@asleepyfrog thanks Leslie. Good to hear from you too; I can't reply directly from Threads apparently...which seems a bit pointless them enabling fediverse connections in the first place!

Threads is where I mostly post now....seems very pleasant @dxiii_recordings I can't get my head around the Fediverse features on Threads, but it would be handy to be able to link it to here

I'll say it now, before I inevitably nod-off! Happy New Year! Wishing you peace and happiness for 2024

Random Thought:

I used to have a Wordpress blog, full of rumination, questions, music, film and reviews. I really enjoyed keeping it and it was a great way to connect to people and to 'give back' to people who'd lent me a hand along the way.

After my dad died, I tired of the world a little and, in a spontaneous moment of pique, I deleted most of my socials....including the blog. I really regret it as I'm feeling the compulsion to start writing again and start proper 'conversations' about music, culture, or whatever took my fancy. I also had an entire section devoted to my own personal music history; my bands, my tastes....my journey. Written in a prose style, it was the closest I've come to doing creative writing.....it was unfinished, and now I feel the need to add to it. I had nothing backed-up (mad!).

I was thinking of starting a Substack, but recent events with them have deterred me. Is Wordpress still a viable thing? Does it still operate like it used to (6 years ago?).

Hope everyone's well. I've not posted on here in ages.....as I'm spending more of my time on Threads and IG; that's where...

Hope everyone's well. I've not posted on here in ages.....as I'm spending more of my time on Threads and IG; that's where you'll mostly find me.

Anyway, here's the Mari Lwyd today:

So, I posted the SK-1 samplepack on Bandcamp, but there's also two packs of drum machine samples as well, with added dirt and some bespoke MS20 drum patches. If you like that kind of thing. Lots of one-shots and some loops. https://dxiii-recordings.bandcamp.com

Free samplepack of very lo-fi samples recorded on a Casio SK-1. I'm not going to use them (I have other plans for my next recording sessions), so you might as well.

This is where my music resides https://dxiii-recordings.bandcamp.com
A little introduction: My main pseudonym has been Dementio13 for over 20 years, more recently abbreviated to DXIII (roman numerals innit? And nothing to do with gaming, Zelda or Studio Ghibli). I was in small-time bands in the 80s and 90s, then went solo in 1999 as Dementio13 (a name inspired by Coppola's 'Dementia 13'). I started out as a bassist, but realised I didn't have the patience to be proficient; though I still dabble. My music influences are too numerous and varied to mention here. I have done countless remixes and many collaborations....many conceived via the now sadly de-valued Last.fm site with like-minded artists. Many of whom are making much more interesting music than mine (check https://manfredhamil.bandcamp.com and https://theloungebarorchestra.bandcamp.com and https://northcape.bandcamp.com, to name but three). I'd like nothing more than for you to hear my music, old and new; but appreciate that time is no-one's friend, so a boost will do!

It's been a while since I did one of these, but feel the need: #3goodthings #reasonstobecheerful

1. Marmite flavoured cashews (seriously amazing)
2. Any album by Clark
3. Reducing the size of my work 'To Do' list (yes, I keep one) on an hourly basis
