Do I belong in the conversation about the best artists in the world? My answer is yes, I do.

I'm like the Fugitive, running from the one-armed indie-rock community!

I reached a point in my life where I felt like I was living through some old character.

We weren't like mates who decided to form a band. The other three met me because they were interested in being in the band that I was starting.

I use music as some kind of weird salvation to get away from life

I went to see a shaman. He put his hands on me, and I cried like a baby for an hour.

What bothers me is when music becomes entertainment. Of course, music is supposed to be entertaining, but go back to any period of time - music had a cultural significance on different levels, whether it was folk music, it was the news of the village, or it had to do with the rites of passage.
