So it would be a Breeders thing where Kelley would come down and record. We went to New York City, and that's when we saw Kelley kicking.
I like the club. It looks nice with all the tables out. They were freaking out, the Gilly's people.
It's like they had a backlash the first 11 years. I think the reason why it always seems like there's a backlash is because when bands are unknown, they only get written about by fans.
Bob summed it up best when he was on his knees at the end of the night saying, 'Don't trust in Guided By Voices.' You were there; was the show awful or something? I know it was sloppy, but they're not really that tight anyway, but was it embarrassing, was it sad?

I don't think there's anything innately erotic about pigs. But, generally, they are sweet, shy, mysterious creatures. Especially the little ones. When they get big, they get kinda gross
To my mind, there is a reason that music is there and it's about being human.
