Pitchfork: You've been making music for 15 years. As I get older, I've found-- and this is a little depressing...
Harvey: How old are you? You can't be more than 15!
Pitchfork: I'm 27, and I think this is endemic of my generation, in a way, but I don't require music in the same desperate ways that I did when I was 15. Have you found that your relationship with music has changed over time?
-Interview by Pitchfork's Amanda Petrusich with PJ Harvey
Ah, that scares me. I hope I never feel like that. Fucking, growing up! No, not me. Sorry, I give this spiel a lot but...I just thought that quote was notable and applicable. Also, my friend Allison, I lent her the Basic Eight initially thinking she would love it. I forgot she's now a twenty year old young lady, college and all. So she isn't really liking it, but she might have were this her senior year. I guess that makes sense but it was still revealing and interesting and saddening kind of. But then again it wasn't really my life so I don't think I was actually that saddened.

this has already has already been the cause of my early life crisis, and there's about a 95% chance it will be my midlife crisis too. :(
Fair enough man. I see what you're saying, but I enjoy it. You know, I read the same article and didn't really think much of that statement. I guess that's because music helps my disillusionment with people. I hope it still does so 15 years from now, but, I'll probably be another robot in the corporate machine. Shit

i don't think i'll ever be able to live without music. I've never been able too before.
