I can't pretend that I don't subscribe to Internet music culture in that I discover new music and old music simultaneously.

You really need to stop Googling yourself and start being an artist.

Is my music indicative of a caffeine-surged green liquid? Probably not.

There's this really amazing quote from Jim Jarmusch about celebrating your theft that I think has become more and more prominent in music: "It's not where you got it from, it's where you take it." To me, that's just an integral part of why I even bother making music. I don't mind that I've created an identity around what I do.

You can't always just put color filters in 80s aerobic videos or take stuff from public-access and look at it in this very ironic, self-conscious way. That only takes you so far.

We really are living in the era that all this sci-fi literature and cinema was centered around, but it's not anything like what we envisioned it to be. It's almost like there's too much choice.

I think the Internet has a way of coaching you into this state of mind where you think that every step you make needs to completely supersede the last.
