I Don't Like Going To Cities. I

I've Never Done A Video Where I Feel Like The Images Have Anything To Do With My Song, Except In The Most Vague Way Possible, Because I Feel Like The Song Is Its Own Complete Thing. But Ideally, A Song Is A Complete Sphere Like The Earth, Where If You Were An Alien With A Huge, Huge Finger, You Could Stick Your Finger Into The Middle Of The Ocean And Make An Impression On It. It’s Not An Impregnable Sphere, But It Is A Sphere.

I'd Like My Records To Reach As Many People As Possible, But I'm Also Thinking In Terms Of How I Can Keep From Getting Jaded Or Unhappy With The Process.

I Gathered All The Different Peel Sessions Recordings Together - I Did Six Or Seven Of Them Over The Years - And Listened To All Of Them. These Definitely Have At Least A Superficial Relationship To Each Other Because They're All Very Spare.

I Valued The Experience Of Making The Recordings, And I Value The Performances Contained Therein, And I Value So Much Of What They Can Represent. I Also Think They're A Terrific Listening Experience. Putting Them Out This Way Was A Way Of Trying To Maintain And Nurture The Relationship With The Audience And Also Shine A Light On The Recent Past, Because We Are So Apt To Be Forgetful As Human Beings That There Was Such A Thing As A Recent Past. These Are Some Of The Reasons For Making This Record.

I Figure It's Okay To Make Certain Rules, Whether Or Not People Despise You For It At The Time.
