you learn something new everyday...

you learn something new everyday... thixotropy, for example, is the scientific word for that thing cornflour does... (also ketchup and catsup but NOT toothpaste, which is something completely different) ...aren't words great? but it would appear that, even at this early juncture, i have become distracted...

so...

watched this video for the first time in an age the other day... always loved the song, as does kenyon and there's many a fond memory of hangin' out around the back of the vic (foundry... whatever) in ole sunny dudley, drunkenly singin' it and busting our own "crazy" moves... halcyon days

i also remember that as a youngster, i was a lil' confused about which one was actually paul simon... why wouldn't he be the singin' guy in the white coat, but you know i was like really small...

i know that the graceland album definitely had some kind of effect on my song-writing, parts of it are properly seared onto my brain... (had it on vinyl and everything!)

but the other day i realised a couple of new things...

first off, that juicy reversed snare... loves them i does, and if you've ever listened to any of my electronic stuff... they're all over that (the reverse snare is a beautiful noise!!)

but more importantly, i realised just how many moves i swiped... yea, it was with a slight sense of horror that i realised some of my 'moves' may have been influenced by the chase... read into that what you will, but there are some definite similarities in the delivery right about there (i am a bit more manic, but you'll see what i mean...)

read into that what you will... i'm not sure of the exact degree of direct influence von chase, it may just be a style of presentation... i'm not really sure, its like the joker says... "i'm just a dog chasing cars..."

i do know that to look at... it brings us neatly back to the f word...

fun

you can never take yourself too seriously

had me a lot of fun on saturday night when i played at the cross keys in good ole' MK... brief burst of thang-shakery, and general fb randomness... a bit of a surprise gig, but it was definitely good for a giggle...

new sneakers too!! bwoi done love them sneakers... (happy time)

but anywho, today i learnt a lil' bit more about my own music...
