I Have Thousands Of Tapes, And Photos

I Always Appreciate When People Save, And More Importantly, Share. As We Speak, There Are People In This World - Mostly Men - Who Have Giant Collections Of Recordings That No One Will Ever Hear. And The Value Of That Collection Is Almost Defined By The Fact That Nobody Else Can Hear It.

It's So Interesting That Humanity Has To Be Defined By Emotional Strife Or Something. I Don't Buy Into That.

I Think That People Are Constantly Thinking About Capturing Things That They're Not Actually Present For The Moment They're Trying To Capture. I'm Quite Sure Of This. I Think It's Insane How Many Pictures Have To Be Taken These Days. We Have To Realize There's A Level Of Documentation That's Just Chatter, It's Noise, And Beyond That, People Who Are Truly Documenting Are Going To Have To Find A Way To Puncture That.

I've Done Thousands Of Interviews In My Life, And It's A Format That I Quite Enjoy, Because I Think Of Questions In Interviews As An Opportunity To Sort Of Gauge My Growth In A Way. It Gives Me An Idea Of How I'm Navigating This World That I'm In.

One Aspect Of Our Site That I Really Appreciate Is How I Put Up As Much Information As I've Been Able To Keep Track Of: Dates, The Venue, The City, The Country, The Number Of People There, The Door Price, Opening Bands, That Sort Of Thing. One Of The Very First Comments We Had Was From A Guy Who Said, "by The Way, The Opening Band In Albany In 1993 Was Not The Very Nice Neighbors, It Was The Very Pleasant Neighbors." That Brought A Great Joy To Me.
