I believe that music ties moments together and carries us on a flow that allows us to be truly present, so it really gets on my tits when people talk through gigs, I mean, why are they there? you don't get people who are indifferent to art jumping up and down obscuring the view in Galleries do you! Nothing gives me greater pleasure than to get into the music and to find company in that moment, no words necessary! That's why I'm involved with staging music, it deserves to be taken seiously and it gives me the right to tell people to shut up.
I don't agree with settling for distraction, to allow myself to be turned off is not an option, I refuse to stagnate in front of the TV, to listen to gossip, to comfort read or be hooked by a catchy tune! I look for company in all things natural and in the words, pictures and music of artists experiencing real emotions. I revel in conversations with a good point of view and the company of inquisitive people generally, but when it comes to intense, there can be no reason to take things that seriously!! I have an unfaltering belief that there is always a way, annonyingly optimistic in some peoples eyes I'm sure, but nothing of what we're supposed to worry about has actually happened yet and anything that has happened has obviously not been final. The minds a powerful thing, so why fuck with it? Surely to have any hope of happiness the only thing to be considered right now is the best way forward! We are at the start, what we gonna do?
I'm just getting back into the guitar, which to be honest is a revelation, just for the sake of playing and to get involved. I'll annoy you with me bongos as well, any chance I can get! Fin's me boy, a more beautiful child you could not wish to meet, I'm very proud to be his Daddy. Obviously without mummy I'd be a lot less free!
I've decided that with this page I'm only going to accept people as friends, musicians, song writers artists yes, bands no i'm afraid. However my 'Pollen8 music' myspace page is there for exactly the opposite reason, to meet new bands. Please read my blog about Pollen8, it's a good thing.
