Turns out if you just plug the Tele into a Marshall JTM Studio 20 and turn the volume up to a bit over 9 or so...
Jeepers. Not very spring-like today!
The apparent temperature is 5.1ยบC, and it feels like we're gonna blow away with wind from the south gusting up to 82 km/h ๐ฌ
I โค๏ธ everything about this image.
Voting is compulsory here, and the polling places are usually public school or church halls, so they seize on the opportunity to make a few $ by selling 'Democracy Sausages' to the voters.
These kids are being introduced to democracy in precisely the right way: an overcooked sausage on a single slice of the cheapest white bread - because that maximises the profits for the school P&C - served on a bit of paper towel.
Makes me proud to be Australian ๐
It's been a long time since 1987, but this is still one of the most outstanding posters ever made.
On my way to do my democratic duty and vote in the local council election.
Even though this is just about the lowest stakes election an election can be since the Liberal Party - which is, confusingly, the conservative one here - forgot to register any candidates ๐, I love voting.
Every time I walk to the polling place, I canโt help thinking about all the people who bled so I have the right to vote. I owe them.

This is much more important film than I thought itโd be.
Not least the politics.
But the scenes in which Meryl Streep plays against Tom Cruise. And the gravitas of Robert Redford.
Looks like the independent Australian Electoral Commission has officially decided that where I live is now in a different federal electorate. They do it purely by population, and there's no opportunity for partisan gerrymandering, so that's cool.
It's also cool that I simply switch from one excellent independent MP, Zali Steggall (l), to another, Dr Sophie Scamps (r), so I don't even need to figure out new voting preferences ๐

Enthusiast.
I like guitars a lot. Maybe too much.
I also do music production and mix engineering.
