Wow, is that possible, to not care about it?  :lol I can learn something about guitars and gear, but more important to me, it is an insight into their world. To see them doing what they love. Guy knows we love to see "behind the scenes", that is why he tries to give us something.
I can't play a single instrument, but I have watched the 2005 soundcheck twice. Just to see them and hear their voices. I know this sounds like they are wild animals on display...

Since they started recording at British Grove, the studio diaries have become predictable and gradually less interesting to me. It's nice to see familiar faces and the cool gear, but the diaries offer very little insight.

I agree with the points about diaries being just gear, cables, instruments and family faces, yes, it's true, but it creates a sense of something happening, the anticipation of a new record in the work, that anticipation, for me, has been always something important, as much as the record itself, it is, like MK says, part of the cycle.

We don't know anything that they're doing or how they're doing it, but they are there, doing something that will get into a piece of round plastic and vinyl, and that we would listen and enjoy.

How could someone not be excited about it?

I think everyone gets a little something from the diaries and I suppose it is a case of what sparks your interest. I am for one am not technically minded so all the information on amps, wires, consoles, the types of guitars and equipment per se flies over my head for most of the time. I'm just grateful that Guy takes the time to give some insight into what is going on in the background which is a lot more than other artists. Perhaps it could be enlivened. Off the top of my head - a ten second video from each of the band every few days saying 'Hey-ho' - might just drive more traffic to the diary but it is what it is and long may it continue in my view. I just think that with all the preparatory work that has gone into this since late 2020, then whatever comes out of BG this year should be a real humdinger!

Maybe Kim Wilson will come back to the band. I'd like more songs like Bluebird.

Loose tea isn't fresh either, it's dried just like in tea bags!     :)

It's certainly a lot fresher than bagged tea...
The main difference between loose leaf tea and bagged tea is the grade of the tea used. 'Generally speaking, tea bags will use low grade tea (called 'dust' or 'fannings'). ... It just indicates the condition of the tea leaves used. By contrast, loose leaf teas generally use the whole tea leaf...
