It's just a joy to be able to work with a lot of different musicians. When you play with great musicians, whether they're schooled or self-taught, they keep you on your toes.

All these biopics and biographies and people gossiping about so-and-so's drug abuse or who's sleeping with who, it's just a bunch of nonsense.
Cass McCombs
Image
I don't think I'm even a musician. I don't play a lot of instruments, not really a soloist or anything.
Cass McCombs
Image
I think I prefer singing in falsetto. I like the way it sounds. It doesn't sound like my natural voice. It sounds like a character.
Cass McCombs
Image
It's not my way to talk about my feelings. They're impudent to myself, so it wouldn't make any sense if I tried to explain them to anyone else. I've never been to therapy - not interested in it.
Cass McCombs
Image
I love songs because by nature they are concise they sum up. I try to use as few words as possible. It's usually funnier that way, anyway.
Cass McCombs
Image
I've always thought about myself as somewhat of a folk musician. I just write words.

Image
I don't like going to the studio. It just seems too cold. There's no crowd to react to, or share anything with it's just talking into a microphone that's going into a computer.

I think a master craftsman is someone who is unpretentious. He has a physical object in front of him and, while he works with a higher aim, he doesn't let his personality get in the way of his art. It's simply about the task at hand and to make it as functional and necessary to the world as he can.

Bringing the individual into it music only distracts from the universal and makes it trivial. And then it's easy to wash your hands of it because you might not be from their background, or you might disagree with their personal perspective. So you discount it and go back into your corner instead of coming out and engaging with everything.

Folk art has never been much about politics it's about action and utility.
Cass McCombs
Image
I do like the word timeless. That's a great word.

Image
Try to keep your mind. Try not to eat bad, try not to wake up with too bad of a hangover.

When I was young, I used to go to Baha'i camp, and they taught me a lot about the equality of religions.

Image
It's the stupidest thing of all time, going on tour. It deteriorates the soul, but it's fun.
Cass McCombs
Image
I don't live anywhere, so that's what's fun about tours.
Cass McCombs
Image
I've always been interested in an idea of boundless love - an impersonal, big love.
Cass McCombs
Image
I write for myself, and I write for my friends and people who I have a connection with. I try to give some dignity to peoples' lifestyles that tend to be ignored.
