It's hard always to say what it is one likes about a place, for me. I feel it.

I grew up in Southern California, so the whole concept of a local music history is still kinda novel to me.

Gender relations are a sad story of men talking trash about women all over the world.

I always worry that I'm a dilettante: I know something about lots of things but don't have exhaustive knowledge of much. Take dance music: I like enough of it and its history to be able to say a word or two about this or that record, but I'm nobody's authority. I couldn't name more than a couple of good drum'n'bass acts, and I have no idea what's big in the dance world right now.

People say friends don't destroy one another. What do they know about friends?

I'm sort of a cavedweller: I miss my house, my yard, my kitchen, my wife. The trees. When I get home, I like to get down into my office neighborhood as soon as I can.
