about

The final part in a trilogy begun with Snoot Hunt and Granular lol Analysis.

Tracks 1 & 7 were made using a Casio eg-5, the guitar with built in cassette deck and amplifier.

Several of these tracks were the first tracks in collaboration projects that immediately went nowhere and died.

The young lady who appears on track 11 was on the phone to her parents at the table next to me in a pub in 2009. I gathered she felt that she was unpopular among her work colleagues.

Lowering expectations refers to the act of reducing or adjusting one's anticipated outcomes or standards in order to avoid disappointment or frustration. This concept is applicable in various aspects of life, including personal relationships, career pursuits, and general goal-setting. Here are some insights into the idea of lowering expectations:

Managing Disappointment: Lowering expectations can help manage disappointment. When we set unrealistic or overly ambitious goals, we may face disappointment if we fail to meet them. Adjusting expectations to more attainable levels can help in maintaining a positive mindset even when faced with challenges.

Realism vs. Idealism: It's important to strike a balance between being realistic and idealistic. While having high aspirations is admirable, it's equally crucial to recognise the limitations and challenges that may arise. Lowering expectations doesn't necessarily mean settling for less but rather aligning goals with reality.
