the European mission to Greenland was fourth in the BBC news running order this morning, which feels a bit like doing a light "and finally..." item about the archduke's motorcade taking a wrong turn in Sarajevo

Myself and junior chancing Brian May’s vocal and guitar parts in Queen’s Heaven For Everyone
The guitar solo in Queen’s Coming Soon has Brian May eviscerating the guitar. Sommuch attitude. UsingIK Multimedia ToneX and Raymon Guitars Red Special here.
An advertisement for the polio vaccine which reads: "they all got vaccine except dad...don't take a chance...take your polio shots!" It depicts a photo of a family gathered around a father who is in an iron lung.
With science falling under increasing attack, this medical historian is here to remind people of the power of #vaccines. THREAD🧵
Hard-hitting polio advert from 1958. In the first half of the 20th century, polio was the leading cause of death in children and young adults. 1/7
The guitar break in Queen’s Sail Away Sweet Sister gets quite confusing diring the final harmony sections.
Using IK Multimedia #ToneX to get the amp sounds
A little bit of bowed guitar practice
The guitar solo from Queen’s Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy was too complex to render live so Brian May came up with this iteration. It’s still quite difficult!
A Queen deepcut to mark Brian May’s birthday- Ride the Wild Wind from Queen’s Innuendo album.
That’s incredible
Fun fact. The first time Queen’s It’s a Hard Life was performed was 28 August 1984 in the RDS, Dublin.
I’m guessing the second time was our soundcheck in the same venue just now!
A rare victory!
I went back to school last year to study Artificial Intelligence.
I just got my results on my final project this evening.
I got a DISTINCTION!!!
I'm absolutely thrilled.
I have to say I can’t remember the last time I saw a gothic horror so well made. Nosferatu managed to shock and abhor in equal measure and still be quite beautiful.
The Lighthouse Cinema in Smithfield are showing it on a 35mm print.
It’s so worth it.

Thanks Richie!!!
Me and me pal watching ourselves on de telly - RTÈ One now!
Looks like Speed got all the map gigs
It was fun. Reading and debunking it was a good exercise in epistemology and schooled history. Now everything is an exercise in epistemology so less fun now
I made a gift buying guide for guitarists amd needed some music to set the scene. All of this recorded with my number one gift choice this year - an IK Multimedia ToneX One pedal!

It never really had aliens added to the mix so a crossover would do well.
Georgia, you are inspiring! 💪🏼🇬🇪🇪🇺
This is what it looks like to value freedom and democracy.

The important tree decorations are up
Poor Pepys. I hope he kneed the shark in his downstairs gills
It’s crazy the difference and it’s crazy how quickly the language changed. Obviously the Norman invasion was a huge influence but the diversity of Germanic dialects that made up the vocabulary is fascinating. There’s a lot baked into English that is long lost in Germany, Benelux, Denmark et al
GoFundMe to put a piano in the count centre?
Back in school studying AI.
There are legion philosophy graduates out there who suffered years of “why did you study that?” wringing their hands with glee due to this technology.
When Skynet takes over we’ll at least have had this moment before being converted to bio batteries.
Now it feels like Christmas! 🥲
Long story short. We were in the National Museum comparing middle English, old Irish and Norman French so now we’re at home and since she’s a native German speaker she’s comparing old English to German to hear how much she gets.
We are a family of nerds.
