Wayne won't like this - but its an age thing basically. I don't know much about Arcade Fire - I'm guessing they're just being young. that's what the young do. you can stretch it out a while but eventually it changes.

and when you've been as innovative or original as Beck or The Lips or Bjork you get a placing that means you aren't the same as your contemporary's (who weren't as wild, courageous or world changing as you) but you can't compete in the same way with the new younger ones. But why would you want too?

I talk about Wayne like I know him - I don't - I do know Kliph who drums with The Lips but I wouldn't say I was a friend. I was close with his then girlfriend (she's an awesome woman - I know she loved Kliph back then but I can't help thinking that she was meant for more really) at the time he first got with The Lips back in 2002. Funny old times back then - full of internet innocence Everybody is just a person, that's all. WIth their own fears and insecurities. On the internets theres a hyping genre - we just want to believe in something bigger than ourselves really. kind of a Godcomplex.

Start the tour on Sunday.

yes - definately and ArtFist is a really good mag. Content's great and they put it together well. Very professional lot too. It's going to do well. Nice to be involved in the early stages.

Yeah. and it's nice getting appreciated on my own merit.

and yes. it's gawking driven. I know.

I over tweeted today also. I got carried away. I can't even tweet an apology. So I'm saying it here.

I admit it. I'm a tweeting loser.

this is just very funny to me. I keep thinking about Luke interviewing him over the years.
I think the blue one is actually dangerous.

the one on the left is kind of a fail isn't he? he'll be booted out shortly. but he'll pretend he left of his own accord.

Thanks Gabby

you get this moment when you're a mature artist and it's like putting on a new coat. One that grown up's wear - only, you find that it does suit you - so you realise - jeez, I'm a grown up too.

I like seeing your sketches - you have a very female - but not twee style - it's pretty sophisticated. I'd like to see you do something bigger - I mean like an artists book or a piece of sculpture or something - do you know what I mean?

notice how I said 'downlow'

I also caught myself saying 'cyberspace' and 'rad' to a group of 4 LeedsMet students who I'm mentoring over a web campaign and design brief at the mo.
Fortunately I pointed out my mistake before they did so I may have just squeaked through without setting off the uncool alarms. Which are pretty fucking hefty when they go off - I can tell you.

glad you got to see some of it. I like wandering a long way from home at night with a camera - kind of a glorious loneliness too it admist either what turns out to be a night alive or complete stillness. But thats the romantic talking who doesn't go on as many world wanders anymore so I'm likely seeing it all through rose tinted specs.

I don't know - do they? the begonia or the amarylis?

It's so good seeing all the sprouting going on now that springs sprung!

If my advocado starts to germinate I'll do some kind of creative celebration I think :)

well, the digital kid's only 12 so I reckon he's got more than enough time to hit some ooomff.

I'm not jetsetting continents as much as you but I'll be in London shortly for some work and a bit of play before heading off to Madrid for play and a bit of work so I'm not sure if I'll be back in Yorkshire when you're in Harrogate. That said I do pop over every so often for a day in the turkish baths - so you never know.

you never did say what you were doing in Chennai

Hmm, but at base level he's right. It's the infrastructure that needs spending on. But we're a risk averse nation so I wasn't expected any great wonders or revelations from this.

I've changed the dysconnected tumblr so it's more accessible viewing on mobile format. Besides wanting a lighter feel to it.

Ok - so the dysconnected tumblr is my work one. It's accessble through the Online Directory of Mental Health services in Leeds. I write it for the strategists, Chief Exec's, Direct Workers and those with mental health needs in Leeds. Who due to my role know me. I'm the overseeing eye I guess.
It's an online journal in the crossovers of web 2.0 and mh which is a new field.

Because it's new and my perspective is from an information provision vantage point I sometimes need to think outloud. So I seem to be using this space a bit for that. This space was more for my creativity - which is also about art and whatnot. Plus - part of what I do is about introducing some of the introspective aspects of the mh world to the outside world and seeing how people engage with the ideas.
Basically - this is where I work stuff out, observe stuff and learn and the other is where I am more thoughtully focusing some of that (and other learning) for the specific users.

Long answer. Sorry!

India exciting?

freedom fighting within the mental health system is probably crazy. Therefore. I think it might just work.

very good button. I like pressing buttons.

Let me guess. You're in Chennai?
