Discovered an excellent Electro Indie Trio just now via an Interview with Everything Everything frontman Jonathan. I hurriedly followed the link and discovered several tunes,all great and a welcome distraction from the head melting amount of acronyms I’m having to learn for my new job/career/distraction from what I really love/enabler to get bigger mortgage and or debt.

I’m going to be working in front-line Healthcare driving 3.5 tonnes of vehicle that may or may not have reflective bits on it.Still need to pass the course,then survive 9 months without too much incident. It seems to attract ex military types (of which there are many in the service) who do well with clear objectives,and creative types who procrastinate too much,but I’m in after a good few attempts and feeling too old,bald and self conscious to haul my grunge funk around the toilets of the capital,although that will no doubt change once I have broken the gigging duck with an acoustic show or two.

Anyway back to that band.!

Further down the rabbit hole.! I am now on the Facebook,a quick scan of their latest musings lets me know..

They split up in 2012.

Below is a link to the bands farewell blog, my favorite quote “Spite and jealousy of shit bands doing better than us is an unhealthy petrol to drive a band on, so it made sense to stop.”.

70% of these philosophical e-cards that pop up in my Facebook stream often make me wonder how people would absorb the thoughts and ideas of someone such as Charles Bukowski,who appears to have produced work a little more anarchic,blunt and nihilistic than the standard ‘Its Friday here is a smiling Cat!’ fare that pops up in your feed (I speak from an ignorant standpoint having not ready any of his work, yet). Someone posted a Youtube video of one of his poems and Inspired me to find some of his quotes,hence the link above.I’m a sucker for quotes from famed folk,let us not forget us everyday mortals are capable of such thought and conversation with others used to be an exchange of ideas.Finding something you don’t know need not be reduced to that first Google search page Sir.! Take the opportunity during a drunken night out to test the philosophical capabilities of your companions,be they friend or workmate.

I love his thoughts on waiting for creative inspiration and not forcing it,how many musical artists operating in the current time abide by that principle? I’m thinking Kate Bush and the recently resurfaced David Bowie, and many other working beneath the coal face who don’t feel obliged to service the rapacious ‘old in an hour’ nature of the internet where a moments mistake can be an active URL for Lord knows how long.

Anyway,that has cleaned out my ranting pipes for a while.Who needs therapy eh.?
