George Oppen wasn't a larger than life personality, but I'm not either. And he lived a long time, so he was happy. Going down in flames is fine, too.

Something taken off the page can sound great, I guess. Usually it doesn't. It seems like lately Pitchfork is trying to champion lyric writers more.

I would just imagine there's a criticism for just about everything, if you want to take something down. No one's invincible. The Jicks are a work in progress and we don't think everything we do is the bee's knees or something, we're just trying our best to get turned on by what we're doing.

Like the song Stereo, to me that's like, kind of hip-hop in that slacker way. There's some slackerisms mixed in with that stuff, but it wasn't really conscious, I guess. When things would get more typical rock'n'roll that was my fallback to go to those kind of lyrics instead of the alternatives.

I did some writing. I was just taking the kids to school. I did a couple things and we did some tours. It was a lot of downtime.

It's normally in the morning, just playing around. And I'm not saying everything I make is great, but that's what I do. I can't even remember how I wrote stuff.

I'm more into describing a scenario and I move around in that scenario.

The word down, is very musical. It just always comes.

We're probably a couple of freaks who've created their own little universe, are living in our own little world and that's the only place where we can survive.

It's easy to be negatively funny about personalities in the media. It's just kind of a cheap laugh.

I'm thinking, I'm singing like Ozzy Osbourne, but I don't sound like him enough, ever.

You don't realize that when you're young, and you're surprised there's a lot of people at your gig - you just think it's general British-press hype.

I don't really know where the songs are coming from often. Many of the best things I made up were just off the top of my head.

I think most musicians know if they make the same record twice, even if they say they don't.

I didn't really like confessional poetry or things. They seemed sort of dated to me, or just corny.

I like that band Get Hustle. They're cool live. I haven't heard their records, though.

Оur music, it's an acquired taste. It's almost cult, even at our level. It can mean nothing to somebody and it can mean everything to somebody else.

We [ Paverment] were definitely unafraid of playing wrong notes and singing wrong things. We could be fearlessly bad!
Stephen Malkmus

The narrative songs were well-written, like an article in The New Yorker. They're nice and pat. They're more like I'm just showing I can do that when I write a song like that. It's not my true calling.

Basically, no one else gives me any opinions on lyrics. I don't ask for them. If they did, I would listen.
