I think my whole generation's mission is to kill the cliche.
I've been practicing for years, trying to figure out how to record an entire band live.
Two men look out the same prison bars; one sees mud and the other stars.
I grew up I guess you'd say in the cassette era.
Most of my early records were not cohesive at all, just collections of demos recorded in different years. 'Odelay' was the first time I actually got to go in the studio and record a piece of music in a continuous linear fashion, although that was written over a year.
I think trying to be offbeat is the most boring thing possible.
