Unfortunately it’s hard for me to be a fanboy for anything these days just because I see so much music.

Bradford Cox

We didn’t have MTV, and I was desperate for something. You know, you’re young, you want something off the beaten path. And Twin Peaks was like, surrealism on network TV.

Sometimes, I do have something to say, so I’ll sit there and I’ll write a song to someone – and then I just throw it away because it makes me cringe.

Sometimes Song Writing
I read a lot – surveys of vernacular music. A lot of it is the Harry Smith Anthology of American Folk Music, which I’ve loved since I was in high school.

Done Real Thinking

Acceptance Thinking Validation
Unlike the rest of everyone I hang around with, I don’t drink, so I remember what happened after shows. And I have never hit on anyone after a show, I’m not that kind of person. Even if I was attracted to someone, I’d be too shy.

I’ve been going through a lot of… stuff. I need some space, which people were very kind enough to give me, and I feel really gracious about that. Nobody forces me to do things or say things or do interviews.

I’m a really friendly guy, I guess, and I really like meeting people.

Friendly Guy People
The sober guy is always going to have this air of arrogance or self-righteousness, but it’s not my intention. I just knew that if I drank, I’d have a drinking problem.

Air Arrogance Drinking Intention Self
In reality, I’ve probably got the lowest self-esteem of anybody I know, which has really been rubbed in my face lately in personal situations.

What could be more experimental than me writing a straight up love song?

Song Straight Up Writing
You gotta have friends, and it’s really hard to have friends that don’t operate on the same schedule as you or do the same kind of things you do, because they don’t understand it.
BRADFORD COX

Friend Kind Realizing Schedule
I think the younger kids need to realize there’s this whole forgotten 90s that people don’t really talk about.
