I'M NOT HERE

Today one of those who are able to rumble spirit and soul, is past away.

Please remember his last advice...

LISTEN TO IT FOR THE FIRST TIME UNDER OPTIMUM CONDITIONS.

Not in your car or on a portable player through a headset.
Take it home.
Get rid of all distractions, (even her or him).
Turn off your cell phone.
Turn off everything that rings or beeps or rattles or whistles.
Make yourself comfortable.
Play your CD
LISTEN all the way trough.
Think about what you got.
Think about who would appreciate this investment.
Decide if there someone who share with it.
Turn it on again.
Enjoy yourself.

  1. Yo Gosh ! Je l'ai découvert suite a sa collaboration avec Jamie XX (We're New Here). Ils ont produit un album vraiment sensationnel (bon evidemment, j'ai pas mal d’affinités avec la musique électronique).

    J'avoue que le Monsieur a la classe internationale et un charisme de malade ! Pareil pour le dessin d'ailleurs !
