The best I do, if I'm just playing around and riffing in a fantasy world, and then I'll write something down. Hopefully I write it down.
Stephen Malkmus

Stephen Malkmus
It's sort of irritating now - people always ask me, You're a dad, and how's fatherhood? If Bob Dylan or Neil Young had a kid, it didn't seem like it made them a different person. It didn't make you old right away.
Stephen Malkmus
The word down, is very musical. It just always comes.
Stephen Malkmus

Stephen Malkmus
