american-musician anyone happen information noticing record since stream

dismal hope level maintained music
Even the most dismal and hopeless-sounding Wilco music, to my ears, has always maintained a level of hope and consolation.
I didn't want to admit that I was falling into a cliche.
bad guess guilty life regardless
I guess I don't think there's any reason to feel guilty about having joy in your life, regardless of how bad things are in the world.
britney convince kids million music records sell spears
The only way you can sell 10 million Britney Spears records is to convince kids that it's something they need to have as part of their identity. It's not about the music at that point.
art move power regardless
I think art is a consolation regardless of its content. It has the power to move and make you feel like you're not.

I think somehow you need to get to a certain point in your life where the notion of failure is absurd.
good life
I don't think you can be good in life without acknowledging the part of you that isn't good.

Glenn will probably come out and do a few songs with me, but I kind of like to keep it a surprise if it is going to happen.
change evolve honestly music reflect
We try to honestly reflect what we're like, ... You evolve and change over 10 years, and you try and make the music reflect that.

I always found the concept of a tortured artist distasteful.

We're finishing it this week, ... It's all recorded and is basically down to doing the vocal overdubs and mixing.
best good parts stuff transcend
I was never at my best when I was at my worst. When I did do good stuff in the past, it was because I was able to transcend the parts of my being that weren't healthy.
listening people problem understand
We never could understand what the problem was with people listening to your music. I thought that was the whole point.
