"Momentum exists, and it’s going to latch onto something—the question is, what?" In this episode, Lyndon and Breallyn explore the neutral force of momentum and how the "drifting" of daily life often carries artists away from their true creative goals. Inspired by the blunt insights of Grammy-winning producer Billy Hume, it's a look at the work ethic required to keep your art moving forward when life tries to pull you off course.

What does it take to make anything in an attention economy that never seems satisfied?

In this episode of Pain In The Arts, Lyndon and Breallyn wander through the strange theatre of making work online - where everyone’s performing, the algorithm is always hungry, and it’s not entirely clear who you’re supposed to be talking to anymore. Along the way, they compare the high-output churn of the manosphere to the slower, more observational approach of Louis Theroux.

Somewhere in the middle of it all, another idea takes shape: maybe the answer isn’t to shout louder, but to step aside. To build something smaller, quieter, and more deliberate.

What if the question holding artists back isn’t “Is this good?” but the habit of asking it at all?

In this episode of Pain In The Arts, Lyndon and Breallyn explore a reframe inspired by Samuel Mead: replacing “Is this good?” with “Is this good for me?” The “Is This Good For Me” question shifts attention away from external approval and back toward the artist’s own experience of making the work.
