Anybody who knows my vibe at all will know that there have been a fair few members in this band... and now finally we are at the point of true existence... far from the corrupt scene mother music has been thrust upon and sucked dry by... finally i am living under a roof with the people i make music with... it is a dream come true... we have been pursued by "nobler" creatures with "all the gift of the gab" but no substance to back it up.... I hate that don't you... talkers....
I am laying it down on the line now to say that we will be deciding our own destiny.. and in a world where everybody with a mouth seems to know better than you that is something to be desired...
anybody who is starting a band....
do your own thing and it if is ever going to happen it will happen faster than you could possibly imagine... book your own gigs... make your own CD you are happy with and take it to people yourself.... it will work...
We had a gig in the Water Rats about a week ago....
It was the 16th time i have played there and only this time did it really kick off... it felt like a moment when the crowd were making the room shake more than we were and i always love a good old fashioned stage invasion to end a show... and the girls were dancing like it was 1967.. it was mighty contagious and i was caught up in the moment big time
I saw a documentary and Mick Ralphs from Mott the Hoople (a cracking punk/psych/rock cult band from the 70's) was talking about one of their london gigs.... he said "yea it's cool people in london lose themselves now, it didn't used to be like that"
It made me think...
People in london are shit at losing themselves... no offence guys but you are.... we all are.... it's hard unless you are literally caught up in the moment, lost in the music.....
i love the correspondents... because of that... there is a guy onstage giving it all and a hundred percent more, it is completely addictive to watch and very easy to find yourself getting lost in the crowd and dancing like a nutcase... Why do you think they all look so silly dancing to us now when we watch the old 60's and 80's video's.... (unless it was MJ) because THEY DIDN"T CARE... they were on drugs admittedly but.... i think people should wake up and stop doing cocaine and take a wee bit of acid every now and then instead.... have you ever tried listening to music on acid?? Don't knock it till you have tried it it's no more dangerous than crossing the road.....
anyway.. i just think that people need to lose themselves more... in fact.. let me rephrase that... i can feel them wanting, no, needing to lose themselves more....
well that's our vibe and if you want to buy into it... then you can even go so far as to say you have joined this band....
come and give me a hug for gods sake life is too short!!!
we are going to Europe and doing all the festivals...

As ever you prove that one can be young and wise and not in the slightest bit boring x
