This is Spinal Tap is up there with Blues Brothers for me. Great call Reg.

Starting up a relaxed public holiday here with Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers - Rare Bird Alert.

...That was possibly even louder than Disaster Area ... Having to play from orbit...no one is louder than Disaster Area! My brother and I were waxing lyrical about Desatio Hotblack's spaceship the other day. Irony is delicious! : ) Currently playing Roger Waters "Is This The Life We Really Wan...

Lemme know what I need to send for postage, Stu. On the off chance you end up with a spare zombie bear shirt...put me on the list for it...it's a good 'un.

And if you like Jennifer Charles in this, go check out Elysian Fields.

@ James - they are compromised machines the world over...industrial systems...cams...databases. I run it on the side of my screen to watch to new compromises....and sometimes get an interesting soundtrack. It's another world.

Back to the fun stuff...

@ James, Zippy, JS....IOT appliances...they are nearly always the point of failure due to bad security. If you're into vapourwave and internet exploits, Shodan2000 is retro-tastic and shows plenty of compromised camera systems.

Thanks for the callout to Bauhaus, Greg. Forgot I had this little gem...

In The Flat Field is such a good tune.

Been solid since March here too...I ended up taking the clippers to the top and sides as it was gettin' outta hand like normal. Good to hear yer gettin' a new machine.

Back on topic...lookin' forward to some new rags to wear : )

Pics of the new bike on arrival please, Sir.

@ Dave - the lads in Alchemist I've known for a long time. I have lost count how many times I saw them live...and I consider myself fortunate to have both opened for them and headlined on a bill with them. Seek out Jar of Kingdom - that was the era I saw them do pubs and clubs in Canberra. Stunning ...

I heard Gwen before No Doubt, she was part of the Long Beach punk/dub scene and did a couple of duets with one of my favourite bands Sublime Yup...the whole LBC was pretty good back then. Sublime gets good airplay here...Garden Grove is a perennial...but without a sub and a well treated room, you'l...

Great thread. Enjoyed seeing a wide mix. Lately...it's been a lot of Melt Banana (Cell Scape/Teeny Shiny), Godflesh (Pure/Streetcleaner), Nasum (Shift/Inhale-Exhale) and Obituary (Slowly We Rot). When the caffeine levels hit the right peaks...Dark Angel (Darkness Descends) is about the velocity to w...

@Steve - Vulpine may be considered gravelwanker these days, but their merino riding tops are nice. Way nicer than my BaaBaa. Got mine 2nd hand and wore it to death.

I found a short sleeve, work type shirt from Arcteryx in a sale bin across the pond a while back. Great cut for riding in. Appreciate it doesn't compete with 1 squid bamboo on the price scales...but if you can find 'em, they're good enough to ride or go to work in. Missus says I look sharp in it and...

Yeah....I get this....I mean...look at where I am now. Still not sure if it was smart, stupid or some grey area between that isn't worth two knobs of goat sh!te. My problem is I get these stupid ideas with complete and utter disregard there's a reason I haven't done that in the first place. All said...

Almost sounds Swedish, James. : )

Kat asked for a long sleeve MTB as well...sorry for the 2nd order Stu. Just bundle 'em all up and they'll all come here.

All sorted...let me know what the shipping is Stu.

One of the nice things about 'em Reg....you can sit upright and not hit your head or disrupt any condensation that may have formed overnight.

Back when I got mine, my thought was more that if I'm in the middle of nowhere and the SPOT gets used, I can be seen easily. There's been many times I've wished for the camo version though. Nice pull fella.

No beer? Just need to increase your calories if you're burning 'em off that fast. The UK poultry industry will welcome your patronage as you decimate their chicken and egg stocks. Once you've cleaned them out you can move onto your next food source. : ) Alas....glued to the desk at the moment....on ...

Now why did you go asking for that again, Stu? I was enjoying brekky...

Used a alu Superfly...once with bouncy Fox and alu bars...once with rigid Niner RDO and carbon bars. I'll use the same setup - eggbeaters/2.1 Nano or 2.0 NineLine/SDG Belair when I make time to return. Carbon bars/fork was a good combo for me out there.

Eternally jealous of the lovely pics. Stuck at the desk this weekend having managed to get picked for on-call.

Y'all have a cracking weekend. I'll hoist one to the north on Monday when I can get stuck back in.

Ride more...eat anything/everything. Oh and beer. But you know this already fella.
