Guess I'd never really listened properly to those lyrics. Makes sense it's about homelessness... To be fair, it's pretty bloody hard to understand what EV's singing at the best of times.

I often wonder what changed about Pearl Jam's songwriting - they never managed to recapture that same intensity that Ten had. Incredible debut, not a bad song on that album. Then Vs, a couple, maybe three dud songs. Vitalogy, maybe 50/50. Stopped listening pretty much after that. Certainly never bought another of their albums.

Like Vedder's solo stuff tho.

Yes, and I understand the process pretty well I think, as well as what I'm striving to output (long time Lightroom user). But the DT just doesn't respond how I expect it to, with unexpected results. Frustrating.

Wasn't aware of the pixls site though; I like that idea!

I really, really want to like Darktable, mostly because of the name lol. I must've tried it 8 or 10 times over the years, but I just can't get my head around it. Something about the design language or the UI or something just doesn't click for me and I can't get decent images out of it. So I keep going back to Rawtherapee, even though I'd rather not...

I got to play with a Hololens a bit when my brother brought one home from work. Astonishing tech.

Ho ho ho, is that the sound of bells I hear?

Woke with a migraine this morning. Popped a couple of tryptans which have kicked the migraine but I'm now left with the 'off' feeling (and hypersensitive nerves) of the tryptans. No hot coffee for me this morning...

Got to go into work this afternoon which sucks a bit. But options for the morning: a) Fit up new sprockets and chain to motorbike b) Replace shock on son's MTB c) head to our land and clean up after last night's party d) settle in on the sofa and play some Horizon Zero Dawn

Definitely option c) right?!

Staff Christmas party tonight - I've got to put together a BBQ for 25 today (lamb, roast chickens, kumara rosti + the usual salads and sides), including desserts , drinks, gift bags for all, entertainment (set up my PA for music plus guitar/vocals). Going to be a busy day!

Oh man, Soju and Karaoke - takes me back to when I spent loads of time in Seoul for work... Oh, and Tornado shots too 😂 We used to joke that my boss had a body double - one who took the night shift, drinking everyone under the table and staying up till dawn, then he'd go to sleep and the real one would take over, there for the 8AM meeting, shirt pressed, shoes polished, sharp as anything. Those were the days...

It's on the 2-and of the bar (the ascending arpeggio). Think the note is an E

Edit - on the 1-and. The lead in is beat 4 of the previous bar. So it's the 4th note of the arpeggio

I always thought it was a deliberate part of the track, but the internet insists it was a genuine double mistake and f-bomb from Billie Joe. Nice!
