As It Turns Out, As An Adult

It's Nice To Be Able To Backtrack And Not Be Embarrassed By The Music You Used To Listen To.

When I Was A Kid, I Always Thought That Acting Was Going To Be The Way To Go.

I Gathered All The Different Peel Sessions Recordings Together - I Did Six Or Seven Of Them Over The Years - And Listened To All Of Them. These Definitely Have At Least A Superficial Relationship To Each Other Because They're All Very Spare.

The First Music I Bought When I Was Nine Or 10 Was Pop Music From The '50s And '60s, Like The Everly Bros., Elvis, Del Shannon, The Flamingos, The Platters, Whatever I Could Get My Hands On. And Then Some Musical Things, Like Camelot, Singing In The Rain And Hair.

Venues Are All The Same, All Feel The Same, These Generic Blank Spaces. I Like Artists Like Lightning Bolt-bands That Go In And Kind Of Change Things Every Time, Play On The Floor, Set Up In The Middle Of The Room. They Go In And They Reinvent The Space Every Time, Which I Feel Is Like The Kind Of Thing That Should Just Be Happening.
