rare tape.

This band had Steven Wells and Andrew Bain in it - they went on to be in a pretty popular NZ rock band called Fur Patrol from late 90s-2000s, so this is a precursor to that. in the notes they also thank Campbell Kneale, a prolific underground nz musician in bands like Birchville Cat Motel and Black Boned Angel. they also thank "Drinkwater".

beautiful and cool obscure music like this is everywhere if you just wanna look for it even for a few minutes. dont let yourself think someone has to come along and show it to you <3

i don’t even know where i’m going with this. i guess the point is sometimes you are not uniquely ill-equipped for a thing, sometimes that thing is actually just really difficult. and sometimes you don’t realize this and end up holding yourself to insane standards for no reason. but also this can end up benefiting you in the end? idk. maybe i should participate in that step challenge this year or something

He was warming up for band practice one day and played it and the singer was very impressed and was like 'oh you're doing a speed challenge of that song' and my brother said no, he's trying to match the original speed but it's impossible because the original is too fast. They relistened to the song and it was slower than how my brother played it

There's a lot of positives with SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant/Realistic, Timely), (i really recommend it for things with work/school or things that have a natural deadline that isn't set by you) but the flip side of that is Godhart's law: when a measurement becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measurement. If OP or my brother or Kobayashi had specific goals and checked their progress against it, it would have inhibited their ability to achieve what they ended up achieving

I was worried when he didn't rush out to greet me immediately but it was just because he was cozy.

Something different this time! I’m doing a bit of a world-building project with friends from my course, here’s some of my doodling featuring weird space locations.
