In songwriting, I needed language. And I always believed in singing about what I do.
along fact guitar jason people song sweat work
I like people that can strap on a guitar and don't sweat the fact that you have to come up with a song in an hour. I want to work with someone who won't feel like they have to play along with Jason Molina. I want them to just have the confidence.
I try to be of the world, rather than just observing it.
excellent work
I try to do collaborations with as many artists as possible. It's really excellent and fun to actually work with another songwriter.
ask empty freedom guy watching
I feel a lot of guilt about the freedom that being an artist provides. I ask myself, 'Why am I not the guy emptying the trash, why am I the guy who is watching the guy empty the trash?'
music
I don't listen to a lot of music; I write more music than I listen to, for sure.
believe grew listening music records side vinyl
I believe in doing vinyl. As long as vinyl can still be made into a high-quality standard, I'm going to still make all my records as a side A and a side B because that's how I grew up listening to music.
consistency either record theme
The consistency - either the theme from record to record, or the band, the different musicians - it really varies. So if I get criticism, I don't worry about that, because I'm still being creative.
