So, to get to grips with my new ukulele, I have been learning other people's songs, this time Waving at You by the Mountain Goats. It felt like an appropriate song to sing so I sung it. I must say right now that I think the Mountain Goats are probably the most influential artist in my life over the past few years and the way that their/his music has comforted, inspired, challenged and counseled me has in large part defined my own approach to and beliefs surrounding the role of art making. Shunning creation as a culmination of academic research and the art object as a cypher for an already cryptic theoretical study, I have come to understand the work of art as a means of sharing experience that we might help each other learn and grow and bear up under the weight of life. So, thanks John! Anyway, here's the video:
