Very cool article below about how the drummer from Phish learnt to deal with fame.

I like the takeaway, ‘Damnit, be kind.’

Really excited to be ‘playin in the band’ again on Sat May 14th.

It’s been forever since we played LIVE at a real venue (our last show was at the Mod Club – Dec 14, 2019). In fact, so long that the Mod club is no longer a place, it’s now called Axis Club.

So, it’s pretty amazing that we now get a chance to play at the new El Mocambo which is now fully renovated from when we played there almost 10 years ago.

Our first show together at Mars Hotel was on June 9, 2012 at the El Mo.

Check out these pics of the new stage:

And tickets are moving fast so it’s likely to sell out. Tickets are on sale here.

We also created some merch for the show, so feel free to have a look at our online store.

Hope to see you there!

This is a cool article about how The Beatles influenced Pink Floyd.

Two amazing bands intersecting at a pivotal moment in time.

This is a really great breathing exercise which I use all the time. When you do it right before bed, it helps a ton.

I do about 20 repetitions. Works every time for me. Good luck!

This is a really cool article about how “Neanderthal Teeth Reveal an Ancient Dread of Winter”

Be glad you’re alive during the age of heating because being huddled together in a cave during the cold winter doesn’t sound too pleasant.

“Still, hurricane-induced natural selection seems like the best explanation for these findings,” Losos says.

Have a read over this neat study and judge for yourself.

Thanks for the inspiration Elon.

It’s easily summed up as…

Optimize opportunities vs ass-covering.

While recently I’ve read a lot about AI and how it could benefit humanity (https://iq.intel.com/artificial-intelligence-is-good-for-society/) it’s typically been in articles produced by those who have the most to gain by replacing humans or the ones selling AI tech like FB, Microsoft and Amazon.

Believe me, it’s not that I don’t love the idea of robots doing ‘smart’ work on behalf of the human race, I just think that’s being a little bit naive as to how they might be deployed. I’m on the same page as Elon Musk who warns that AI, if not contained now, could be a very big problem in the future.

It seems to be the general sentiment that, “autonomous weapon systems threaten to become the third revolution in warfare. If developed, they will permit armed conflict to be fought at a scale greater than ever before, and at timescales faster than humans can comprehend,”

Yikes! Better safe than sorry, no?

Will AI be the end of us?
