I've been playing with #wled and #pixelart -- here is my first attempt, for the musical I am producing. This will go in the costume of the main character.

My latest project is in this case cleaning a classic Yamaha PortaSound PSS-390 music keyboard.

It's in good condition and works perfectly, but needs a clean.

The era of FM synthesis was a fun one and this reminds me so much of my childhood.

The photo shows me and May getting ready for our gig last night. I have a Commodore 64 shirt and Mary has LEDs in her hair. I have a top hat with glowing lights on it.

Played a gig last night — lots of geeky songs.

Check me out with me C64 shirt on!

My new #queer #steampunk musical

I’m playing a gig on the 31st!

I wrote a song about being a Gen Xer — no self aggrandising here:

And the year 2000 came and went,
We may suck,
That’s on us,
But at least we’re not our parents.

Anyone want to hear it?

Which should I wear first?

BlueSky just asked me to verify my age.

It scanned my face.

I want to know what age it thinks I am.

Been away for a while, frantically writing and getting my musical “A Clockwork Heart” ready.

You can’t trick me. I know my fish.

Told you.

Yes, that is a fish.

Yes. That is a fish.

I have a superpower. I can identify any fish of a photo. Try me.

Ta.

Can someone tell me what lowkey means? Because to me it means being secretive but I see people using it in a way I don’t understand.

I hate to use the words "This too, shall pass" because right now, it probably all looks horrible with no end in sight.

Been there, my friend. Wish I had more words of wisdom apart from "preserve". At least time to find little moments of relief for yourself.

Thanks Uncle. It’s just hard sometimes. Mental health is no joke, even if sometimes it’s the only way I can cope with it.

I’ve been struggling. It’s been a tough few weeks.

I’ll see what I can do then.

Of course.

Sure.

I didn’t think you were encouraging it, it just made me think.

I tend to be inspired by subject matter rather than other people’s songs. I tend to go my own way on these things.

Like the selection you sent though :)

Never written a country song, must say, but might have a crack at it, just have to find the right subject matter.

I write songs about things that amuse me and I really like. Sometimes they’re funny, sometimes just strange. Sometimes serious.

I wasn’t, but am now. :)

Ended up starting to write a song about it — shall dedicate it to you :)

Doesn’t have to just be 8-but, just something cool and retro and I can use to write something funny and nostalgic.

So now I’m hard at work writing a song about Murderbot.
