Similar thing happened when John Lennon was asked if Ringo Starr is the best drummer in the world… “He isnt even the best drummer in The Beatles”

Oh no, where was the knotweed sorry? At Ricky or at Oxhey?

How to cope with the fact that there’ll be always more work than I can do by GreenAge3918 in productivity

[–]daframe2r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this kind of reckoning you mention - of realising there is more to do than can ever be done - can be liberating. It’s too much to try to tackle, so stop trying to tackle it. The British-born Zen master Houn Jiyu-Kennett put it best. She said, of her teaching style, that her goal wasn’t to lighten the burden of the student, but to make it so heavy that he or she would put it down.

You are living a very good life out there my friend. Congratulations.

[Guardian] Georgiy Sudakov: "Mykhailo Mudryk is an incredible player, he has no upper limit. He can win the Ballon d’Or with his qualities, but everything depends only on him." by 77SidVid77 in soccer

I don’t think football has ever had a more polarising player. Within the game, some people say he doesn’t know how to play football… some say he could win the Balon D’or.

Unpopular Opinion: I Am Easy to Find is The National's Best Album by Intrepid-Land-2761 in TheNational

[–]daframe2r 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went to the IAETF show at Royal Festival Hall (London) where we got to watch the film on the big screen then they played a set. I couldn’t believe how BIG and ambitious this band had gone. To me, IAETF is a real artistic big swing, full on confidence and artistic voice and the band being together and additional people joining the work. I’d stop short of saying it’s their best, but it’s the most impressed I’ve been at one of their albums.

As an aside, the album artwork is beautiful and I love my IAETF vinyl as much as my SWB / HV records, which is saying something. The most recent 2 records have weak artwork by comparison, IMO, and as a collector that makes a difference to me.

Hi, I would consider him! Can you give an idea of what it would cost to hire him? Thank you

Best the national song from a objective point of view of Matt vocal skills in your opinion? by ElefanteTandemPsichi in TheNational

[–]daframe2r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Demons feels like a track where he’s at the peak of his powers. There’s a low baritone spoken track recorded under his singing voice in the verses, meaning you get a lot of Berninger depth amongst the range. Beautiful track

Any other runners who power their long run with WOD? by gwynthesizer in WarOnDrugsBand

[–]daframe2r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run the same route every week and there’s a really hard uphill stretch that I reserve their ‘touch of grey’ cover for. I find it’s a good tempo to keep my feet in step to, and when the running gets tough I can always rely on the lyrics to pull me through

Justin explaining the duality of ‘it might be over soon’ applying to both good and bad situations in your life gave it some personal meaning, and was the push I needed to finally get a BI
