Duelling Supermarkets
Yet more tracks. Tough Guy is sort of a comic monologue, although probably not actually funny to anyone other than me. Where There is Pressure, on the other hand, is a little fingerpicky faux-folk instrumental. Rank self-indulgence, as usual, but it's keeping me entertained at least.
The latter title is a nod to Hofesh Shecter's Political Mother, which I finally caught up with on Thursday night, a year late -- had tickets last year, but was called away. I liked it a lot, it was big, loud and exciting, if perhaps a bit one-note. Those few occasions when it did shift into a slower more reflective mode were quite a relief. Was tempted to see it again yesterday with the all-too-briefly-visiting Davide, but in the end we just had a few drinks and dinner at The Eagle.
Work proceeding OK. I'm hoping to be pretty much done with chapter 6 by the end of the coming week. Very slightly worried that my incredibly tenuous data may be seized upon by over-optimistic supervisors as demonstrating something other than unmitigated uselessness. That would be tiresome.
