it is a standard overused cliche.... but that sentence sums up how i
feel about
music... but im not trying to make a living out of music, i in fact dont
want to make a living out of music! i dont write enough songs for a
start, i
write songs because i *enjoy* writing songs and i write the music that i
want to
hear. id like that music on vinyl because im a trainspotter like the
rest of us.
