Here's Part 2. On Bandcamp now... anecdata.bandcamp.com/album/vita-b...
For everyone (emphasis likely on 'one') who thought the album I put out in August was alright, here's the second half...
Watching the Arnie version tonight and it's still great
Four thumbs up for The Running Man from Mr 16 and I
First time going to an R16 movie with Mr 16 and they played a goddamn ad for condoms

Listened to few, but have to say Neil Young's 'Like a Hurricane' is probably the best guitar solo of all-time

Neighbour getting revenge this evening by blasting Dire Straits

Sorry kids, but the space where the Xmas tree would have gone this year has been taken by an industrial-strength fan

The ski machines at the gym keep breaking down. Not sure if that's an advert for or against their services

But the reverse probably applies if it's a band
My rule of thumb is if the company is named after something in Lord of the Rings, it’s almost certainly evil.
Since its founding in 2017, Anduril Industries has become one of the hottest companies in a crowded field of defense-tech startup.
Its fast-moving approach comes with its share of setbacks.

The main takeaway from this exercise was that I've probably forgotten more than five concerts I've been to, there's just so many.

Millennials are the first generation to move left as they age, rewriting the rules of Australian politics
The trend has surprised the experts behind the study.

Tonight we realised both Arrested Development and It's Always Sunny both feature Malcolm in the Middle as a real TV show, so they're also in the same universe
There was a NYC “blackout” storyline that played across Mad About You, Friends, and a short-lived Dabney Coleman show called Madman of The People. The only other sitcom on NBC that night was Seinfeld which didn’t do the blackout story, making Seinfeld Sony Spider-Man?
Mad About You and Seinfeld had a crossover in the first season with Kramer and Mad About You and Friends had repeated crossovers with Ursula so basically the 90s NBC prime time schedule was the marvel universe

My entire voting life has been under MMP, and this is by far the stupidest consequence of it I've ever seen. And that's not a mocking of MMP in theory
Nicola Willis suggests National may join the Greens, Labour, TPM and NZ First campaigning to repeal Regulatory Standards Act
