GIVE UP.

Why make music when there’s already more than any-

one could ever listen to in their entire lie?

IT WASN’T ALWAYS THIS WAY. We used to have some time

to ourselves. You could do your own thing and competewith people your own age. THAT WAS HARD ENOUGH.

But then RECORDING and DIGITIZATION. Now you don’t

have any time to yoursel. Now you have to compete

with ALL OF HISTORY. Nobody seems to get it, so I’m go-

ing to PROVE IT. I’m going to break music.

GIVE UP, because no one’s going to listen to anythingyou ever make. Not when they can listen to the Beach

Boys and Bob Dylan and Radiohead and WOLFGANG

AMADEUS MOZART orever and ever, and never hear the

same song twice.
