There are then two kinds of women, those who have dependent independence in them, those who have in them independent dependence inside them; the ones of the first of them always somehow own the ones they need to love then, the second kind of them have it in them to love only those who need them, such of them have it in them to have power in them over others only when these others have begun already a little to love them, others loving them give to such of them stregnth [sic] in domination.
Stolen from Terminal Boredom but it's so fucking good...
- Read a lot
- Talk a long walk
- Boredom is essential for your personal development. Good boredom is not doing anything, bad boredom is pointless distraction
- BE SPECIFIC
- Attempts to look or sound more 'authentic' will mark you out as a fraud
- Your instrument is never the problem (unless it's broken)
- Ironic nostalgia + retro shtick is too easy. Make an effort or get off the stage. As Chairman Mao said, "shit or get off the pot"
- Read a lot (more)
- Advertising is to genuine culture what a 12ft tapeworm is to your gut. Strictly for those without the talent + personal courage to be artistic
- Take a long holiday from American/British music
- Doing all the above will make you a more interesting person + hence a more interesting musician.
