Very much like this quote from an interview:

CJ: How would you describe ArtJam to someone who has never heard of it?
Karl: We’ve got this track we do live and it’s called You Do Scribble which comes directly from that. It’s a group of friends that have been jamming together for 27 years now, with music and arts. When we get in a room we feed off each other and inspire each other to make things that we wouldn’t make when we’re on our own. On the walls there will be things that we’ve made, photographs we’ve taken, paintings, drawings that we’ve done over the last year, things that we’ve jammed on the Internet, lifted directly off our website. It’s quite fun. I spent five years in art school and I loved it, I really loved it, but showing your work in galleries in the 70s felt really elitist and I didn’t like that. I come from a quiet family that never went to any art galleries. I loved them but it really intimidated all my mates. In those days if you didn’t go to art school you didn’t know anything about art. I didn’t like that, so I abandoned it for 10 years and turned to music and I thought I’d make it on the radio. And then Rick and I met up with these guys who were different sorts of artists who really inspired us before we met Tomato. What was cool about Tomato was not only were they doing graphic design and advertising but they were real fine artists. They were making stuff just because they felt like it not because they were getting paid for it. That was really cool and really inspiring. There is just something great about working with visual art that takes you on a completely different trip.

Honestly, it makes perfect sense to me and I totally agree with it.
thanks for this.

right, not in this case alone but, this is just one of many reasons why journalism as a whole is on the decline within the last several years (even with news networks like CNN). lots of inconsistencies, lack of due diligence, and quite often unreliable sources.

that is exactly what was being taped by SPIN in the afternoon,
they did ask more questions, but probably editted it for space..

(ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH...........thats me at 0:14-0:16 mark,
sitting down in the corner with the hand on my head)...

whats up with the namechecking, and the description of
the afterparty? to their credit the video is excellent.

a transcript of it , would have been much more informative..
