I'm Kind Of A Hermit. It's Almost

I Got Kind Of Tired Of Playing, I Think. But I Think It Will Be Part Of My Life Again, Maybe.

I'll Admit That I'm Not Quite Certain How To Sum Up An Entire Year In Music Anymore; Not When Music Has Become So Temporal, So Specific And Personal, As If We Each Have Our Own Weather System And What We Listen To Is Our Individual Forecast.

To Me, The Grotesque Is Like A Sonic Manifestation Of Reality. I Don't Know How You Could Look Out Onto Our World And See Only Beauty. And I Like Beautiful Things. I Like The Aesthetically Harmonious. But I Am Much More Attracted To Something That Is Off-kilter. It Is A Truer Reflection Of Not Only Nature, But The Human Spirit - The State Of The World. I Just Think Everything Feels A Little Off.

Well, In Some Ways I Had Sort Of The Opposite Experience Of Other People That Are Sort Of Dreaming Of Being In A Rock Band. I Was Dreaming Of Like Corporate Lunches And Just Like, And I'm Not Really Joking. Like The Whole Idea To Me Was Really Appealing.

I Always Felt That The Most Common Thread In My Life From When I Was Young Until Now Has Been A Highly Observant, Very Analytical Mind.
