handle man youth
I'm not the callow youth of yesteryear. I'm a man of steel, honed on the handle of life.
informal women
Informal is what women always say they're going to be and never are
musician world online
I always thought that pop groups were going to be made up in the 21st century. It wouldn't be four musicians, as such. Especially in the online world, with the worlds that are opening up.
kind odd possibility
It's kind of great being a group without a lead singer, because the possibilities are sky high. Odd things become the lead singer, noises become the lead singer. It actually makes the thing much more flexible.
marketing world different
The remix culture became very much controlled by the corporate world, it's a marketing tool mostly, to create mixes for different genres. So it's very soul-less in a way.
musical shadow done
I'm not denying that in the world there's been some tremendous musical happenings, like DJ Shadow or whatever, that kind of thing. But when it goes into the weird thing where you get a remix done by a certain person because they need a brand name, that's when it becomes really discouraging.
interesting people important
It's going to be an interesting dilemma for certain corporations. They've worked so hard to make themselves important in the way music goes out into the world, but it's completely irrelevant when people can get their music in a different way.
soul
Essentially the soul of the planet is being controlled by corporations.
possibility
There's endless possibilities to taking music into the future by using music that actually was 100 years old.
ongoing attention music-is
Music is careful attention paid to ongoing experience.
All change begins with someone having a thought.
mother flower cutting
We say we love flowers, yet we pluck them. We say we love trees, yet we cut them down. And people still wonder why some are afraid when told they are loved.

Heaven is not built of country seats/ But little queer suburban streets.
