LOL! This is great. I like the simple alternation between standard and italics, the dialog is perfectly preserved without loads of extra shite (like there is when I write).

I've also long-appreciated your artwork. It's extremely striking, and you manage to be so consistent about creating unique works for each post...I have followed your work for a couple of years now and taken much inspiration from your persistent style of formatting and layout...I apologize for waiting this long to engage and tell you this...but hell yeah man, and glad you got that new amp!

Cheers man, that's really nice to hear!

I have said before but sometimes doing the artwork is my favourite bit! But I do like telling the tales!

I successfully got the thing, now I just have to wait till it ships... In September dammit!

I can tell! Your work was the inspiration for the Name that Tune episode covers. But I was afraid it would be difficult to keep up the regular schedule with consistency, so I actually recorded and scheduled every contest up through 2026, way back in like 2022/2023. It was an effort of great organization, because i recorded all the episodes edited down the footage and saved the videos, then went back and spent a few weeks making the art - all so i could make sure i held consistency without skipping a beat…anyway, yours is a tough act to follow in that regard, i may or may not pick up NTT for another season after 2026, we’ll see…but all my templates i now use were initially inspired by your consistent/awesome format and style. Not ass kissing i swear, just calling it like it is.

I successfully got the thing, now I just have to wait till it ships... In September dammit!

I hate the wait man, i feel ya! Ive had some didgeridoos and flutes come from other parts of the world…in fact, the double Native American flute I call Blod Ravnene, used in the 19th NTT contest (still unsolved ;) came from Russia, and took forever because the lady only built it after I paid, and then shipping was an eternal nail biter…I get anxious waiting on shipments lol

At any rate man, I’m stoked to hear about it when it comes in! …I usually only see text posts from you, but you have a fancy guitar 2 PC thing…do you post audio or video anywhere? You’re probably like a professional studio musician on half the movie soundtracks of our time or something ridiculous, just making sick art and stories on the side for kicks…

Fucking hell. Till 2026? That is some dedicated work right there! I am glad I could inspire something, that's a fine old compliment. I have had compliments before on my artwork and a fair share of people going berserk with the hate over it. It takes all kinds so I dont mind but I do prefer the positive over the negative! 😀

That flute sounds like something else. I have to go have a look... Blod Ravnene - love the name!

I dont actually record stuff. I am too cheap, well, since I had kids I am to get a decent rig to record things. Mostly the stuff I record is straight off the phone amateurish. I was in a band that did ok and recorded some shnizz but I wouldn't say my playing is great, I just about get by!

I've actually seen one instance of the "berserk hate" - not to drudge up old bullshit, but I honestly got a laugh out of it as I'd tend to assume you must have - but it was this post's mention of your alleged satanic artwork that led me to think...I gotta go see the artwork that's getting all this hype! ...and the rest you already know lol

Thanks! It may not be correct...I named it using a translator app; it's supposed to be (I think) Norwegian for "The Blood Ravens". It's pretty metal.

Same. If I record, it's via the phone - which these days can be pretty decent quality. Although once, when my youngest was around two, she slobbered all inside the mic opening on the phone and completely wrecked my sound quality. Kids are fun 🤣

You can't beat a bit of metal! :OD Blood Ravens is awesome!

Aye, satanic artwork. Lol. I think that guy had me as the secret boss of Hive! I was like, oh aye, I am just a dude from Scotland but oh no. I was in with thee CIA and everything. What a prick he was. I do like to laugh at the idea of someone coming to my posts for the satanism and finding nothing like it. The post he keeps referring to as well was me talking about my missus working on New Years day :OD

HAHAHA!!! Yeah the whole thing seemed like a desperate grab - and yeah I do recall you were slotted as at least one of the leaders of the dark cabal, if not the dark overlord…I think he was peanut butter and jealous of your wit and general popularity ;)

That's me, the dark overlord. 🤣🤣🤣

Some people just can't see others do better than them without inventing mad shit to make it seem more plausible for them!
