interesting article #131

......

Since his departure from Blur in 2001, Coxon has ditched the liqour, gone on happy pills and rejected them, reassessed his priorities, focused on his daughter Pepper, bought a lot more shoes, had two galleries exhibited his art, and written a tune inspired by Meryon by abstract painter Franz Kline ( he describes it as "vibrations, an electronic conversation"). All the while, his last two albums have seen him emerged as an endearingly awkward pop chart contender.

Free from his addiction and Blur committments, Coxon has become hungry for time, if he had more of it, he says, he would fix up his barn in the countryside, unstiffen his paintbrushes, and learn how to be a tailor or cobbler, or both.
