dress people stage
For stage I try to dress down, because I want people to take me seriously.
ends few flesh girls guitar lessons point song starting tend voice wanting women
I had been wanting to give guitar lessons to girls because I feel like women tend to use their voice as the starting point for a song and learn a few chords, and then it ends there because then they just use their voice to flesh out a song.
bands bolt tapping
Lightning Bolt and Hella are two bands I listen to, and there's a lot of finger tapping going on there.
Mainstream to me equals boring, so I don't want to be doing that.
explore less looser nature playing tight
Most of my playing style is very on point - the tapping, just by nature of being rhythmic, is tight - so I'd like to explore something looser and less precise.
careers being-real ends
It seems to me, that's the only thing that ends up being really fulfilling or satisfying - your career.
should-have people buttons
I feel like people who are guarded and shut off, I feel like they should have to wear a button that says, "shut down", "guarded" or something.

The reason I could last for that long a period of being up was because the piece accidentally caught the excitement and adrenaline from, "Ooh this sounds different from usual... Ooh I like that..." That was the energy that kept me up.
teenager people band
People don't seem to care about convictions any more. When I was a teenager, the deal was that, y'know, you had a band that you were really loyal towards, almost to a fault, and you stayed really loyal to that band. That was the whole thing, that was such a big deal.
