Episode 7

Coffee and TV

W/C 24th February 2025

I found myself watching the first Rambo film last night, partly because it was there and partly because I haven’t seen any of that particular franchise.

Clearly they were films of their time, but it is interesting that the original - which was called First Blood and has since been rebranded as Rambo: First Blood - bore little resemblance to the genre it effectively spawned.

It got me thinking about the parallels the Deep Purple Machine Head, which I had also listened to for the first time recently and which also sounded nothing like the musical style that the band is cited with creating.

As far as both were concerned I was pleasantly surprised. I guess it’s a reminder to always experience the source material first hand, and always make your own mind up.

Stay safe.

Therapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity. It started out as a mechanism for me to clear my head, with the hope that by saying stuff out loud it would act as a little bit of self-help. It's remains loose in style, fluid in terms of content and raw - it's a one take, press record and see what happens, affair.

If you want to keep in touch with TFM and the other stuff I do then please follow me on Facebook, Insta, Twitter or Patreon. Thanks for getting this far.

I have been tinkering with audio since my mid-teens, recording songs & producing content for friends.

Post university I embraced the world of retail, firstly in supermarkets and later in & around the music instrument industry.

After 20 years or so, I took a sideways step into podcasting and began a venture called ashortstories, which helps in the development & production of podcasts for anyone that has a story to tell.
