| Bandstory: |
I'm a bedroom recordist, a traveling writer, a drifter. I like to drink noisettes in the evening, read the paper and play scrabble. i can play music but don't like to be called musician. i like to paddle wooden boats, slowly. i dislike music written for stadiums. i just fell in love with new orleans again. . there are signs of life all over. last night i danced with a stranger in the veux carre'. she smelled like mildew and then she fled. i wrote a song and put it in a bottle. |
