If you're in the L.A. area and want to donate anything to help the firefighters, I've been told that these are some of the things they'll really appreciate: Gatorade, Red Bull, bottled water, protein bars, beef jerky, dried fruit, nuts, disposable razors, chapsticks and eye drops

So anyway, meet Angus...

@nadiaudio I haven't lived in the UK for a while, so I might be out of date but:
1) that area used to have a pretty low cost of living by UK standards
2) you don't need to account for America's insane cost of healthcare, education etc
3) it's low, although perhaps not for a beginner? 🤷🏽‍♂️

@nadiaudio What brand? But if it's unbranded, these might do the trick: https://t.co/R5lTKwgAo4

[Paul Johnson Rogers @TheMusicTech]

@nadiaudio Go for it.

[Paul Johnson Rogers @TheMusicTech]

@nadiaudio I can't imagine a better response.

2/2...I had the sinking realization that, no matter how sophisticated the available software, I will never be a talented enough sound designer to replicate the noise I made.

Even though I am, as usual, in the sort of position where I could do with losing a bit of weight, I've just eaten 43,000 walnuts. This was, I believe, a stress response to the fact that I was putting on my right shoe this morning when a black widow scuttled out of it and... 1/2

[Paul Johnson Rogers @TheMusicTech]

@nadiaudio Ugh. That's just awful. I'm so sad to hear this.

[Paul Johnson Rogers @TheMusicTech]

@HPSupport Thank you, Harsha! Superb work!

[Paul Johnson Rogers @TheMusicTech]

@EleonorBindman I have a couple of CD burners and printers in my studio. I'm often asked by clients to create (very) small runs of CDs.

@tom_bellingham My wife called it 'Feast or Famine'.

[Paul Johnson Rogers @TheMusicTech]

@NoonWithATune Same here.

[Paul Johnson Rogers @TheMusicTech]

@NoonWithATune I'm sometimes asked to give careers talks. My top two (unexpected) tips include: only keep healthy snacks in the house and get up and move every hour, no matter how inconvenient. I know that some people used to keep treadmills in their studios. Is that still a thing?

[Paul Johnson Rogers @TheMusicTech]

@nadiaudio Oh, I absolutely agree. If I had to have a career other than music, I often feel I'd be well suited as a dialogue coach.

@NoonWithATune I was in the crowd for a massive gig where one of my tracks was played. It was an extraordinary, 'pumped up' feeling, very different to hearing one's work on tv or a movie.
Sadly, my own bands never reached similar, stadium levels of success 😄😄

[Paul Johnson Rogers @TheMusicTech]

@Sue_Turb Tough choice!

[Paul Johnson Rogers @TheMusicTech]

@nadiaudio We've certainly found L.A. much friendlier, but when we lived in Seattle we didn't experience the 'freeze' to any great extent.
(Since emigrating from England we've lived all over the US. CA is the best place by far!)
