“More wine!”

Mia Farrow. Oh sure. She’s stable. Just like her kids. Especially the one hysterically crying on TV. Right on cue. Bravo. Well done. Someone get her an agent.

Brad Slitt’s pet opossum eating grapes is the cutest thing.  Turn the volume up. Her munching sounds are adorable. Someone get that fluffy little girl more grapes. Pronto! 

I’m listening to the Yoshida Brothers while drawing. https://youtu.be/Tkz0d60JYuA

Years ago my oldest brother was dating/living with a girl who drove me absolutely insane. She was super hyper. Talked incredibly fast and loud. And every day when she came home from work she blasted Japanese opera on the stereo for a good solid two hours. Back then she was this very skinny, short haired white girl who you could easily mistake as a clean functioning crack addict if you didn’t know better. I assume she’s still white but lord Jesus who knows. She drove me crazy. The first time I met her I had planned to visit with my brother for 2 weeks. Because of this girl he was living with, I ended up visiting with my brother for 5 days. I could not wait to get the fuck out of there.

Japanese opera is the worst “music” on the planet. I’m a tenor. I like tenors. Andrea Bocelli all the way. My voice in normal conversation is very soft. Lily Taylor, soft. I can’t stand loud and high pitched voices. Drives me crazy. BUT I love meditating and drawing to the Yoshida Brothers. Would I watch the Yoshida Brothers in concert? Not on your life. But I happily buy their music. They’re a huge part of my creative process as of late. I stare at a blank sheet of drawing paper, pop open a bottle of wine, play the Yoshida Brothers, and within 15 minutes images in my mind appear on the blank sheet of paper. It makes me laugh afterwards because I think of my brother’s ex-girlfriend (what’s her name?) every time. She ended up dumping my brother because he wouldn’t marry her. 

(Thank god he didn’t marry her!) 

Anyway

Greta Van Fleet said their musical inspiration comes from Aerosmith. (Aerosmith??) Um. Are you sure? Have you guys heard yourselves play? Not quite Aerosmith. Guess again. Go ahead. Guess. We’ll wait.


Even your videos are so NOT Aerosmith 


C’mon!
