A couple weeks ago, I recorded a band called Brighten Up. It was a cool experience for me as they have a much different setup than I'm used to working with. 2 synths, drumpads, floor tom, snare, cymbal, guitar, lots of looping and lots of effects.

People make decisions based upon emotion and a variety of heuristics*, rather than logic. I've been reading a lot of books about social psychology in order to try to understand the types of unconscious decision-making processes that people use. I've always had trouble with relationships in which I rely on anyone else to any extent, so I've been trying to figure out how exactly people are operating, rather than falling back into the "man everyone is such a fucking idiot" trap that I've been stuck in since like sixth grade or whatever.

Would you like more divulgenece?

*I don't mean that this is a bad thing, as intuition and gut feelings often outperform carefully considered expert opinion in many areas. If you're feeling literary, give Gut Feelings by Gerd Gigerenzer a read. This is one of our current book club books.

I'll explain the situation to you sometime. There's just no more room for this shit in my life. I am mentally incapable of dealing with it.
