I try to make myself, and subsequently the audience, as uncomfortable as possible, whether it's completely desecrating a song they thought was one thing, or getting too drunk to really do a very good job.

I think that providing obstructions in the live setting is when you get something that actually means something, as opposed to just aping your way through your greatest hits.

People think the world of music is so great, and it's just not. It's so boring, the way music is conceived and then declawed for public consumption.

I play sad bastard music. For the money.
