Outside my window

Disintegrator/Incinerator

Two obsessions, combined into one

New Age Firebomb

We didn’t think anyone would be listening, so maybe that’s why we felt quite free to do whatever. The good thing about it of course was it was just for ourselves, and not some prick at some big record label. In that way, it was sort of defiant; I was very uninterested in taking advice from producers, or anyone who had a record company, or even my fellow musicians. It was just the whole attitude of youthful defiance: "I don’t care if I’m not making any money, I don’t care if I die in a gutter, I’m doing this!" I can remember the spirit; I can still stand up now and applaud my younger self for being a completely defiant, awkward bastard who told everybody to fuck off, never made any money, and still won.
