Inspiration 101: “How I Wrote…”

I just stumbled across The Guardian’s live music series “How I Wrote…” where musicians tell of the inspiration behind their top songs — and then perform them live in the studio.  It’s quite a find and worthy of burning off  at least an hour today.  From Cee Lo Green, British Sea Power, Warpaint, Antony & The Johnsons, to Rufus Wainwright and Corinne Bailey Rae.  It’s quite a collection.

You can follow them on Twitter to get the latest updates of course..

10. What do I want from a partner?
