BLACKTOP CALLING:
Sticker on the number plate of the car in front says ‘HOWL’.
I don’t think of MOVING CASTLE, but the City Lights book shop,
Allen Ginsberg chanting rhythmic obscenities at the wheel of
a 21st century Ford. Texts stream in from around the world as
we pick our way through new material for live, so engrossed
in playing with these lovely people I forgot there was an
actual record or a world beyond the endless snow pinning Essex
down like a 70’s wrestler. I sleep the sleep of contentment,
claw back a little from months of sleepless nights. Today
with Perou, in alleys & brutal concrete underpasses we smell
sweet decay, back in my natural habitat with the eye of his
beautiful lens.

…sat in a real estate seminar all day, drifting in and out…rebellious…the lady on the stage sending soft closes building up to the big close…the road to riches is only a training course away…the Beats knew better…jazz musicians played in my head…Daydreaming…On the road? Pedals, effects, amp…poetic wheels are turning in harmony after a long day. Thank you for your sharing your daily diary.
Went to a show last night to see a couple of guys from Cairo. They even played a famous anthem from ‘95 by the group that graced the same venue and stage with their presence over three years ago. The guys were OK, I suppose.. but they weren’t the Dukes of Essex. Then again no one is.

It’s so fitting on my birthday there would be talk of Ginsberg and Petula. My dad loved Petula and I must’ve been the only child in my neighourhood in the states who counted Don’t Give Up and The Ad amongst their favourite songs….
