Kid Confucius, final show @the Annandale 2010.














This is a great video by Ira Glass talking about how to produce great stories but it is pretty applicable to all kinds of creative ventures.


His advice is quite simple, you will basically get better with your work over time by constant practice and
The video series reminds me of Malcolm Gladwell's theory of 10,000 hour rule. By doing anything long enough say 10,000 hours, you will eventually become a pro at whatever you do (read more on - Outliers.)


I found this clip by my always interesting content seeking friend Ash. 


If you are interested in how to further improve your creative ideas, this video will be a great resource.


Enjoy.

Nick and Sweetie, Lions at your door  2010.

lions at your door @the Annandale supporting Kid Confucius's final show last Saturday.
I haven't seen such a tight show from all the bands in such a long time. 


The night was finished off with an exceptionally entertaining set by the guys in Kid Confucius. 
It was almost too emotional to see them bow and farewell the fans after their epic 90min set.

Ever since I watched "This is England" a few weeks ago.
I have been very attached to the history of skins - short for skinheads.
The common perception of the cultural movement has largely been stigmatised to racism but I am glad with a bit more research I had came across this documentary produced in 95' entitled "World of Skinheads" 

For anyone who is curious about the origins of skins, it is definitely worthwhile and the insights from the film will definitely surprise and educate you.



enjoy
