I've been catsitting Heather's cats during the holidays, a chance to get out of the city slush and dirt and spend some quiet time with a couple of cool cats and watch cable television and work on writing some songs in a different atmosphere. Sometimes when I'm really out of it and laying in bed staring at the ceiling I don't know if I'm really 10 centimeters or 10 feet from the ceiling. And sometimes I see things moving. Today is the last day I am at Heather's place, it's driving me bonkers not having a nice stereo system. A person needs a good sound system. A real sound system with a turntable and lots of power and bigass speakers to move some real air.

Bailey the Bugcatcher has decided that a guitar case is a nice place to set up residency in. I don't blame him. It's the perfect size for him and it's soft and fluffy inside so I'm sure it's very comfortable for him. I love Bailey the Bugcatcher because he doesn't take any shit and he's not scared to stand up to humans. The little fucker will bite you if you fuck with him too, it's great that he has that wild ornery streak inside of him. Sometimes he'll walk up to a person and bite them! He's bit me on the nose when I was sleeping a few times, and if your toes are sticking out from under the sheets and are moving he will get them. And for whatever reason, if you are walking around talking on a telephone he attacks your feet! I think it's important, in a cat, to keep and encourage that wild fighting attack streak if they have it in them. Just like a kid, they should have a little bit of fight inside of them. The other cat I'm catsitting is cool, but is more aloof and remote and pretty much does his own thing. This cat, Bailey, is moody and aggressive and hissy and I love him for it. I've sat there and stared at him, right in the eyes, stared and stared and stared, until he got up and walked over and clawed the hell out of my foot. That's the way a cat should be.

Working on writing songs. Making something out of nothing. The whole process involves sinking oneself into the subconscious, like scuba diving into the depths of the psyche. I've always found the Jean Luc Godard film One Plus One fascinating because it documents the Rolling Stones hammering one of their best songs into shape, you get to watch it go from an idea to a vague skeleton of a song to the finished product. If you've never seen the film, or if you're loooking for a way into the world of torrent files, I'll make it really easy. 1) You need a good free torrent file client, you can download Bit Tornado from
here. You need a good torrent viewer, you can download a good free torrent viewer here. Then you just have to find the file, and I'll help you out by pointing the way to one I know works here. It's a fascinating film, it shows how out of it Brian Jones really was at the end of his life and how a band hammers a song together together.
This building I'm catsitting in is quiet and civilized and adult, quite unlike my own apartment downtown where you can let the jams run free. I recorded this video, a Stones song, in the bathroom because of the acoustics and the darkness.
And here, just for Winkie, is the other other cat I'm catsitting.
