its been a few weeks so just thought I'd drop a quick update in here, I'm currently down 4st 3lbs, its getting to be bloody expensive though because I've had to buy new clothes, the new jeans I bought are already too big for me and I'm gunna have to buy yet another few pairs. I was trying to hold out for 4st 7lbs before my next treat but I've caved and ordered myself a 16oz piece of fish n chips and I've gotta admit, I'm bloody excited for it, first time I've had fish and chips in about 5 months. There is no guilt at all about this particular treat, I've worked hard for it, I'll be straight back in the gym tomorrow to start on working it off.

I bought my Fender Telecaster about 2 years ago and it was my go to guitar for the electric but I've found myself lately playing my Epi Les Paul more and more, the Tele is better for the softer stuff but for a real blues crunch I prefer the LP

Everyone talking about Gibsons, Next year is my 40th birthday and it'll come just after my annual bonus, I'm hoping to have enough tucked away that I'll be able to buy a 50's gold top Les Paul, it'll come to around £2.5k, that'll be my once in a lifetime purchase on a guitar

He is our player but it is technically only a loan until Man City decide that they want him

what was the red card? I must have missed that, I've missed bits of the second half

Just ordered tickets to go and see Marcus King in November, fantastic guitarist

nope

This thread is fast becoming a general music conversation. Anyways, up until this point I've only ever really messed around with recording, it wasn't something that I've put a lot of time into, I really wanna change that though and now that I've got my Fender Mustang that means that I'll need to switch between that and my Spark amp if I wanna record any bass. along with the looper pedal and audio interface there is far too many cables to even consider just setting up on the coffee table for half an hour of messing around. I've rearranged the entire living room and bought myself a desk and stool so I can have my own little recording base where everything is plugged in and ready to go whenever I want.

John Deacons bass was always extremely distinctive, there are the few popular bass lines (under pressure, another one bites the dust etc) but when you hear things like millionaire waltz it couldn't be anyone other than Deaky. Jack Bruce as well but that goes without saying.

2 miles now. Used to be even closer than that, when I was a kid I'd sit in the back garden when we were playing cuz I could hear the roar when we scored.

I went for an outdoor run today, first time that I've done it since getting back into the gym, did 3 miles, and I currently feel fine, just waiting for my knees and hip to start giving me some grief now, I'm looking forward to the lighter mornings so I can start going out more frequently. I've currently lost 3st 10lbs (52lbs) since October.

what brand of strings are you using on that and what does it sound like plugged in?

I like both of the G&S tracks, like Bilson said, I love Squires guitar work, especially on another rainbow, I just have to prepare to mentally zone out when Liam starts randomly listing colours. Mars to Liverpool is decent as well, I've listened to both of them a shitload and I'm looking forward to the album

If he was still alive, I wonder if he would have kicked off and tried to get this image removed from the net like Taylor swift is

Arriving tomorrow, Fender Mustang GTX50 I don't need it but at least its saved me from buying a new guitar

I absolutely don't need another one, and I certainly don't have the talent to back up spending £2k+ on one....but, if I can't treat myself for my 40th birthday then when can I treat myself. I really need someone on here to guide me through my G.A.S. though, I'm so close to ordering the Fender GTX50 right now but aside from wanting to upgrade on the spark amp for no real reason I don't actually need it.

I'm seriously considering upgrading my amp to a Fender GTX50, mainly because of the Effects Loop that it has, only thing is that it is between £350 and £400 and I don't know if I can really justify it. I currently have a Spark Amp and a Katana Mini (which I absolutely love, I'd highly recommend that for anyone who wants to just noodle about while sitting on the sofa) I don't know how much additional joy I'll get out of a new amp aside from the pedal option. Also, its my 40th birthday next year, I'm seriously considering flogging my Epi Les Paul and getting an actual Gibson LP for around £2000, I'm kind of hoping its just a passing thought but I can see me being stupid enough to go through with it.

Listen to The Yardbirds and you can easily tell who is playing whether its Jimmy Page, Clapton or Jeff Beck. I'm pretty sure that there is a Yardbird song that Page plays pretty much the same opening bars of the solo as he does on Dazed and Confused.

its an app called stats.fm, I think it costs about 3 quid for the full version but if you listen to shit loads of music I'd say its worth it. bit of a faff to start with if you want your entire listening history all the way back to when you first got Spotify, you need to email them and request all of the files in .json format (or something like that) then you upload them to the app and away you go. gives you stats for daily, weekly, monthly, yearly and entire history, times listened, most listened tracks, artists and albums. its more accurate than wrapped as well I find.

My Oasis stats from spotify I don't know what the top 250 tracks are or how they are worked out but considering the amount of music that I listen to, Oasis are right up there at number 6.

Melanie, singer of Lay Down (Candles in the Rain) Dead - age 76, this one makes me sad

I''d love to get an amp that I can use a looper on, I've only got a spark and a Katana mini though and it sounds pretty terrible through both of them, I've got a real cheap one that work "ok" with the katana but it still isn't brilliant

I **** love Molly Tuttle, she's amazing. I've been listening to a lot of Stephen WIlson Jr just lately, he's great, this album is up there with Charles Wesley Godwin's recent efforts

I want to see Everton get relegated but I want it to be through them being shit, not through them getting a 20 point deduction. I really think this just highlights how unbalanced these rules in the league are.

I haven't got an overall target, I'm just boing 7lbs at a time. And I treated meself today, Greggs breakfast and a phat Indian tonight, back on it and back in the gym tomorrow
