People have a hard time reading my comics. I think I leave things out, but I feel you should.

BRIAN CHIPPENDALEThat’s why I started amplifying my voice at all, to capture the little sounds I make when I am pushing my body physically, drumming away.
BRIAN CHIPPENDALEJust because I said lyrics are a sign of the inability to sing doesn’t mean….A) I believe that, or B) I don’t think they’re cool. They are cool. Words are great.
BRIAN CHIPPENDALEI try to drum each day. It’s therapeutic.
BRIAN CHIPPENDALEIt’s painful to not be able to fully focus, but it keeps you fresh.
BRIAN CHIPPENDALEA lot of bands are still just bands that artists ask to get involved, but a lot of artists are using sound they create. This is different from referencing music.
BRIAN CHIPPENDALEI have always felt a little held back by working with other people in recording.
BRIAN CHIPPENDALEWords, for me, don’t have as much contextual leeway as sound.
BRIAN CHIPPENDALEI don’t like people feeling like they’ve been cheated out of their money, and I too have been caught in the back of floor shows, only to inspect the backs of necks and the mudded sounds pushing though bodies.
BRIAN CHIPPENDALEI think alot of vocalists believe in the sound, or the way they sing it – it’s interchangable.
BRIAN CHIPPENDALEI love a lot of people in bands and people doing weird art stuff, but i will always forget someone and i don’t really want to be part of stamping the boundaries on a scene.
BRIAN CHIPPENDALEEach day I also try to draw. It’s a similar expulsion of buildup: Milking the cows every morning. Checking the chickens’ eggs. Why should that be limited to a certain medium?
BRIAN CHIPPENDALEGross things sound funny and set people up to listen to something a little uninviting.
BRIAN CHIPPENDALEGalleries are becoming overwhelmed with psychedelic music/art. I like it; it’s a good direction, a new blurring of the lines between what you do.
