Sometimes It Will Be For More Money

As A Kid You Learn That There Are Thinkers And There Are Philosophers And There Are Theologian, And I'd Hear Little Bits Of The Ideas That These People Pursued Or Developed Or Created And I'd Be Really Excited. Then I'll Start To Read It And I Think, "wait A Minute, This Is A Rabbit Hole. This Isn't A Gateway Or A Ticket To Anything Except Itself."

Too Much Emphasis Is Put On American Roots Music When People Try And Place Me. You Know, I Grew Up Listening To Punk.

I Had A Lot Of Time To Myself, And I Would Listen To A Lot Of Music, Mostly Music That I Knew Fairly Well And Had A Relationship With. And I'd Think, Well, What Is It That I've Never Been Able To Do That This Person Or People Are Able To Do With This Song? Why Haven't I Been Able To Do It, And What Can They Do That I Wish I Could Do? And Then I'd Try To Do That. I'd Start Each Day Getting Into The Songs, And I'd Think About How I Might Get Closer To This Music That I Love, But Haven't Been Able To Make Before.

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.

I Don't Usually Read Reviews. I Usually Read The Interviews, Just Because I Figure It's A Good Way To Try To Do Them Better If I Ever Have To Do Them Again.
