totally understand where you come from. BUT at the same time an artist must surely create? I see no creation, or at least I see no will to create meaningfully. I hear a bunch of half arsed songs on dodgy bootlegs. Okay, so he no longer has anything relevant to say, in which case, stop pretending you have, and shut the f**k up.

To me, art has to reflect life back at me, and that depends upon my 'state of mind', so on different days I accept different art, I give it all that first chance though.

To me, I'm hyper-analytical and impervious to art in most forms. When something gets through to me, I don't question it.Swinnow wrote:To me, art has to reflect life back at me, and that depends upon my 'state of mind', so on different days I accept different art, I give it all that first chance though.
I do wonder about art as communication vs as a one-sided expression. And I wonder a lot about where the talent really comes in...vision or execution or even manipulation of perception.
I am moved by someone who wants desperately to create but can't manage to manifest anything objectively worthwhile. (We've all known such people.) I'm less moved by someone who willfully doesn't create. I admire your ability to give it all a chance. I usually dismiss it all instantly as s**t unless proven otherwise.

By 'trade' I'm a pharmaceutical chemist, with a growing bias to quality assurance, so I'm as analytical as you get lol

And how influential were the Sisters in your career choice? Inquiring minds want to know.

Well, I arrived in Leeds to go to college after Andrew (arrived) but before Wayne, though met both of them for the first time in the same pub.

Smiley -- the plans for a little kidnap caper are a secret. It's the only way we'll ever get a new record. And I'll take very good care of AE 
and keep him away from bouncy castles.

It could be said that it would be a little kidnap, as you possibly could fit the target in your coat pocket.

Too right, the previous Ms Swinnow did observe that he was "short in the arse" and I did laugh, 'cos Ju was only 5'3" herself.

I've called him shortarse too and I'm 5ft!

I'd say he's about 5'6" or 5'7". He's 3-4 inches taller than I am. And about 80 stones lighter.

No I didn't say that to him. I had better things to ask him! Bless Von and all the shorties!!Microcosmia wrote:Did you say it to him or about him ?elamanamou wrote:I've called him shortarse too and I'm 5ft!

When you inevitably kick the bucket do you really want Vision Thing to be your last official full-length musical statement?

On this note, when you inevitably kick the bucket who would you nominate to record music to your select live vocal tracks for all unreleased Sisters songs since the 90s so that fans can finally buy that gold.headcleaner2k wrote:When you inevitably kick the bucket do you really want Vision Thing to be your last official full-length musical statement?
