I am currently reading a book about the record label 4AD. Twenty-nine years ago this fall, I was introduced to a whole new world of obscure music, which includes my favorite bands of all time: Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins, and This Mortal Coil. It is a great read because it puts into perspective the germination of this unique and much celebrated music label. Not all people know this label or the bands on it, but many of the people I have met, or have gravitated to in my life do like or know of this label. It changed my LIFE, not only have my favorite bands inadvertently been there for me through thick and thin, elated or very sad moments in my life, I always find solace in the music. It is also the music I enjoy playing while I create my art. If the bands only knew who much they mean to me… I thank Ivo Watts-Russell for creating a music label that has changed the life of so many people.
Twenty five years ago I was first tattooed. I always knew I wanted 4AD tattooed somewhere on my body. Here it is! Earlier this year I was able to finally get it done… What a beautiful tattoo, that I am thrilled to have!
