Relax by whatsisname on hearthis.at | ElectroProg, Electro, Pop, EnergyXT2, Synth1, Synthesizer, D

Here's another #ElectroProg #TranceFusion track from 2010. It was remixed in 2012 and 2016 for release on my 2017 album "Indefinite Articles". It was the first track I wrote after buying a pair of KRK nearfield monitors, which certainly made the job easier.

"Relax"

I think is just a method to get PR for something already mostly decided

getting a review like that would have to give you some confidence you were onto something interesting tho - compared to "well done chaps, quite good"

Unhappy with career progress, bring in the marketing research. Taking a noun, CAN, commonly associated with baked beans and, by extension, farting and denominalizing it into the future positive optimistic verb, CAN.
CAN can succeed.
And so they did.

could be construed as Ableist if you were, say, pointing and calling out 'look, The Def Leppard'

Should be Some Talking Heads. I'm surprised no-one has called them out on that. Embarrassing really.

SFF are weak - ramp up the demands and bring back coursing, with Tassie Devils as bait. imagine that! like a combination of greyhounds and Bear baiting. Be huge for tourism. Couldn't see that anywhere else in the world.

I find it disturbing that the ATO would release data exclusively to the ABC - if their data can be presented publicly then it should be available to all the public

just think of them as another party all together - or maybe modern Labor are like a modern Monte Carlo biscuit - shrunken down to improve profit margins

It's not easy. Indoor pigs are goldmine obviously, but once you let them out of the house they lose all incentive to work.

'boomers', is just a term out of marketing with almost no explanatory value. One might as well consult an astrologer

In August before the coup, Kerr visited a nice but relatively obscure station outside Alice Springs that had a few cabins set up for tourists as well. I know because both my partner and I stayed there years later and saw his unmistakeable signature in the guest book.

100% I think One Nation is made up of old Labor voters who dont want to ditch the historical racism.

I think most politicians have context sensitive beliefs. They sincerely believe whatever furthers their goals at the time. I think Albo earlier gained a following by holding leftist/progressive views. When those views stopped being useful he shifted to believing new views to further his goals.

remember it is only the country as a whole that is damaged by this. The politicians making these decisions will not be disadvantaged

I think it's important to keep in mind that politicians act purely out of self interest with no interest in the commonweal other than as a tool for propaganda.
Is difficult to sustain that approach but I find it's the correct approach and makes understanding policy etc much easier and clearer
