Pondering The Significance of Foodstool

Some of you fine folks might be wondering why there is a picture of a stool over by my profile information. If you aren’t wondering, stop reading now.

Well, that is a snap of my beloved Foodstool. Why the name, Matt? I’m glad you asked. My dinner plate used to sit atop this wondrous creation, as our coffee table is a bit too low to the floor for me to eat comfortably.

It also doubled as the stool in my low budget bedroom studio. Now, I’m not saying that genius musical ideas flowed from this stool directly, but ideas were fleshed out and developed over many a night sitting on it, hunched over my guitar and PC.

Such was it’s value in this creative process, I decided to name a couple of songs after it – Foodstool 82 (available from iTunes), The Progressive Adventures of Foodstool (also available from iTunes), and the upcoming Son of Foodstool.

So whatever happens in the future, Foodstool will be immortalized in cyberspace.

So, in summing up, I say thank you Foodstool for being, literally, one of my biggest supporters.

By the way, I had Weetbix, rice milk and Cheerios for breakfast.
