The House of Frogs: Thoughts from the House of Frogs
http://martinlennon.blogspot.com/2013/05/new-blog.html
The House of Frogs. Friday, May 10, 2013. Thoughts from the House of Frogs. I was never really happy with the way I used the old blog, so I killed it. It used to be an odd mixture of online diary, a dumping ground for random thoughts and occasionally a place for announcements. Not that I have anything against odd mixtures; I quite like them, actually. I hope you find this version of the blog interesting. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Mid-Life Bassist: Every Picture Tells A Story
http://andyhgilmour.blogspot.com/2012/09/every-picture-tells-story.html
Wednesday, 26 September 2012. Every Picture Tells A Story. Along with a billion or so other folk (at the very least - there don't seem to be any exact numbers, so I'm making a conservative estimate based on the few stats I could. And then promptly disappears, so if I haven't written the fundamentals of it down, that's it. 'Tis gone. An old friend of mine, who's a writery-sort-of-fellow, has a very-similar-but-obviously-slightly-different take on visuals and the creative blobby bits of the mind here.

Mid-Life Bassist: December 2011
http://andyhgilmour.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 6 December 2011. A Whiter Shade Of Pale. Garry Marshall's New York - a touch light, perhaps? Still, I thought, best check the statistics before rushing to make any judgements. Fortunately, the US Census Bureau have a very handy website. With all sorts of fascinating information available to those who thirst for demographic enlightenment. For instance, did you know that in 2010, "Black" and "Asian" people made up 38.2% of the city's 8,175,133 residents? Racial/ethnic invisibility in the media is ...

Mid-Life Bassist: Power To The People
http://andyhgilmour.blogspot.com/2010/02/power-to-people.html
Sunday, 7 February 2010. Power To The People. Every time we have an election in this country, I do the same tiresome, irritating thing. Urge people to go out and VOTE. Participate. Stand up, shuffle off down to the nearest primary school (or wherever the voting station happens to be), and be counted - unless you're using a postal ballot, where past evidence. Vote I know, the election itself is still up to three months away, but I thought I'd give myself plenty of time to get the message out this year.

Mid-Life Bassist: A Woman's Work
http://andyhgilmour.blogspot.com/2011/03/womans-work.html
Monday, 28 March 2011. With the imminent arrival of "Mother's Day", and another chance to cast our ballots i. N a Scottish parliamentary election coming up in a little over a month's time, I thought I could link these events in an extremely tenuous manner with a look at the current political gender balance here in Scotland. There's a fun interactive graphical thing to play with further down. Honest, there really is. But don't scroll straight to it, there's some good stuff coming up.possibly). Inister Nic...

Mid-Life Bassist: May 2015
http://andyhgilmour.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Friday, 8 May 2015. Dear English left-of-centre friends. This is a hard day, and I feel your pain. Not that Scotland voted overwhelmingly against both the Conservatives and the Labour Party. Not that we had a 5% higher electoral turnout as a nation - which, if you'd managed to similarly galvanise your support in England and Wales, could have seen the Labour party looking at government right now. Not that the bigots of UKIP gained a derisory 1.6% of the vote north of the border. Links to this post. Bass p...

Mid-Life Bassist: April 2011

Wednesday, 20 April 2011. I Am The Music Man". Or perhaps, more accurately, "I am a. Music man. Of a sort. Domestic necessities permit. Ting" But then this isn't about me at all.except it will be a bit, but only tangentially. Really it concerns that mighty sorcerer of low-end noises, Mr. Tony Levin. As per the pic on t'right).well, strictly speaking, more precisely his Music Man. Bass and the sound(s) that he makes with it. You know what? This hasn't been a good opening at all, has it?

Mid-Life Bassist: Oops!...I did it again
http://andyhgilmour.blogspot.com/2013/07/oopsi-did-it-again.html
Tuesday, 2 July 2013. I did it again. To err is human; to forgive.extremely unlikely if the mistake in question concerns grammar and the internet. Fortunately for me, my most obvious cock-up in the last few months only involved things musical and money (my own), so swift, merciless and near-universal condemnation will possibly be avoided on this occasion. Anyway, eventually I reached the point where I felt confident enough to try recording a wee bit of looping stuff. Was when I finally realised that deve...
