You feel like you're trying to show off your cool by mentioning the five bands that you know are great and the five books that will reflect well on you. I can't do it. I should take the time to but I don't want to take the time to do that.

For as long as I can remember, I have written songs because I wanted to, because I was experiencing something that couldn't be described except through a sound.

I mean that's really depressing man. Of course, the kids are freaking out. They watch cartoons and sit in front of the television and their parents are just probably yuppies who focus their entire lives around the child. The child has no sense of context, no sense of what world they are inhabiting-just like this Disnified bag of Cheerios reality. Don't give them a @#$%& pill! God! Take them out on a canoe already! You know what I mean?

I think a sexual energy is a positive energy.

The architecture of the song, if it's built properly, can withstand all kinds of things.

Generally I try to read anything but indie rock journalism or anything about music at all, especially in the summer.

But its crazy - like ten percent a year increase of children taking fucking anti-depressants. Pre-schoolers are like, the most prescribed. That makes me so mad!
