very sad to come across news today that john lurie has "some kind" of lyme disease and can no longer make music or act in movies. he says he's been busy painting. His description of music in this interview sounds like the room i'm talking about sonic youth building for me.
M: Do you find painting as satisfying as making music?
JL: When music is perfect and the band is hovering above the stage and roaring forward with a ferocity and love that cannot be denied, then music can be beyond satisfying. I have never had the experience of visiting God’s house for a little while with painting.
i hope i get his book for my birthday...and a print someday.
