No Move https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22May16_Post.mp3 Most people are lazy. Or rather, everybody is lazy. This is good. Very good. If our ancestors weren’t lazy, we would have gone extinct.

Silver Love Linings

Magnetize Your Personality
Dismal Baby https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Feb22_Post.mp4 A basic idea in economics is everybody has unlimited wants and needs.

Define And Manage Reality
Not Stone https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Feb15_Post.mp4 Meaning is very flexible. But this doesn’t mean it’s easy. Metal is flexible under the right conditions.

Become The Prize For All Women
Guitar Hero https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Dec27_Post.mp4 I’m a huge fan of Led Zeppelin. Now, and way back when I was in college. Once, a long time ago, I was at a party. And some guy I was talking to casually mentioned he’d seen Zeppelin in concert. I eagerly listened as he described it. […]
