So many policy decisions that effect musicians are being made without any input from musicians at all.

The only really weird part for me was making sense of the person on the TV at the same time as the person who I am friendly with and do something so friend-intimate with as text.

As a listener, I like a wide range of sounds.

Really, everything for me comes from "Manifestra." It was an incredible gift of a song; it really describes an important moment in my life.

As I've gotten older, I have gotten a lot better at finding the pleasures of making music despite the business of it.

I started to understand what the song could be about. The ache of nostalgia even for things we don't like, the commitment to keep moving despite that ache. It made me think of how I relate to my privilege - as a white person, as someone who grew up upper middle class.

When I'm recording something (especially because I produce my own music) I might consider how hard it would be to replicate a song on stage.
