Sam is fucking awesome. Plus he's funny, in a sad but true way. I especially liked the bit about artistic integrity. Ha. How cheap it is to record can be awesome but at the same time makes things too easy for the people who don't really care. Look at the plethora of weak vaguely dance "punk" music bands making totally facile shit these days, aping what was already done well in the 70s and 80s. You can let it bum you out or you can turn it off and put on something better instead. And I don't even want to think about the economic crisis anymore. I studied political economy in college for two years but it was just too depressing. Same with the concept of music going in the direction of Guitar Hero. But there will always be plenty of weirdos out there doing their own thing, and at least a handful won't suck and a few will end up blowing my mind. And for that I am thankful.

This interview was amazing! Macpheeters' answers have a rad , stream-of-consciousness lateral thinking, combined with an analytical side that balances it out. Seriously I've been bugging my friend for a week to send me the link to this shit and I got to say it did not dissapoint. Rock on. The fuck are there no comments?!??!? This interview was amazing!
