In the last couple of weeks I’ve come down with a pulled muscle in my neck that is made more painful if I do things that involve my hands. Such as typing for any length of time, and playing videogames. That’s why I’ve disappeared (somewhat). When this clears up, I’ll be back, but I […]
RIP Jon Lord

Jon Lord, the former Deep Purple keyboardist has died at the age of 71 of pancreatic cancer. He’d been ill for some time, but was not able to beat the cancer. As I said on Twitter earlier today, “fuck cancer”. Said it when Ronnie died, too. Check the official news item from Jon’s site […]

It’s come to my attention today that there’s several people that still don’t know who is drumming in the band. I’m not quite sure HOW that is possible, so I wanted to make one short post that should leave no doubt.

May 20, 2012 by 38 Comments
Short and sweet. here’s some video from the gig yesterday. I remember going to see concerts in the 80’s and getting bootleg video on VHS back then. The stuff that is called “bootleg video” in 2012 makes bootleg video from back then look like something you’d pull out of your arse. Some of […]
