I Never, Ever Had It In My Mind That I Wanted To Be In The Record Industry, Because I Still Contend That The Record Industry Is An Insidious Affair. It's This Terrible Collision Between Art And Commerce, And It Will Always Be That Way.

People Ask Me: ‘what Is Punk? How Do You Define Punk?' Here's How I Define Punk: It's A Free Space. It Could Be Called Jazz. It Could Be Called Hip-hop. It Could Be Called Blues, Or Rock, Or Beat.

That Was My Entrance To This Idea Of The New Ideas Being Able To Be Presented In An Environment That Wasn't Being Dictated By A Profit Motive.

One Aspect Of Our Site That I Really Appreciate Is How I Put Up As Much Information As I've Been Able To Keep Track Of: Dates, The Venue, The City, The Country, The Number Of People There, The Door Price, Opening Bands, That Sort Of Thing.

That Brought A Great Joy To Me.
