It Betrays Hubris On The Part Of

It Always Offended Me When I Was In The Studio And The Engineer Or The Assumed Producer For The Session Would Start Bossing The Band Around. That Always Seemed Like A Horrible Insult To Me.

I Don't Feel Like Embarrassing Kurt By Talking About What A Psycho Hosebeast His Wife Is, Especially When He Knows It Already.

I Have No Problem With Bands Using Participant Financing Schemes Like Kickstarter And Such. I've Said Many Times That I Think They're Part Of The New Way Bands And Their Audience Interact And They Can Be A Fantastic Resource, Enabling Bands To Do Things Essentially In Cooperation With Their Audience. It's Pretty Amazing, Actually.

My Father Was An Expert Hunter, So We Ate A Lot Of Wild Game When I Was Growing Up In Montana. That Helped Broaden My Palate Generally, But I Know It Informed My Distaste For Factory Farms And Unspectacular Commercial Meat.

I Do Not Want And Will Not Take A Royalty On Any Record I Record. I Think Paying A Royalty To A Producer Or Engineer Is Ethically Indefensible. The Band Write The Songs. The Band Play The Music. It's The Band's Fans Who Buy The Records. The Band Is Responsible For Whether It's A Great Record Or A Horrible Record. Royalties Belong To The Band. I Would Like To Be Paid Like A Plumber. I Do The Job And You Pay Me What It's Worth.
