talk about pop music
Sometimes, I only have energy to hit that one emotional place once a day because I let it wipe me out. I’m not a profoundly good singer or songwriter (He’s so wrong there!) and I have many records but I am nowhere near where I want to be. I’m just glad to be in the game. Like my favourite punk records by Hüsker Dü or Black Flag, all I got to do is f***ing mean it and it will ring like some huge bell. It’ll be real.
I just did a whole week of interviews in Europe, and if I’d let it really get to me I probably could have jumped out the hotel window, says Tweedy, behind the wheel in Chicago. It was driving me nuts – people asking why there aren’t any electric guitars on the record, then someone asking, ‘Why are the guitars so loud?’
Sorry if I come across as a grump. I’m not a grump – I like playing music a lot. But sometimes talking about it can be a little more stressful than I like.
Shouter…you stressed about talking about music?
Those are Ryan and Jeff’s words not mine.
I stand corrected.
I love to talk about pop music. Love love love it. I AM SO HAPPY.
I am looking for this summer’s Gnarles…I just haven’t found it yet
Feist don’t do it for you, huh?
Ummm…no
