I want less and less control with music. Just playing music without any idea of composition or writing.

Let's play with sound, forget all knowledge and instrumental skills, and just use instinct – the same way punk did.

A dog is much like a married man, obeying his master's voice for the sake of his master's touch.

I miss Irish milk. Probably not as much as Superquinn sausages.
