A few nights ago I had read an interview in this month’s Alternative Press with Alkaline Trio’s singer Matt Skiba which mentioned him taking up Transcendental Meditation. He speaks highly of fellow TM-er David Lynch’s brilliant book “Catching the Big Fish” and cites it as a big influence on his creative process.

Skiba, quoted from the AP interview:

“Meditation has lifted all the fear and anxiety in my life. That makes life quite a bit more enjoyable. When you don’t have these things bogging your mind down, it’s much easier to concentrate on what you’re trying to create and realize your true potential.”

I’m looking forward to receiving the Trio’s latest album ‘Agony & Irony’ which is in the post and making its way to my front door as we speak.
