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

Audiences tend to dig the earlier stuff by any given musician, and the artists themselves always tend to prefer the thing that they’re doing now.
BRADFORD COX

Artist Musician Stuff
Musicians and artists are not… it’s not like politicians or something where you can’t really affect them.
BRADFORD COX

Artist Men Two
There’s not like this separate caste system where it’s like, “I’m the musician, you’re the audience. Never the two shall meet.” It was a case where it was like, “Hey, you know what? I’m on your level, man.”

I don’t like the sound of my own voice. And, for people I don’t know, their impression of me is what they read on the internet, and they’re so far off a lot of the time.

People Sound Voice
Usually I’m not really conscious of what’s going on. I don’t have a lot of memories onstage. At all.

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

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.

Friend Kind Realizing Schedule
When money and fame happen too late, it’s like pouring kerosene over a fire of self-loathing.

Fire Late Loading Self Too
My entire education in music was in reading interviews with bands like Stereolab and finding out about Brazilian music or a Romanian composer. You expose yourself to what people you look up to admire.

Contrary to popular belief, maybe, I’m a really friendly guy, I guess, and I really like meeting people. And I’m not really super impressed even if you’re my hero.

They had it at the library and I always thought that was interesting, even when I was into punk and stuff. Just the history of storytelling and the amount of melancholy a lot of old music has.

History Lot Music Old Storytelling
I like playing at public schools. I like when there’s more of a diverse audience. I’ll play wherever people want to hear my music, and I’ll be glad and grateful for the opportunity, but I’d rather not play for a bunch of white privileged kids.
