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.

I think alot of vocalists believe in the sound, or the way they sing it - it's interchangable.

It's really nice to have things to mail to people when they mail you things, or trade to people at shows. Something homemade, it feels... down to earth.

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

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.

I've been creating work by silk-screening images of arms and legs and heads and objects on paper - like drawings of vegetables, guns, hats, whatever - and then also printing sheets of patterns, colorful polka dots and line drawing patterns.

A lot of bands are still just bands that artists ask to get involved, but a lot of artists are using sound they create. This is different from referencing music.
