There is no more serious business than show business. (Calm the fuck down)

So this kinda carries on from my last blog post.

A recurring thing that's been happening to me this year.  Playing a gig, getting up on stage and really pounding it out.  A few times I have almost cried, cos am a bit of an emotional wreck most of the time.  That's me normal.  ANYWAY.  The chat from some folk off stage is fucking shite.  I mean seariously.  I have spent more time trying to justify why I am doing this to total strangers than I have talking about any sort of music.  So I found myself playing a gig last night with a wifey just SPEWING out industry 'stuff' to me.  People I should check out because they are amazing, people who just got signed cos they are amazing, artists on the same bill as me that I should be excited about because they are amazing.  All wrapped up in a big dollop of  self indulgent 'im in the industry but genuinely care about YOU' chat.  Hmmmmm...

It is excruciatingly boring to be on the recieving end of chat like that.  My inner voice is going mental at me for putting my ear drums through this traumatising ordeal.

So I have devised a plan.  Everyone come to my house ever Saturday night, I will give you two hours of music in exchange for you to PARTY THE NIGHT AWAY!  The more I do the more of you will hear about my musical parties and we will rock the fuck out until dawn.  None of us will ever become rich, or famous, or will ever find it acceptable to wear shades in doors, and we will laugh at all those other twats taking it all so fucking seriously.

Not everone is impressed with 'who you know' or record deals.  We are artists, let's talk about some art?

Okay I think I am done.  Comments below as usual if you'd like to pipe in!
