I feel that people spend as much time skipping songs as they do listening to them in their library.

It's important me as a musician and also as an occasional show goer to feel the presence of a band on stage, to hear a PA reverberating and slapping off the walls, the push and pull of an audience, the blood, sweat, and heat. It's a primal thing in a way.

Genres aren't that relevant. Nearly every form of music is a melting pot of things of things.

I've never been a fan of bands that go out and celebrate their age, I'd rather be celebrated for being relevant.

Music being “good or bad” is a flawed idea. Artists make what they want to make and we either connect with it or we don't. Just because we relate to some songs more than others doesn't make the others less valid, we just don't understand them. In fact, we aren't meant to, and that's all right.

What I've witnessed, managers are divisive and allow musicians to become clouded, irresponsible, and unaware of the world around them.

As a writer, I never paid much attention to the length of titles. I've just wanted them to communicate the emotional overtones of the content of a record or song that they are describing
