Finally (for now) the incredible art-pop of The Dowling Poole. They don’t have anything new out today but any day is a good one to check out the genius of my beautiful friends Willie Dowling and Jon Poole.

Happy Birthday to YES' guitar maestro Steve Howe!

@Vennart Well, I’ve bought everything in Bandcamp and ITunes and still have all the CD’s so now I can listen EVERYWHERE!

[Mark J Smith @markjsmithbass]

@Vennart @LlSTENlNG_PARTY Is Jon still playing?

[Mark J Smith @markjsmithbass]

@Vennart @LlSTENlNG_PARTY I fucking love Catalyst. That opening riff is brutal!

[Mark J Smith @markjsmithbass]

Looking forward to this one!

RIP Eddie Van Halen. One of a select few guitarists to influence all those that followed.

I am deeply saddened to read of the passing of Tim Smith from Cardiacs today. Even though Tim had been ill for many years, it's still hard for me to think of him as gone, as his music made such a big impression on me, and continues to do so.

[Mark J Smith @markjsmithbass]

Hard to put into words how much Tim Smith meant to me and this is the first day I think I've properly grieved for a musical hero. A totally incomparable legend and genius that changed everything for me #RIPTimSmith #Cardiacs #TimSmith

[Chris Catalyst @ChrisCatalyst]

Heartbroken. The leader of the starry skies is gone. RIP my hero and my wonderful friend, Tim Smith from Cardiacs. Thank you for a lot of very amazing memories. X

@Vennart Sad, sad day. The greatest.

[Mark J Smith @markjsmithbass]

@Vennart Which one? Are you actually trying with your fingers?

[Mark J Smith @markjsmithbass]

Just done a little home practice with my good old '82 MIJ Precision fitted with Nordstrand pickups. This is one of the best basses I've ever played and the @nordstrandaudio pickups take it to a new level! https://t.co/t2HxAXmEEd

Enjoying this rendition of the Stevie Wonder classic by main man @VictorWooten. I always stress to how much you can get really understanding harmony and chord construction so you can play the right notes - as busy or as relaxed as you like. #bass #bassist https://t.co/UhPsH0ApSd

@DaveJTracey @adamneelybass I just thought exactly the same thing. I've pretty much just sang Sing To God through in my head listening out for no-tonic!
