free loops! i started making loops years ago because i had never been in a band (still havent) and i wanted to learn how to play lead. These are mostly 60's american psych and adjacent. Not ableton warped or anything but still pretty tight. 140 or so. For use in your practice. DL in comments
Push Button Pleasure "The Last Dissonance" on Hamster. 1987
Picture of a guitar pick that has changed life in a small but important way
Reading the Hacienda book by Peter Hook and in it there is a quote from Tony Wilson from 1982 saying how much he hated Simple Minds. I found that a bit surprising as most all of SM output prior to that year was really excellent with some edge. I can see how "New Gold Dream" was too slick but still.
i decided to splash out on this new, rather insane PF book. "follows the unsanitised story of Pink Floyd’s activities during 1967. The story reveals itself through this collection of virtually every known piece of paper written, photo snapped or recording taped while the year unfolds. Accompanying the text are over 500 images, most of which are not-beforepublished or have not been republished since their original 1967 debut. https://www.floydstuff.com/product/19293152/pink-floyd-1967-regular-edition-book
Got my first grown-up guitar. Thankfully, it was second-hand, and I traded some pedals to get it, but it's so nice.
For those of you who enjoy reading underground newspapers of the late 60's & early 70's, i just stumbled upon this great assortment of scanned issue of John Wilcock's "Other Scenes". One of the most influential underground papers out there but often very hard to find
