I've Realized That I Have A Lot

I Think In Some Ways, Whether You've Ever Actually Been To Portland, People Definitely Understand This Highly Curated Niche Lifestyle, Because A Lot Of People Are Sort Of Striving For That Now. Or They're Hating On It.

The Idea Of Self-effacement, The Idea That You Feel So Powerless That The Only Tiny Morsel Of Power You Have Is Over Your Own Ability To Deny Yourself Food - That To Me Is A Very Profound And Sad Methodology And Indicator Of How Powerless A Lot Of People Feel In This World. That They Will Turn That Onto Themselves Until They Are Physically Smaller. I Think It's Affected My Worldview A Lot - Just Being Sensitive And Empathetic Towards The Ways People Want To Be Small. I Don't Wish Smallness For Anyone.

If Your Whole World Of A Band Or Music Is Taking Place In A Digital Realm Or On Technological Devices, It's All Mediated Through Those Things. That Takes Away From The Experiential And Sensual Nature Of Music. That's A Lot Less Exciting For Me To Think About. It's Not My Ideal Way Of Living With Music.

I Don't Want To Mislead People.

I Would Love To Do A Reunion Tour If It Only Involved Basements Across The U.s.
