Wednesday, 06 June 2001 | Blank

Yesterday I got a call from Richard, who gave me the task of filling in one of the last blanks in a song he's writing. I had to come up with a place in London that rhymes with ground or brown or something to that effect. Using the resources at my disposal—a tube map and a pillowcase with a map of London on it—I completed the song with the words "Camden Town." Granted, it's not a full line, or even a nice analogy or something like that—I just provided a name. Even still, it'll be nice hearing the song played Saturday night and seeing how those words fit in the larger context. (I haven't even heard the line it's being used in, which goes to show the amount of creative input I had.)
