Making music and art is about expressing something that's universally human, maybe even beyond human, at best.

To me, craft work is the ultimate. Maybe I got this idea from the autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini, who was employed as a sculptor to the state and church, making coins and things. While he admired Michelangelo, he also made fun of his spiritual angst with art.

I don't know about timeless. I actually think most of what I do is completely modern, but universally modern. Who decides what timeless even means? Are the things that we consider timeless now going to, in fact, be considered timeless in 300 years? Probably not.

I took piano lessons when I was a little kid, but even before that, you're singing in the classroom and wherever. Gosh, children are always singing. But I took music lessons, some choir and things like that at school. I learned how to play the guitar when I was about 13... ancient history.

It's the stupidest thing of all time, going on tour. It deteriorates the soul, but it's fun.

Image
I think it's worthwhile to expand your comfort level and just do something awful. I wasn't trying to make music for money.

Image
I don't live anywhere, so that's what's fun about tours.
Cass McCombs
Image
I wouldn't go into the studio if I didn't have a band who's ready, willing, and able.
