Looks only a mother could love but plays and sounds like a beast. Unsurprisingly not the most expensive guitar I’ve ever bought but I’ve paid more and get less before.

Strap yourself in its studio bore time. I/O and Sync/clock rack finally finished, of course a new version is out now. Also found a never used SM91 via , bought my old one in 1995 which is still going strong. If you need a transformer these Thomann ones are £15 verses the original Shure ones at £80, bargain. Unstrap yourself now.

Recorded this Lana Del Ray track with Tim Larcombe many many years ago. Vocal was already done so Tim had the job of building the track around it and I had the pleasure of engineering it.

Just added this TC M5000 to the outboard rack. These reverbs were serious money back in the day and still sounds awesome. Gratuitous studio pics to boot.

Out with the old and in with the new. Love a bargain and these Big Audio Foundry PZM’s are awesome. Will mount them on some Perspex and hang them in the drum booth. Will keep the old Realistic ones but they’ve seen better days.

Love a good review.

💜💜💜💜 Posted • 🧬MOM JEANS // MOM GENES🧬 is NOW AVAILABLE everywhere you listen to music!

A primal, surging impulse that takes over your whole body like an involuntary contraction. That’s the sensation delivered by Miesha and The Spanks’ latest labour of love, “Mom Jeans // Mom Genes.” Vocals as crisp and clean as a freshly laundered pair of dungarees are stitched up with a pulsating warning siren that sways with the seesaw momentum of a heavy metal pendulum.

From Miesha: “It's more than just about the new mom-fit jeans that I'm wearing though, that's just the metaphor. It's also the super tough mom genes that get us through that day to day of ups and downs and emotional manipulations and breakthroughs and pure joy that come with our new role as Matriarch.”

That’s a lot of sociology to load into a punk-fueled, hand-clappin’, sing-along song but if anyone is capable of transforming everyday emotional struggles into ecstatic dance floor earworms it’s Miesha and The Spanks. Who else could construct a hard rockin’ booty-shaker at the intersection of wardrobe malfunctions and genetic immortality? And when was the last time you saw an audience banging their heads to a tune about postpartum rage and the existential horror of parenthood?

If you’ve got a spare $19 this plugin from Boz Digital Labs is awesome. Spring reverb with so many extra IR’s. The Ruler on Table reverb is insane.
