been getting the acclaim you deserve for your work piet? The people in the art department just think I'm dangerous and let me get on with it - which is a compliment of sort I guess. Need to record some noise from train stations and from on the streets to work behind a piece of work I'm doing. You got any thoughts on the best way to record it? And how to make it intense sounding? I know you work in these areas, so I thought it best to ask ta

basically yes, i'm getting some attention the last cpl of months which makes me alerting for tads of narcissicism .
but i've always wondered how it (would) feel(s) like, and how to handle.
if yer like settled in scenes and that

You'll have an extremely sad life, with all that beam and fame and money and blond girls and beach and cocktails, while your soul will be crying silently. Poor man, I don't envy you at all.

I forgot the interviews and the leeches.

ah yeh, that what i wanted ask as well, why do you write (so many) songs about ppl you had trouble with? if i'd do that, i'd have like loads of lyrics. ppl are nobheads generally, nothing special?

I did the right thing and preserved a clear conscience after all. Anyway, all is well

The main compliment I get is generally 'I like your singing' which doesnt make me bigheaded, it just drags me momentarily out of the paranoia that my singing is shit and makes me feel normal for a few minutes until i forget the compliment and start worrying about something else.

 

[DragonLady1]

uh that sounds weird well honest compliments are great, I mean I dont mind too if someone critizes my work in a fair way tho, u can always learn from everything and get new inspirations from other ppl

 

[StevenK]

your singing is really good mick, you shouldnd be paranoid about it.
one thing though, how do you go from that unmistakeable english accent to, well, sing on stage without any hint of an english accent in there, its amazing the change from what i think is a horrible accent to brillaint vocals

 

[Dhatura]

Yeah, that's strange, I had that impression too

 

[Dhatura]

I think it's cause he's a poser on stage

if someone feels like coming down to earth ive no problem to experience your piece of art and make a terrible review out of it

 

[Dora]
