Spent the night on the couch following a fairly intense session at the osteopath that afternoon. Stumbled across a documentary on Sonic Youth followed by Monkey Dust, I recommend both. Loved the way Sonic Youth doco made their constraints their strengths. They could've very easily given into the fact that they weren't (all) musicians and didn't know how to play instruments in the classic sense, instead this became one of the things that really enabled them to open their music up. Similarly they could've been hamstrung by not having enough money to do exactly what they wanted in the beginning or later ironically, by having enough money to do whatever they wanted.

Showed Michael the exhibition space for the show next year, he said, perfect for me - mix of industrial and snobby makeover, should I be offended?
Showing with my boss, James Robertson (his first show), he's just starting to realise that planning an exhibition is a little like any other undertaking, making the work forms a very small part of the whole proceedings and planning and marketing is a very large part of the whole thing. Plugged away at the easel most of the weekend, with no end in sight. Check out James' photos.

I am driving Michael crazy with my repeatable CD, Somersault by Decoder Ring. I warned him but he didn't quite understand that a repeatable is so named because it gets repeated. It doesn't mean that I play it interspersed with other discs, it means that I play that disc and only that disc until I don't play it any more. Repeatables generally have a life span of 12+ months. They are very difficult to come by and the in-between times are torturous. I haven't had a repeatable for about 18 months. I wish I knew who invented the 'repeat all' button, I'd like to thank them in person.

Here is tonight's work (not finished). I am having a really hard time with the work at the moment as I transition from the last to the next series. (I am experiencing technical problems loading images up, in the meantime, check things out at http://www.flickr.com/photos/famousyet/
