The Imminent Demise Of The

I've Been Asking Myself: 'why Put Together These Things - Cds, Albums?' The Answer I Came Up With Is, Well, Sometimes It's Artistically Viable. It's Not Just A Random Collection Of Songs. Sometimes The Songs Have A Common Thread, Even If It's Not Obvious Or Even Conscious On The Artists' Part.

Sometimes The European And North American Public Like Some Things To Be Exotic And Kept At Arm's Length. They Don't Want Sometimes To Know That Foreign Artists Are Doing Something That's At Least As Relevant As What's Being Done Here.

I'm Just Wearing Regular Street Clothes. Pretty Much All The Time. In The Summertime, Or When It Gets Warm Out, Shorts And Sandals Or Something Like That. Stuff That I Don't Mind Getting A Little Sweaty.

With A Lot Of What We Take To Be True Feelings, Especially On Pop Records, We Feel Them Because They're Cleverly Crafted. And Because The Words Are Written By Somebody Who Knows How To Craft Words And Draw On Those Things And Convey Those Feelings. That Doesn't Mean They're Dishonest. But It Also Doesn't Mean That It's All Just Pure Primitive Emotion Spilling Out.

Some Things, I Feel Like No, I Never Could Have The Depth Of Experience Of Their Own Music And Culture - But Sometimes If I'm Collaborating With Somebody, They're Interested In Me Bringing My Own Stuff Into Their Thing, And Sometimes That Works.
