The reason I settled on Call It Collect as title for my burgeoning blog stems from two sources. The first being three words written in the sleeve notes to Gil Scott Heron’s 1994 album Spirits. When asked what he called his sound he answered “I call it mine, I call it collect”. This stood out to me, and made me think of that Jim Jarmusch quote that has adorned a thousand MacBook desktops.
“Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination”
On that note I shall now patently steal a regular section from a blog I find myself checking on a daily basis. The blog is the incredi-twee “For Me, For You” – a beautifully presented and personal blog used to promote it’s creators jewellery line. She also runs a weekly feature entitled ‘Bits From My Weekend’, a series of photographs that capture the mood of her two sacred days.
Here is mine.
