About Me

"Finding really good music is like falling head over heels for someone; one minute you haven't got a clue that its even out there and the next minute it fills every corner of your existence and you cant imagine yourself having ever lived without it."
"I do not agree that the layman's opinion is less of a valid judgement of music than that of the professional musician. In fact, I would often rely more on the judgment of the sensitive layman than that of a professional, since a professional, because of his constant involvment with the mechanics of music, must fight to preserve the naivete that the layman already posseses."
- Bill Evans
"The midnight disease is a kind of emotional insomnia; at every conscious moment its victim - even if he or she writes at dawn, or in the middle of the afternoon - feels like a person lying in a sweltering bedroom, with the windows thrown open, looking up at a sky filled with stars and airplanes, listening to the narrative of a rattling blind, an ambulance, a fly trapped in a coke bottle, while all around him the neighbors soundly sleep.  This is my opinion why writers - like insomniacs - are so accident prone, so obessesed with the calculus of bad luck and missed oppertunities, so liable to rumination and a concomitant inhabitlity to let go of a subject, even when urged repeatedly to do so."
- Michael Chabon, Wonderboys.
