Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers - Friend of the Devil

First time hearing this version and it seems to be the missing link between the Grateful Dead original and the (excellent) Counting Crows cover

Yesterday's snow partly melted and then refroze, its bloody deadly out there. Thankfully managed not to go arse over for on my way to the shops. Not that there were many people who would've seen it, everyone sensible was inside

Gog.com are currently giving away Ghost of a Tale, which is a game I've had my eye on for a while. 'Very Positive' rating on Steam, so worth getting if you don't have it already - just go to the homepage and scroll down slightly and the link's there

If there's one piece of advice I'd give to any budding , it's to keep a guitar easily accessible at all times.

Seriously, put it somewhere you can just grab it if you hear a song or get an idea, don't put it somewhere you have to make any effort to dig it out when the mood strikes you.

It's usually the tracks off the Copperhead Road album that get all the attention, but The Hard Way probably just pips it as a favourite imo

I'm tired of the media acting like the religious right speaks for my faith. It feels like every story about the Supreme Court says that LGBTQ equality is a threat to religious liberty, but public surveys actually show that most Christians -- including me -- actually support LGBTQ rights!

Please sign this to let the media know this fact?

This could potentially get very interesting. Germany is probably one of very few countries I can see taking a lead and having global influence on combatting the sort of extremism seen here.

Just struck me how so many 'big' shows seem to lose their cultural relevance quickly. I'm thinking specifically about Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead, both of which were massive when they came out - proper water cooler shows, almost everyone watched them - and now you hear virtually nothing about them, it's almost like they never existed.

Getting disillusioned with recruitment agencies. So far, my experience with them has mostly been that they post jobs which I have to search out myself, then I have to jump through *additional* hoops to apply through them - not sure they add value to the recruitment process.

Tbh, I'm starting to suspect that some of them, at least in the education sector, are there as data harvesters and to sell additional services such as applying for DBS certificates on your behalf.

I know it may not sound impressive, but I am really good at throwing things from one hand to the other. Also very good at chucking things into a bin - even awkwardly shaped stuff, 90% of the time, I can get it in there. Sometimes I surprise myself at just how damn good I am at these things.

Which leads me to my next point, I really think we need to overhaul the Olympics..

One for my followers - if you like#Pringles then the -op has them for Β£1.25 atm, which is probably about as good a price as your going to get for the foreseeable future. You'll need your club card, though.

From what I can tell, includes flavours are sour cream( THE BEST), BBQ, salt n vinegar and ready salted (which isn't even a proper flavour, fight me πŸ˜›)

Currently playing Fallout 4 and, for all their faults, are really good at environmental storytelling. is kind've the gold standard with the Cradle level as far as I'm concerned, but some of this stuff is pretty darn close

Feels like it's time to put away the summer clothes and dig out the winter stuff πŸ₯Ά

Just popped over to The Bad Place to check out a link and damn, the adverts have gotten ridiculous - every three or so posts, there's an ad 😬

(started blocking any company advertising on there now)
