I'm Cleaning My Brain

Recently, I've been obsessively reading Raymond Carver. I started with his first book of short stories, "Will You Please Be Quiet Please?" and read everything up to "Cathedral." Before that I read "Fight Club". I've been listening to Syd Barrett, early Pink Floyd and the Velvet Underground. I've been having some personal issues going on and I feel like this is a form of therapy. It like in the Talking Heads song, "Artists Only" where David Byrne sings that he is cleaning his brain. I think I'm doing the same thing.
