Sometimes It Will Be For More Money

It's Good When Someone Says, "would You Write A Song For This Purpose," Or "would You Record A Song For This Purpose," Or "would You Help Me Realize This Song," Again, For This Purpose.

Sometimes It Will Be For More Money Than I've Ever Been Offered Before. I Mean, Am I An Idiot Again For Not Doing That?

I Do Not Want A Personal Relationship With My Fans. Or To Do Anything That Encourages Them To Think They Have One With Me. They Can Have A Personal Relationship With My Songs. That's Fine, But They Don't Know Me.

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 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.
