Body, Mind & Metal

Welcome to the inner workings of my mind. It’s not a particularly pleasant place. You will find musings on depression, anxiety, Heavy Metal, Science Fiction, Sexuality, Body Positivity and anything else that crosses my mind.

Where’s the original music at the moment? And why can’t I buy it?

I’m currently ploughing through my email Inbox looking for stuff for a new Wyrd Ways Rock Show and I’m finding something rather troubling…

It’s The Easter Holidays!!

I’ve booked a couple of weeks off.  Something I’ve learned over the years is that taking time off needs to mean “time off”.  No work […]

End of Therapy?

No. You’re OK.  I think they’re still going.  In fact from a quick Google, they’ve got a new album coming out in early May. I’ve […]

Been a while, hasn’t it?

I’ve not written a blog entry in years.  Literally.  I was checking, and I think the last date was something like 2020.  It’s now nearly 2023, and I had something of an urge to write something.

The question is, why?

September Rain

It’s September and it’s raining.  Honestly, that’s the only reason I’ve called this post that.  It looks like it’s a bit windy out there, too.  From where I’m sitting, I can see a sycamore tree out of the window and the upper branches are waving around a bit…

Bastard Tories in again – we know who’s fault this is.

Momentum has comprehensively destroyed the chances of the Labour Party of getting into office over the last 3 years. Let’s have a look at why and how…

A few days ago I stumbled across Space: 1999 going on Amazon Video for £9 for a full season.  So the entire run was available […]

Thanks to having a 9 year old who’s bingewatching documentary stuff on YouTube, I’ve been exposed to The Infographics Show.  To be honest, they’re pretty […]

Once More… With Feeling!

Time to get the podcast up and running again after the last false start or two.

Now the old mental health is not so bad (even though I am still… erm… unbusy, so if anyone’s got any jobs going, let me know!), following a refresh and recharge brought on by a week down in Cornwall, I thought it was time to resurrect this whole podcast thing. I do have medical advice that says to do something I enjoy.

The problem is that until very recently, it would be fair to say that there wasn’t much I actually enjoyed doing. At all.

Believe it or not, this one’s been brewing since March, so with a few tweaks, it’s now ready.

Let’s light ’em up.

There’s that goddamn sun again…
