Chasing music

John Cooper Clarke via last.fm

There I was all set and ready to get some writing done. I decided to just catch up with someone on facebook and three hours later I still hadn't started writing what I had intended.

First of all there was something on Joy Division, which led to a youtube video of an old clip of Joy Division which happened to have as the intro and outro a poem by John Cooper Clark. A great punk poet, which of course meant I had to go and find out if he was still about. This led to a few more videos and then time to find some of the genre, which of course didn't quite go according to plan as I saw a link to a new online audio mixing tool, which necessitated my joining the site and having to play with that for a while.

I can't believe I only wasted three hours, but was it wasted?

No, I came back to write, energised and enthusiastic, managing to get four articles written in short shrift.

Chasing music can be good for you.
