Video with 1 note

We’re not pursuing any kind of music, we just like sound.

Found this video tonight of a Billy Childish interview / Thee Headcoats performance.  I was expecting nothing really, and the audio’s not great, but it’s actually quite densely packed with information.  Childish explains in just a few minutes so many key points in the philosophy of underground rock… the man’s a genius.

I’ve spent the past several months really getting my ass kicked by how great Childish’s stuff is, so hearing him talk about living on social security was sort of an eye-opener, but it makes sense; the best art never comes from extravagance (fuck you, Wagner).

I don’t want to be a professional… Hopefully we can carry on for a long time without turning into a bunch of charlatans.

By the way, my favorite comment from this video:

You Fucker! You rock, my brother!
I was at both the Jabberjaw show and the reading/art/gig at LACE. I still have the flyer I peeled off the wall!
Just the fact, that you remember Jabberjaw says everything!
Carry on!
