After a while, you start to believe that your opinions are more valid than everyone else's. It can be hard to be humble about making really good music; you really believe that you're a savior to music. That's why bands don't like each other.

I never understood the low art/high art distinction.

You want to reach people on a real level and have a fan base that understands you.

There's so much to be said for making your guitar sound like a synthesizer and try to make your drummer sound like a drum machine.

There's too much rock that relies a fetishism or nostalgia for the old ways. That's a real enemy to music.

I feel that's important that I have some place to go that isn't on the cover of a magazine. I signed up to make music.
