Lackadaisical: adjective-lacking spirit or liveliness; lethargic; listless; languid.
It's June, a September thesis deadline, and that word deadline is starting to sound strangely ominous. My research has taken me away from producing art work for this project. Love my title though: How to Make a Band Dangerously Cool, but there won't be anything close to dangerous (not to mention cool) if the cover is lackadaisical. Face to face with what the creative process means and how it works (at least for me). I've always found it sterile, without inspiration, to just sit in front of a piece of paper (or document) and expect genius to pour out. Instead, it happens when the light shines on or out from those unexpected places at those unforeseen times. Can't tell you what was shining at that moment, but I had an idea for my cover that has to do with vintage guitars, Johnny Cash and a symbolic gesture.

Hmmmm... wondering what the symbolic gesture will be? What was the name of that record shop we always went to that doesn't exist anymore? It was on "the drag" - Utopia? I can't remember. Flipping through all the albums there was always quite a spiritual experience. CD covers and iTunes thumbnails just don't do it for me like those record store trips.
so right! reminds me of that john hughes' film pretty in pink scene where andie met blane in a record shop. it was just the perfect pretense thumbing those records to ask andie out... great love story.
