“A song doesn’t necessarily change the world and I think I used to think that it would back in my 20s. John Lennon wrote Imagine and that didn’t change the world. It just offered people comfort. That’s what music can do. When people have told me, ‘you have offered me some peace of mind’, that’s a great compliment.”

“Jim Jarmusch once told me “Fast, Cheap, and Good… pick two. If it’s fast and cheap it wont be good. If it’s cheap and good it won’t be fast. If it’s fast and good it wont be cheap.” Fast, cheap and good… pick (2) words to live by.”

Half this shit doesn’t make any sense to outside readers. Tumblr is just a noisy house party, and to everyone else on the block, the lyrics to the songs are all garbled.

“There’s a progression at play here. There was Sigur Rós filming hairless young things frolicking in the woods for “Gobbledigook,” surpassed many months later by Girls’ XXX “Lust For Life” video featuring Hunx’s junk, which itself was trumped by the Flaming Lips’ “Watching The Planets” which was a showcase for Wayne’s coyne. The untapped avenue for flesh-tones? Interactivity, no doi. Enter Yeasayer.”

“This is what we do, humans. We tinker, and change, and endlessly imagine a more perfect future. And at the same time, we idealize the past. So we’re trapped. Progress’s constant companion is nostalgia for the way things used to be. … The thing we forget about progress: there is no master plan. It lurches forward, in the dark, accidentally, and you’re never sure where it’s taking you. There’s no going back, whether it wants to or not.”
