Create for Creation’s sake!
Sometimes you can free your ideas up by simply creating something, anything, without expectation. You may be surprised that it isn’t as easy to silence your inner-editor as you might think. Dive in anyway and be open to serendipitous moments that may be surprisingly powerful. Create for creation’s sake. and put your editor-beast into their cage for awhile. You can unleash them later if you want.
Here is a great example of Gyda Vattysdottir, formerly of Múm, and drummer Julian Sartorius, creating music by the moment. (From Vincent Moon’s wonderful “nomadic record label”, petitesplanetes.)

Good On Ya! Australians Support Music.
According to this interesting Gizmodo article, Australia is one of the few markets where digital music sales have made up for the loss in CD sales. Yes, music fans there are paying for their downloaded music. Nice!
Would you say Aussies are more honest than the rest of the world, or do they simply appreciate the value of music the most? Either way you gotta love them for it.
