The power of the internet. Rosie and Me is a great, thoughtful, beautiful group from Brazil.  They write songs that put me to sleep, songs that keep me awake and songs that make me grab my guitar and get better. I met Rosanne through Soundcloud, which I had just jumped on a the time because I heard of it through a friend and thought I should test it out.  I threw a few tracks up there, not...

Developing Your Creative Practice: Tips from Brian... →
“The difficulty of always feeling that you ought to be doing something is that you tend to undervalue the times when you’re apparently doing nothing, and those are very important times. It’s the equivalent of the dream time, in your daily life, times when things get sorted out and reshuffled. If you’re constantly awake work-wise you don’t allow that to happen.

For a second this afternoon I started get frustrated and was thinking that I shouldn’t have to...

Pete, on Tetris as a metaphor for life
“So you never really ‘win’ - no matter who you are or how well you play, the end is always the same.  You never know what pieces you’re going to get, and all you can do is find the best place for that piece at that time.  The pieces just keep falling, and as it goes on they just fall faster and faster, and your options for each become more and more limited.  Sometimes,...
