Reed: HYPERLINK “http://www.colchsfc.ac.uk/art/Barnett%20Newman%20-%20Adam.jpg” \t “_blank” http://www.colchsfc.ac.uk/art/Barnett%20Newman%20-%20Adam.jpg
Dirk: oh ok
Reed: yeah, I dont think i’m in good company liking her, but i think you should give her another chance maybe… I love how anti-commercial her art is, and how it’s turned commercial, it really walks a great area to think about in art
Dirk: are you renting a painting studio
Reed: and plus, it’s like graffiti or trash or automatic painting, but it’s also like religious painting
yeah
Dirk: where abouts
Reed: i don’t know, i’m in the market
Dirk: i thought you were coming back here

Dirk: it has windows
Reed: I’m only going to come back when i have enough money to get tim to record me
tons of windows, it’s a corner room I think
Dirk: sweet
tim might record you for free
just say “look, tim, yr gonna record me for free, alright”

Reed: well, I think I need to pay him so it will get done in a timely manner
and plus, it’s his job and he should be able to make money from it
no he did not
Dirk: no, see, you just say”tim, look, were gonna finish this right f*cking now, alright”
