14:09||Season 2, Ep. 1Good morning, Hobo Sapiens. I've had a break and now it's time to think out-loud again. This year has not been the most enjoyable for people with my sort of work - we're all trying to work out how relevant we are as to how relevant we feel - and the two very rarely meet up. This is a re-cap of what's been happening in the break and what's to come - including recording album 16/40: Calm Down! this weekend coming and doing a live stream show on FB on Thursday 01st October.
