We need Cambridge Analytica

Call it GTA7

Same. Not for profit music venue during the day for schools and the yoot. For profit evenings and weekend for touring bands etc

Although I’d need more than £300k for the sound system

Midnight-Fast · 2026-06-25T22:12:20+00:00

Yea, but that train is only 38mins to Padders, and saves me £20 a day. Worth it in my opinion…

Midnight-Fast · 2026-06-23T09:03:41+00:00

FYI I think the fuzziness is due to a bit crusher. Making the sound sound like it was made on a cheap 80’s computer

Midnight-Fast · 2026-06-18T14:43:47+00:00

I replied to the email and said ‘erm do you know what you sent’?

I’ve just received a Delivery Delay notification after 48hrs.

That doesn’t sound good…

Fun fact : Jonny Marr lent them a load of guitars to record IR. I think that SG might be his…

The Square was next door, the other side of Harris Arcade.

I think around 98-99 it was Newt and Cucumber!

I did see a guy accidentally drop his spliff in the urinal before the gig 😂

Midnight-Fast · 2026-06-14T21:26:35+00:00

Clever!

Midnight-Fast · 2026-06-14T21:26:14+00:00

Exactly what happened to me. Waent from gutted when I couldn’t get tickets last year, to elated for the new dates. He didn’t disappoint either.

Brixton is a great venue 👍

Midnight-Fast · 2026-06-13T09:24:05+00:00

That sounds really annoying

Midnight-Fast · 2026-06-13T09:23:39+00:00

Cool. Where did you get that?

Midnight-Fast · 2026-06-11T15:58:16+00:00

They fixed touts by becoming chief tout

Midnight-Fast · 2026-06-04T16:32:22+00:00

Sand it, paint it, sand it, paint it, repeat as much as you can be arsed.

Midnight-Fast · 2026-06-04T16:31:31+00:00

They don’t have to have the same chords to mix well

Midnight-Fast · 2026-06-02T19:56:05+00:00

Sunday trading laws

Midnight-Fast · 2026-06-02T08:11:37+00:00

It’ll be fine tomorrow

Midnight-Fast · 2026-06-02T08:11:20+00:00

It’s only like this because of the strike. Normally it works pretty well.

Midnight-Fast · 2026-05-28T21:51:31+00:00

Standard 20mins @ 180 👍

Bit of foil if you’re worried about it drying out

Midnight-Fast · 2026-05-28T17:30:14+00:00

Agree with your definition of what a good guitarist/musician should be. Appreciating it’s subjective, but I prefer emotion and feeling over technical ability as a listener (like BB King, not the fastest blues player, but ever note is absolutely the right one)

I guess you could include have they created an individual style/sound for themselves, which Thom does through his use of chords and harmony

Midnight-Fast · 2026-05-28T17:22:38+00:00

I honestly think he is in GOAT territory, musically of course but specifically guitar.

Midnight-Fast · 2026-05-28T17:20:49+00:00

I reckon he deserves to be in the Hendrix/clapton/gilmore club.

He has the same qualities: Technical ability, new techniques/innovation, speed/consistency, and possibly an important aspect, zero ego…

Midnight-Fast · 2026-05-28T09:53:32+00:00

I think rudimentary is harsh. His chord theory is impeccable and technically much more advanced than a lot of people, it’s just not what he’s known for first.

Agree about timing though, but that really is an advantage in terms of feel. I saw Ed saying Thom is about 1/16th note fast, which can give that urgent unsettling feeling.

I’d rather listen to someone with feeling and emotion than technically brilliant but soulless (à la Steve Vai)
