I Don't Want To Mislead People.

There Was This Kind Of Wackiness That Was Really Embraced And Put On A Pedestal. It Was Before The Millennium. We Were Envisioning A Future That Was Mostly Idealistic. I Think That Came Crashing Down A Little Bit In 9/11, Or A Lot. There Is Something About Portland That Does Seem To Still Exist In This Total Idealistic World And Total Idealistic Mind Frame, And I Think That's What Dream Of The '90s Is Talking About.

You Can Never Underestimate That Moment Of Somebody Explaining Your Life To You, Something You Thought Was Inexplicable, Through Music. That Was The Way Out Of Loneliness.

I Like How Blogging Emulates Fandom Because It's So Completist And Spontaneous. It Really Mirrors The Way People Listen To Music, And I Like That Fluidity With Online Content.

I Think That There's Always An Assumption, When A Band Goes On Hiatus Or Stops Playing, That There's Some Acrimony Brewing Under The Surface.

Over The Years, Music Put A Weapon In My Hand And Words In My Mouth It Backed Me Up And Shielded Me, It Shook Me And Scared Me And Showed Me The Way; Music Opened Me Up To Living And Being And Feeling.
