about

in spite of my beautiful singing voice and my rock'n'roll lifestyle none of my few friends ever wants to talk about my music, but they are quite happy to talk about my paintings. I've been painting in a slightly dedicated way for about 4 months now, and I've been making music for about 8000 years. It seems that I am a natural artist and an unnatural musician. Of course I still get complaints about my pictures.

Why are they always all of a field and a hedge and a blue sky with little fluffy clouds ? Why are they always so symmetrical ? Why don't I do a painting of them - ie their face ? They might as well ask me why I don't make a prog rock album. I have been making music long enough now to have actually learnt a bit about how music is made - and in music it's a disadvantage to know anything about how it "should" be done. Fortunately I don't have a clue how to paint "properly", which is why right now my paintings are quite good.

I love that naivete. I've been trying to recapture it in my music - not so much with this one, but with another one which is bubbling along in the background, lots and lots of very short very simple very lazy tracks. Always I yearn to regress. It's a tightrope that slopes steeply downhill and is impossible to stay on - knowing that the only good things anyone ever makes are exciting and simple and daring and make a million enemies but if you've ever met another human being you will know that doing anything that impresses them is a sign that you've done something rubbishier than the previous thing.

recorded today, cover painting (unfinished) today
