Yesterday’s track ultimately became a reminder of one of the most effective cards I’ve ever gotten from Brian Eno’s Oblique Strategies1I’ve talked about them before, but if you don’t know what they are, it’ll be fastest to just do a quick search.

It is also another great example of music that I love, but never … Continue reading

The secret that has eluded us for so long is finally clear and it all finally makes sense. And then we wake up. Such was … Continue reading
