For Me, A Record Is Valid When

It's Hard To Be Bipolar And Bicoastal At The Same Time.

I Think That We Live In A Time Where It's Easier To Be Suspicious Of Dedicated Men And Women, People Dedicated To Their Craft, Because The World Around Them Inspires Them To Be Lazy. It Inspires Them To Be Negative. It Inspires Them To Be Snarky.

Not To Discount My Music, But I'm Always Suspicious Of The Music That I Make On Some Level, As To How Valid It Is. Or Maybe Not "valid," But How Important.

I Like Things That Reach A Little Further And Are A Little More Abstract, But I Don't Think That's What I Do Naturally Well. How I Write Naturally Is Probably What's Furthest From Me, And The Most Removed From What I Understand.

There Definitely Isn't A Structure Anymore To How I Get Ideas. A Lot Of Times I'll Just Write Down A Phrase, Or I'll Have An Idea That's Attached To Just A Few Chords. Other Times, It's Work.
