Record Club: INXS – Kick

How the heck did I not know about this. Beck gets together with his ridiculously talented pals to just play music – a cover of a cd with no prep but really great production value – awesome.

His vimeo stream is here. Most recent Record Club is actually covering Yanni but Michael Hutchence-era INXS has a special place in my heart. Enjoy!

One Word

Was having a chat with Laura and James from Writers’ Block NE a really cool new creative space in Middlesbrough. We were talking about different Internet tools…I remembered that I had done a post about various forms of constrained writing.

A neat website I hadn’t looked at in ages is oneword.com. You get a word and sixty seconds….start writing and don’t think to hard about it. When you’re done you can get what you’ve written emailed to you or just try another word.

Today’s attempt:

word: miles

miles and miles to go before I sleep…anagram for slime…or limes which smells better…

Think I need more practice : )

new mission should I choose to accept it: creation over consumption
