    Sep 15, 20261 min

    <html><p>but perhaps YOU are?</p><p>Gaudí and I have been doing some discussing about new versions of "Do Not Destroy" recently, and this is what we arrived at. (Gaudí must've been the one singing the "yahoos" and making the metronome noises in the middle of this recording, btw, because that certainly wasn't me🤷‍♂️)</p><p>Say, do you happen to know of anybody <em>else</em> going on this expedition who makes versions of "Do Not Destroy" by Cicada Rhythm? Like, besides me? Hint: You might have a lot of things in common with them (like a name, a body, and a perspective)😉</p><p>[This recording will serve as the intro music for future Expedition Update episodes, but I'm not going to go back and edit it in to all of them because, well, frankly, it’s not worth my time right now, and also because it'll be good for you to start learning to pull your own weight. -HK]</p></html>
