Sitting Under A Tree with Aidan Jones Aidan Jones

The idea of music being a literal language for communicating in the same way that English or French is can feel kind of trite, but I genuinely believe that it's true. Not in a metaphorical sense, but in a very literal and true way, music is a different way of communicating shit that we feel to each other. It's completely unique among all other languages in that almost every person in the world has an intuitive understanding of it, and the same music can connect in the same way with people from different cultures. How cool is that!

I've done so much stuff this week! And I feel like I've been pretty relaxed about it as well. I copped a pretty big reminder a few weeks ago to just slow it right down, and I'm trying to listen. I mean I say that, but then here I am putting the podcast up at a quarter to midnight on Tuesday again ahahaha.

I've been working all week and it's actually been great! Still happy! Still loving working on the show. Going to Cairns on Friday which I am trying to tell myself will be really nice even though I somehow resent the fact that I'm going to be away from work ahahaha I really struggle to take time to relax and do nothing. Right now, I need to go to bed.

The weather is perfect, I've got two days off work, and I've just come off the back of a week of wonderful gigs in my beautiful home of Melbourne. It doesn't get much better than this, folks.

Spent a lot of time in my head today just ruminating on shit while I drove the bus. Some of that time was relatively well spent thinking about jokes that I ended up doing on stage at an open mic tonight. Some of that time was less productive. It was all just time though, right? Yeah man, time is crazy hey. Woah!

There's a new bakery on my street in Coburg! I mean, it's not new, it's been there for a year or so, but I just found out that they do sandwiches. Huge game-changer. I'm back in Melbourne now and I flipped my room around today, damn it feels good.
