In which, holy shit, I talked to Kim Deal.
- Jay: Ok, this is kind of a weird question, but did you really do your hair with mayo before a Breeders show?
- Kim Deal: Oh, mayo, let me see ... Butter, a piece of ham, anything that was greasy. Yeah. I used beer. Beer's not the best, though, 'cause it doesn't have a lot of grease in it. I don't do it all the time. It was when my hair was a certain length, and I'd just washed it. It would just be all over the place, so I'd grease it down so it would stay in place.
Writer’s block is a bourgeois conceit. Just get to work.
— John Darnielle (via cleversimon)
Everything you ever create appears to you as an accumulation of defeats. “Here’s where I gave up trying to get that part right and moved on to the next part.” Because at every turn, it’s apparent to you exactly how poorly executed your work-in-progress is, and how far short it will inevitably fall when completed. But surrender you must, at each step of the process, because the alternative is to never complete anything—or to never start at all.
