this point.

Watched Rings of Power S1E1. I have neither hated the idea of Amazon doing this series or had particularly high hopes - mostly it's been a bit of curiousity towards what they would do with it. I liked the first episode a lot. For all the talk about this feeling like some generic fantasy...

Don't know why I asked really. 500k should make it brighter. Funny thing is, Seymour Duncan's single sized humbuckers are voiced for 250k. (So if you put a regular humbucker into a Strat you should change to 500k volume pot but with the single coiled sized ones you shouldn't.)

Did you change the pots? Or was it 500k stock?

Started a new Minecraft world a couple of weeks ago. First time playing since 1.17 so the game has changed a bit (new world generation, way deeper caves down to -64 etc) and this is the first time playing since 2016 where a new world is required to take part of the full extent of the update...

One of my favourite horror films! Admittedly I watched it mostly because of the Dokken song, but I found it to be the best of the series.
