When I'm Cynical, I Seek Out Bands

If I Have A Strong Dislike For Something, Obviously That Garners An Equal Amount Of Derision, Towards Me From The Audience. And That's Fine, As Long As It's Within The Bounds Of Decency And Isn't Too Personal In The Vitriol. That's What Makes The Blog Interesting, And That's What Makes Reading It Interesting And That's What Makes Writing Interesting. You Don't Want Everyone To Agree.

After Sleater-kinney Broke Up In 2006 I Had Very Little Desire To Play Music. It Took Well Over Three Years Before Picking Up A Guitar Meant Anything To Me Other Than An Exercise.

To Me, The Grotesque Is Like A Sonic Manifestation Of Reality. I Don't Know How You Could Look Out Onto Our World And See Only Beauty. And I Like Beautiful Things. I Like The Aesthetically Harmonious. But I Am Much More Attracted To Something That Is Off-kilter. It Is A Truer Reflection Of Not Only Nature, But The Human Spirit - The State Of The World. I Just Think Everything Feels A Little Off.

From A Self-conscious Standpoint, It's Hard To See Myself On A Screen In A Way That Isn't Just Me Playing Music Or Doing Something Silly.

I Think One Of The Reasons I Haven't Been Doing Music Is Because I Think That Some Of My Performance, Like, Needs Are Being Taken Care Of In Other Mediums.
