I Don't Want To Mislead People.

There Are Foods You Should Avoid. For Me, Sugar Is A No. Because It Gives Me A Spike And Then A Crash.

I Don't Want To Mislead People.

I've Always Been A Fan First And Foremost - Obsessing Over Bands And Seeking Out Bands, And Spending Hours And Hours Listening. When I Played Music, The Scope Of My Fandom Became More Myopic; I Was Focusing On The Bands We Were Touring With, Or The Bands On The Label. And You're Always Positing Yourself In Relation To Other Bands. Since I Haven't Been Playing, I Feel A Little Less Cynical. I'm Able To Seek Out Music And Approach It Strictly As A Fan.

I've Always Been Interested In Queerness And Underground And Fringe And Periphery, And Who And What Flourishes In Those Spaces. Those Spaces That Are Darker And Dingier And More Dangerous, More Lonely. What Comes Out Of There, To Me, Is The Life Force. I'm Excited When The Center Reaches Over To Those Places And Pulls Inspiration From Them, And Translates It For A Lot Of People.

When I'm Cynical, I Seek Out Bands That Are Fully Participating And Trying To Push Something Forward. Or I Can Just Start Playing Music Again - Which Is Happening With A New Project. But I Think It's Always A Challenge To Overcome Cynicism And Not Get Bogged Down By A Sense Of Nostalgia. That Can Be Such A Stifling Feeling.
