like most good musicians hirst is someone who produces something good to look
at or listen to.. but he isnt the sort of person youd probably want to meet
or go to the pub with!!
As for kirk degiorgio, he has always come across to me as being 'second rate
detroit', hes made some really nice records (amalia on art is absolutely lush),
but most of his stuff is boring... and i do like subtle music! whenever hes
alongside balil or b12 or whoever on art he always sounds pretty poor.
