bands based built careers good half high kid life magic relationships time town
There were no good bands in my town. You know, there's like this magic town where every kid started a band in high school, and half of them were good and have careers based on relationships built at that time? That wasn't what my life was like at all.
certain fan indie music pop prospect type
There's a certain type of indie fan who would balk at the prospect of there being value in pop music, but I think that's foolish. They're not really listening.
funny
I'd rather proliferate funny little rumors than not.
amorphous films flesh objects work
I like Cronenberg's early work; his '80s films had all these weird, amorphous flesh objects in them.

My mom is the type of mom who wonders why I haven't used my psychology degree to become a successful clinical psychologist.
clinical fairly follow middle released
When I released my first record, I was really in the middle of having made the decision to follow the clinical psychology path, which is competitive, rigorous, and fairly conservative.

There's a constant anxiety that comes from having an innate sense of self, yet existing within a homogenised, aspirational culture.
break internal permits realm spent stuff
I spent a long part of my childhood repressing my more animalistic desire systems, and in a way, it permits me to do some of the stuff that I would want to be doing in a way that's more comfortable and doesn't break my internal rules. It expands the realm of possibility.
backing cool format glass hard monk music people philip pop song terry top totally tracks trying
I'm trying to use people like Meredith Monk and Philip Glass and Terry Riley as the backing tracks for new pop songs. It's really hard trying to use the format and write a pop song on top of avant-garde music, so we'll see. It could be cool, or it could totally flop.
michael soundtrack tapes
My first super-worn-out tapes were Michael Jackson's 'Bad' and the soundtrack to 'Dirty Dancing.' The soundtrack to 'Dirty Dancing' is actually really phenomenal.
