Different people bring out different aspects of ones personality.
Trevor Dunn
Pop culture is not about depth. It's about marketing, supply and demand, consumerism.
NYC is chaotic. And I am attracted to chaos.
Now I am obsessed with collecting Platypus paraphernalia.
I need to broaden my horizons.
It wasn't until after private lessons and learning bass lines that I even noticed bass in the music I was listening to at that age. My ears were blown wide open.
Well, I've never been to Japan so I couldn't say. I do know that we have a bit of a following there however.
I feel akin to the Platypus. An orphan in a family. A swimmer, a recluse. Part bird, part fish, part lizard.
I don't really know why I chose bass except that it was different than guitar.
The bungle tour is a bit up in the air due to the fact this at we are getting screwed by our overseas label.
It's too hard for me to comment on the sorry state of our culture.
I guess the two Manifesto, Communicating Vessels, Mad Love, and some of his poetry made a significant mark on me but as far as bringing a literary element into the music I see it as a much broader assimilation.
Harry Patch didn't get enough recognition. Jerry Garcia got too much.
Music is a very personal and emotional form of communication.
I take all of my music seriously and personally.
Hopefully, as a band, it will grow and develop for a good length of time.
Bungle is definitely a priority right now.
There's a reason I moved to NYC, and if I listed all the musicians on my list you'd grow weary.
Being in several, disparate bands is what I thrive on.
I love being a musician. I love the lifestyle. But I think it's probably as difficult and frustrating as anything.
I love playing in Fantomas, which is very strict in terms of composition.
Mullets are still going strong in the south and places like St Louis or the Carolinas.
I think it was more personal, but I certainly tried to adapt certain concepts of Surrealism.
I remember when metal was something you really had to search out, and now I hear it on car commercials.
I have no inflated ideas about success anyway.
I'm comfortable, but not satisfied and I hope to always feel that way.
I've experienced as much fame as I ever want to.
But I also like to be in control, like anyone else. I try to achieve a balance.
I mean, I would hope that I have a style or personality that is evident wherever I go.
I never understood why the metal heads in my school hated the punks.
If you want music that speaks to you, that LISTENS to you, you have to go out of your way, which I enjoy actually. I'm constantly on a private-eye kick to find the totally obscure.
If I can introduce someone to something new, as is constantly happening to me, then I am elated.
