Hi, it's very freeing to write what no one will read. In a strange way that relates to my topic, AI. You're probably aware that bands are nearly extinct and AI is good enough to resemble any artist and style. It sounds depressing but don't be. Sure there'll be a thousand new tracks a day but sound is just sound and we'll quickly tire of (expired link) soon become ear mush, and music will come back to its roots, live energy. Music has a very human role, to energise, to be real in real time. That's our challenge and always has been. So buckle up, get out of your own way and blister your local scene. This isn't the end, it's the beginning.

It's a frosty Monday morning and I'm hoping you all haven't been touched by Covid or the downs of feeling cut off. The news tells me over this past year 10 guys have together made $520 billion. That's one giant wealth hoover, no wonder we're feeling poorer. It'll pass I guess. But maybe it's a good time to live through, find out what's truly important to us, the little things that make us laugh and bring a tear, that fire us up like a rocket to go somewhere or just make us grateful for being where we are. One thing for sure, things won't change till we make them. We're funny creatures us humans. So blessed but having it in our own hands to change them from blessings to curses. This says it all.

I'm considering learning their track 'Seagulls'. I'm guessing it would be a unique performance here in the UK. No one's stupid enough to invest the time learning the words or brave enough to watch the audiences bemused pitying expressions, but you know sometimes things have to be done. On a rare appearance at the weekend in a black Top Shop mini skirt and leggings I apparently made a woman's 'bunny jump.' I'm not aware of the expression so if anyone could tell me what a woman's bunny is I'd be grateful.

Hi, Hope you're well. If you can get BBC iPlayer listen to

It's wonderful! The whole series takes a piece, in this case 'God only Knows' Beach Boys, and well it's just Ahhhaaaaaaaa.
Enjoy.

Hello and a big thank you for liking my songs. I’ll try to put up three new ones soon. I think I’m held back by being happy and lazy, not a good combination for doing stuff, but I have replaced the guttering. Came home pissed last night after wine and talking about the state of the world. Why is everybody trying to be like somebody else? No one, like here on N1M, aspires to rise out of the generic. Life should be play, make a mess, learn and recover. Do that a thousand times and we’ll all be unique. I guess that’s what Geranium School is about. So though I appreciate you all please be your own biggest fan not mine. Far more sensible.
