The Arts Don't Exist In

I Think That If They Want People To Listen To Ten Or Twelve Songs, They Have To Give The Listener A Reason To Listen To Ten Or Twelve Songs Or To Buy Ten Or Twelve And Listen To The Whole Thing Instead Of Just Pulling One Or Two For Their Ipod Or Their Computer.

The Two Biggest Self-deceptions Of All Are That Life Has A 'meaning'and Each Of Us Is Unique.

Maybe It's Naïve, But I Would Love To Believe That Once You Grow To Love Some Aspect Of A Culture-its Music, For Instance -you Can Never Again Think Of The People Of That Culture As Less Than Yourself. I Would Like To Believe That If I Am Deeply Moved By A Song Originating From Some Place Other Than My Own Homeland, Then I Have In Some Way Shared An Experience With The People Of That Culture. I Have Been Pleasantly Contaminated. I Can Identify In Some Small Way With It And Its People.

Probably The Reason It's A Little Hard To Break Away From The Album Format Completely Is, If You're Getting A Band Together In The Studio, It Makes Financial Sense To Do More Than One Song At A Time. And It Makes More Sense, If You're Going To All The Effort Of Performing And Doing Whatever Else, If There's A Kind Of Bundle.

I Like To Combine The Dramatic Emotional Warmth Of Strings With The Grooves And Body Business Of Drums And Bass.
