I Don't Watch Tv But

You Had Bands Like D.o.a., Or Black Flag, And A Whole Network Opened Up To Trailblazer A Counter Culture Movement. I'm More Interested In The Less Sensational Type Of Stories.

I Do Feel Like I Have Always, In My Life, Been Inclined To Be On The Outside, Walk A Different Path Or Something. Because Of That, And Increasingly Over The Years, My Sense Of Distance From Mainstream Society Or From The Way Culture Works, I Have A Different Kind Of Perception Of It.

I Jump From One Thing To The Next But Try And Strike A Balance. But It's Not Nostalgic In The Sense Of 'those Were The Good Old Days And Now We're Not There'. I Don't Think Like That. Not My Way.

I Work At A Record Label Where I Have Archives. These Things [memorabilia] Occurred And Are Important To Somebody, And They're Important To Me. I Find The Record Industry Largely Repellent. This Music, The Teen Idles, All Of That Stuff, Is Important To Me. I Don't Have Lawyers, An Agent Or A Manager. However I Find The Music Industry Largely Repellent. I Just Make Records Because That's What I Love To Do. So I Think That Era, Those Pieces Of Media, I Keep In My Collection.

I Always Appreciate When People Save, And More Importantly, Share. As We Speak, There Are People In This World - Mostly Men - Who Have Giant Collections Of Recordings That No One Will Ever Hear. And The Value Of That Collection Is Almost Defined By The Fact That Nobody Else Can Hear It.
