Billy Bootleggers Surf Matinee
Introduction Afternoon gigs are a great idea. They enable you to hear great live bands without the worry of having to leave for the last bus. Although I had to leave this one early, I had a great time talking with the headliners, who are from Toronto, Canada, and Mark's sister is a dental assistant in London.

Sh*t I Could Watch Over and Over and Do # 13. Top Story - May 2025.
The Beastie Boys once said about Venom: “When we first heard them, we thought it was the funniest, dopest shit. Then when we found out they really were into Satan, it kinda bummed us out.” Not an exact quote, but close enough to the truth to stick.

I was a struggling music producer, working long hours in my dimly lit apartment, surrounded by the usual mix of wires, soundboards, and empty coffee cups. The music world was tough, especially when you were trying to carve your name into the industry. But I was determined. I wasn’t going to let the fear of failure stop me.

Where the Road Begins. AI-Generated.
✍️ Intro: The Night I Almost Stayed I stood in the hallway with my keys in one hand and a photo in the other. It was 2 AM, the kind of hour where silence gets loud, and your thoughts start yelling truths you’ve been trying to ignore.
