To Me, Recordings Are Little Fourth-dimension Artifacts,

Venues Are All The Same, All Feel The Same, These Generic Blank Spaces. I Like Artists Like Lightning Bolt-bands That Go In And Kind Of Change Things Every Time, Play On The Floor, Set Up In The Middle Of The Room. They Go In And They Reinvent The Space Every Time, Which I Feel Is Like The Kind Of Thing That Should Just Be Happening.

I Was Worried Before I Saw The Play 'the Seven Storey Mountain', Thinking I Don't Really Want To See A Play About Thomas Merton. He Probably Wouldn't Have Either, Ideally. Then It Isn't. It's More About Us And It's About Our Relationship To What He May Or May Not Have Thought About. It's Its Own Thing Completely.

I Felt So Liberated When I First Saw Charles Mee’s 'the Glory Of The World' At Bam Play, Because For Me This Is The Gateway To Contemplation, Or This Is The Gateway To Love, Or This Is The Gateway To Faith, Not Sitting And Reading A Book By An Isolated Monk, God Bless Him. This Is.

My Dream Many Years Ago Would've Been To Continue To Write And Record Songs In Record/album Form For Years To Come, But Now Records Aren't What They Were Then - And So It Doesn't Actually Feel Very Good To Make A Record Of Songs.

I Write A Song To Be Recorded. And To Some Extent To Be Performed, But Definitely More To Be Recorded Than Performed, Because The Recording Will Last Longer Than A Performance.
