Spott Mentioned in TIME Magazine

New York, NY – While Spottiswoode, artist and bandleader, was away in London, city of his birth, there came the news that his music had been kindly mentioned in TIME MAGAZINE. Apparently, the actor Timothy Hutton has recently been listening to the Enemies in the privacy of his own iPod. Since Spott had only just watched the 1980 classic “Ordinary People” and had enjoyed Mr. Hutton’s stunning performance, the Englishman chalked all of this up to the the cosmic symbiosis of mutual appreciation.

Cosmic symbiosis? The general fear amongst Spottiswoode’s bandmates is that the Englishman is starting to lose his marbles. At first they applauded his pioneering work in the field of yoga. While not yet able to turn himself into a pretzel, Spottiswoode has been seen on several recent occasions impersonating a soggy salt and vinegar potato crisp. And he has been heard chanting “Om” quite a bit as well. This all seemed harmless enough. But recent pepperings of words such as “karma,” “presence,” “supine,” “surrender,” and “namaste” into the Englishman’s vocabulary have raised more than a few eyebrows.

And now the news that he has collaborated with Roger and Dave on a re-rendering of the Beatles’ weirdest song of all, one of course written by the dangerous spiritual loner, George Harrison! “Within You Without You has long been one of my favorite Beatles songs. It is much underrated,” said Spott to himself recently while vainly trying to clear his mind at a meditation retreat.

The scattering of consciousness continues with all kinds of meandering questions. For instance, who are Roger and Dave? Early research suggests they are a couple of eccentric gentlemen living in New York who are currently recording the entire Beatles oeuvre on ukulele. They apparently release one song a week on their website.

The editors of The Examiner recommend that its readers take a visit to the site on or after September 29th, 2009. A version of the navel-gazing “Within You Without You” sung by the navel-gazing Spottiswoode will then be available for listening and downloading.

We ask you this question: Is Spottiswoode edging closer to the truth or deeper into illusion?
