the soft animal of my body wants a spliff and four pints of cider
soft animal of my body is up for a kebab
โwas this post cowritten by liam gallagher
yeah it was a monumental collaborative project. I realised I could never get 24 words out on my own but the concept was so special to me that I chose to take a gamble on it. I reached out to his representation and after about eight months of negotiation over rights, fees etc we reached an agreement where he would develop nine words in-studio (first instance of 'of', 'four or five pints of cider' which was later edited down to what you see in the release, second instance of 'my', and 'kebab'). I drafted the rest of the post with support and oversight from his publicity agent, and the post was soft launched as a limited series of placards in Brixton late last year. due to the lukewarm reception, there was talk of pulling the tumblr release altogether, but fortunately we were able to settle on a route forward whereby I bought out full rights to the seven words authored by mr gallagher alongside limited rights of reproduction to allow me to publish the work under my own blog (with allowance for third party reblogs in perpetuity etc). I'll probably never pull off anything of this scope again, and it's a shame it never quite got off the ground the way we hoped, but it was an interesting experience and one I'll always value as part of my artistic development.
