But this bombardment you’re talking about, that’s a choice you make. If you’re interested by a piece of music, you can miss the next twenty new pieces of music that’re fishing for your attention and just focus on that one. It’s really all right. You can just ignore all the big-ticket releases and focus on Jandek’s 9-disc solo piano set for half a year and that’s a totally valid decision. You can take a year to just listen to opera: that was me most of last year, opera and old Silkworm albums. Did I miss something? Maybe; who cares? What I had was not just fine but completely amazing, and I can catch up with anything I missed later, if I want to, and if I don’t, that’s cool too. Being on top of stuff, having an opinion about something when it’s new, this is just not a priority for me at all. Music is eternal, I don’t need to experience it as part of a news cycle. —

Yeah, you know those montage scenes in the movies where the character undergoes a transformation?…yeah, there’s no nice soundtrack, it’s not smooth, and if it weren’t time-compressed on screen, it’d take a whole lot longer than the movie. — thought that occurred to me

There is a thread which runs through the world…
from the faintest flap of the moth, to the thunderous clap of the waterfall from the brightest ray of the sunshine, to the darkest shimmering of the night ocean in the painter’s brush, and the cellist’s bow in the quiet repose, in the aching soul
And I will praise Him still, creator of all wonder And I will praise Him still, in the midst of all its calamity
Though I be vexed by imperfection, to Him I owe my affection He still delights in what faint offering we have to give
And I will praise Him still
