@hynek@mastodon.social i figure that people truly appreciate production values (i do!); i also figure if every video takes two weeks to put together, i would never publish a video.

@hynek@mastodon.social fwiw, the reason it took so long to make this video is likely related to the production values. As I tell all my potential girlfriends, lower your expectations. :)

They call Neal Young the godfather of grunge. You might listen to Freedom and say yeah, sure, I get it. But it started much earlier.
