There are people who seem to be on the verge of going either way, and something kicks in to support either the visual or the auditory. Maybe if you are in a rush for success you follow the one that is the most successful, and the other falls to the wayside.

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

Maybe people are finally tiring of watered down grunge rock on the radio.

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.

I try to drum each day. It's therapeutic.

I feel that music is more flexible than language and your song, or "piece" is only as flexible as your least flexible component.

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.
