I'm Really Drawn To The Uncompromising Realness

You'd Hope That No Writing About Music Could Supersede The Music Itself. But I Do Think That Blogs Mirror The Way That We Are Listening. It Comes At You Fast And It's Timely And Then Five Minutes Later We're On To Something Else. It Caters To Our Desire For Instant Gratification. And I Think Blogs Also Have Fluidity That's Exciting. You Have A Lot Of Real Enthusiastic Music Fans For The Most Part That Are Writing Sometimes For A Large Audience, And I Think Certain Blogs Have A Little Too Much Power Over What Someone Likes Or Doesn't Like.

It Does Feel Great To Be Writing, But The Process Is Sometimes Excruciating.

I Think That Half Of Us Feel Fraudulent In Our Lives Anyway. There's That Strange Disconnect Of Not Really Knowing What We're Doing Sometimes, Or Why It Matters. It's Our Existential Crisis.

I Have No Desire To Play Music Unless I Need Music.

I'm Pretty Horrible At Relationships And Haven't Been In Many Long-term Ones. Leaving And Moving On - Returning To A Familiar Sense Of Self-reliance And Autonomy - Is What I Know; That Feeling Is As Comfortable And Comforting As It Might Be For A Different Kind Of Person To Stay.
