ADDICT NORTH AMERICA
when it's good it's good........
Yes yes.
So this is how it works, you make some music, you write some words that fit, you put them together and hope that it's not shit. Then you put the tracks up online cos it's now the future and people don't have to touch something to hear it. And people hear it and they say stuff like, "That's alright man" and "I like that one best". And it feels good.
Then you sort out actually performing the tracks in 'real life' and real time for real people outside in real venues to see how it goes and what it feels like. Friends come and support even though they've heard the tracks 17 million times now and although they do like them it's more about seeing mates do their thing and a good reason to hook up. That feels good too.
The shows go well. That means that some people move while the music plays and faces in the crowd give knowing nods at particular points in a track they like and clapping occurs between, during and after tracks. It feels good.
So you come off stage sweaty and feeling like it's your birthday for about 5 minutes, and on the way back to your mates you pass through people. Some of these people feel to stop you and say, "well done" or "that's was heavy mate" and it feels good.
By the time you get back to your mates and what's left of your guinness it feels like what just happened might not have actually happened. Maybe you saw it on TV or heard about it at a bus stop. There's a feeling in your stomach that you just did something and enjoyed it but can't remember what it was exactly. So you finish your guinness and you give heterosexual hugs to everyone who made the effort to come down and you leave. On you walk home you pass dealers, leansters, hookers, a couple of thugs and plenty of goth revellers. You smile to yourself about how its funny that everyone has a flex and there's loads of different ones to choose from and that you're pleased that for whatever reason it was you chose yours. And when you get home your girl is asleep and your little boy looks like he fell asleep skydiving, spreadeagled face down in his cot and you smile as you go to the shower to wash off the pub smell and by the time you quietly slip into bed everything feels like you've been here all night and the whole world is one room.
Session and The Bear played 'Remedy' at Oh! Bar Camden on the 1st of Feb with 6 piece live band. And it felt good.

BRIZZLE
Just got back form a couple of gigs in Bristol, Cosies on thursday and The Blast @ Dojo's on Saturday, fun was had by all, CTRL-Z smashed it as always (as did Equalizers, standard), weird mix of crowd but no trouble so all good.
Managed to get rinsed by cab drivers, coaches and trains though and now have less money than I went there with!!!!! Why does it cost £50 to get the train from Bristol to London? Thats more than a plane to Barcelona and back!!!!!!!!!
