It seems like journalism over here in UK, in general, is at a higher level: not overrun by all these teeny little blogs. There's more of a historical context for it or something. It seems like people review something or take a listen to something and they really do their homework. That's just what it seems like.

I'm still writing songs but leaving them a lot more open and not trying to control every nuance of it.

I don't have to think too hard to keep my writing within a certain narrative thread. That happens because certain words trigger other associations you have in your mind. So, there is this inherent narrative in the end, whether it is abstract or what.

I'm just online too much. I drink too much. A lot of bad things.

The writing about what you know thing was a huge one. Not worrying so much about what people think. Just writing for myself and the band is enough.

I wasn't being critical of myself in the way I can normally be, and I was letting myself follow through with stuff. It was like a prolonged spontaneity.
