Playing instruments with other people

Structural unemployment comes for us all; drummers are just... Early

I was at the forefront / bleeding edge of the "leisure generation", but at some point it involved more work to be be unemployed to the point where it was just easier to get a job

edit: anyone who has been on the "dole" in the UK may know where I'm coming from ( i.e, RESTART, 6 month pointless and fruitless training courses hosted by third party contractors where you're just sat in some brutalist building doing fuck all but you have to leave the house at eight in the morning, when you'd rather be sleeping in to three in the afternoon and doing drugs, etc., )

you just devote all your brainpower to developing one stupid little part.

yeah the furrow-browed hammering of the one-note bassline as the apotheosis of auteurist bandmanship...

I remember an amusing moment on late night telly when some interviewer asks damon albarn if his lyrics on some song were about heroin and the drummer chimes in and with immaculate timing says "my drumming is about heroin".

it looks gross playing music with people. little knowing smiles at each other, hey, we're in the groove, together.

We could have a thread on all the things luka considers gross:

- kissing
- bacon
- pleasure
- life...

I've went to lukes house and we had a jam session. so i ran through a 12 bar blues while he banged his bongos. when we finished luke had tears in his eye's and said thank you @woops. i never knew where music came from until now.
