For most of my life, making music has cost me money. So I learned to live very, very cheaply.
I'm kind of stunned by hip-hop and R&B's embrace of what is essentially early-to-mid-Nineties Euro pop.
I never did albums fully at DFA; I always would go someplace else so I wasn't making a record in my office, basically.
With a computer, you have access to so many drum sounds and samples that your snare drum will be unrelated harmonically to your kick drum.
The Fall was super powerful to me because of their covers. They were intimidating. I bought 'This Nation's Saving Grace' when it came out in 1985, and there was something about it that made me nervous. It terrified me.
I think that not being all that overwhelmed by good reviews is a luxury. I'm like a rich person who says he doesn't care about money.
