I can't take any more new controversies on the Internet.

All right, well, you might be slightly offended by this.

All right, but anyway.

And I was burned out.

I'd had enough.

Because of the TS Weld thing left a bad taste in my mouth.

And Lars, my partner Lars, he took the worst of it.

And well,

I guess when you've been in the, quote, biz for a long time, you get pretty good at writing lyrics.

Well, I think I'm getting better.

You know, a lot of this stuff, I never really, fuck it.

I'm not the smartest cat around.

Like, wait, the most aware person.

I'm not very aware a lot of times.

Like, I'm just stumbling through life doing whatever.

Here's the joy killer.

Yeah.

I, when I, I did a, my o- I, I directed the, the, I don't, I don't, it's not really a documentary.

I don't know what you'd call it.

It's me doing standup for two hours in front of an audience of nuns and police.

But, uh, anyway, uh, so, so when I did that, I had to do so much of everything.

It's like [coughs] I'm out parking cars.

Yeah, if you get a, it's called Ignore Heroes, if you ever get a chance to watch it.

Mm-hmm.

And I think that that's like a really actually interesting, that's an interesting, I don't want to say tightrope to walk, but I think you said it like middle ground to kind of maintain or balance that.

Right.

And it's good.

I remember the first.

So if we're speaking on books right now, the first time I started writing, I had an agent and I worked for a year on something and he said, we don't.

release shit like this.

Basically was just, you know, this is crap.

One, why do you think that environment was so rough? And why were people drawn to that as punk in punk at the time?

He says stop, I stop, and then he starts screaming at me.

because yeah because he's stopping three seconds later and you don't think like you know you don't think in music that doesn't three seconds what's three seconds but if you're singing a melody well that's three seconds well what was the first note fuck i don't know what i mean what was the first note you know just gets crazy and then uh and so it the language issue between it's not even a language issue because lars is english is solid it's a pronunciation issue so if i say okay let's go to c and larsa go d no c b but b they don't have a b the germans don't have a b it's h It's an H.

In the German scale, the natural B is an H.

No, H, H.

So we had to like put words, like if you were saying B, C, G, D, E, those are all the same, right? So it's like, so we had to do words.

No, D, you're yelling to try to make it clear.

You know, I'm such, you know, just high anxiety that it was just

No.
