I Gathered All The Different Peel Sessions

For Me, Promotional Thing About Some New Album Coming Out Destroys A Lot Of The Excitement Of Making Records. Records, Movies, Books - They're Not Supposed To Be Like Math Books. The Purpose Of Them Is To Kind Of Take Us Out Of Ourselves And Give Us Some Sort Of Alternate Experience Or Respite. To Try To Maximize The Relationship Of Listening To A Record Through Promotion Is Like Experiencing Driving A Car By Reading About Stimulus Programs. It Kind Of Defeats The Purpose.

I Think That What Trips Up A Lot Of Great Musicians Is That They Become Involved With Too Many Things That Aren't Where Their Strengths Lie.

There's Very Little Admirable About Being A Pirate. There's Very Little Functional About A Pirate. There's Very Little Real About A Pirate.

I Still Make Music. I Still Write Music And I Record Music, I Just Don't Trust Music Promotion [and] Distribution Right Now Enough To Record A New Set Of Diligently Worked-upon Compositions. I Do Trust The Audience And The Audiences Very Much.

I Write A Song To Be Recorded. And To Some Extent To Be Performed, But Definitely More To Be Recorded Than Performed, Because The Recording Will Last Longer Than A Performance.
