I have always felt a little held back by working with other people in recording.

Gross things sound funny and set people up to listen to something a little uninviting.

I am a musician before a writer, and a drawer before a writer. When I lose sight of that, which I do, my work tends to suffer.

Fun has to rule in a lot of scenarios. Occasionally, when you are really getting going, you need to stretch beyond language. It has to go out the window.

Words, for me, don't have as much contextual leeway as sound.

I don't like people feeling like they've been cheated out of their money, and I too have been caught in the back of floor shows, only to inspect the backs of necks and the mudded sounds pushing though bodies.

More people than ever are spending money to support more artists and musicians and give them more leisure time to build cereal balls...and the art world is eating those balls up!
