On the stereo this morning: Houses of the Holy- Led Zeppelin. It was raining yesterday really heavily so I put on Rain Song for my daughter. Music for me is like a time travel device. When I listen to that song, I’m 16 again, and I just bought my new stereo with my first pay … Continue reading
Today on the stereo- Primal Scream- Give Out But Don’t Give Up: The Original Memphis Recordings. My mate tuned me in to this, it’s the mix of the album recorded in Muscle Shoals in Alabama. It’s great. Okay, but what did I do last week aside from listen to obscure mixes of seminal 90s albums? … Continue reading
On the stereo- Kavinsky. On my mind after the Olympics closing ceremony. A tough but instructive week as I upped my conditioning. It’ll be another week before I adapt, so I think it’s going to be more of the same this week. Monday Sparring, first score, 45 minutes. Awful, 1 out of 5 session. For … Continue reading
Yeah so I’ve been a little slack on the blogging. I have still been hitting the gym and rolling, but it’s been interspersed with a couple of holidays and some family stuff. A small update on the goals- I’ll be definitely travelling to the UK Nationals in September, and to the Lisbon Open in October. … Continue reading
On the stereo today- Neil Young- Harvest I was in such a hurry last week that I forgot to log my last session of last week. I did 12 rounds of NoGi on Saturday previous. First NoGi rounds of the year! True story. Okay sooo…. something embarrassing to share first. Monday Morning- Upper Body session. … Continue reading
On the stereo today, a Pearl Jam playlist. Went to see them on Saturday with all the rest of the 40 and 50 something crusty looking 90s grunge fans. Training last week was a bit hit and miss but I’ve got an insight for you. Monday Rested after running the Irish Open. Needed it. Tuesday … Continue reading
On the stereo today as I’m typing- Ezra Collective. Thanks to Dave for the tip. Monday Went to the gym in the morning for some upper body, and all went well until I went overhead for some light presses. Ow, what the hell is that, I said. A pinch behind my shoulder blade. Then I … Continue reading
I did not think I’d get to 13 on this. I’m notorious for dropping things in the middle of them. Nothing on the stereo today. I’m standing at my desk with the back doors swung wide enjoying some silence. Monday Gym in the morning, heavy upper body session. I didn’t track everything I did but … Continue reading
On the stereo today: Are You Experienced?- Jimi Hendrix Last week I was still on the tail end of a sinus infection, so didn’t get too much done. Still, not a bad week. Big thing was that I got an inversion table to hang from to help my back. Like anything like this, it’s hard … Continue reading
On the stereo today- Afghan Whigs- 1969 I’m standing typing this as I’m adjusting my life a little with the news that I’ve got a back condition. We probably all have a low back issue to some degree, but we just put it down to being stiff or old. We never attend to it and … Continue reading
