I have been so blessed this last year and a half, two years, just with incredible people in my life making incredible music with me that really turns me on. Sort of coming to grips with the fact – every time I’ve ever put anything out I’ve always sort of just… strangled the idea of, “Well, people might not like this.” … every time I release something, I stare directly into the eyes of the fact that this might be it – this might be the thing that people are like, “Yeah this guy sucks.”

I listened to “Moon Song” and “Blood Song” and I thought these people that only liked “Seven Years” and “Act Appalled” are going to hear this and be like, “This guy’s getting old, I hate it,” and I’m sure a lot of people did that, you know? But I am not concerned with those people. It’s going to happen regardless – I don’t need to hurt myself with it. People are going to talk shit, they’re going to hate your new stuff and only want your old stuff… I don’t give a shit [laughs]. And it took me a long time to realize that. Man, fuck those people. That’s just the way it’s going to be. If I play to smaller and smaller crowds and and less and less people are buying the records… eh, that sucks, but if that’s just the way it’s got to be, then that’s the way it is.

With Beautiful Things, I thought people were going to hate it. From my perception, people really dug it. Again, my head’s up my ass so I don’t know… The thing with Circa; I’ve never had a release with Circa that I felt like it was a bum-out to the core people who get what we’re trying to do. I feel like those core people, they want us to change. They want us to be stoked with it – and if we’re stoked with it, then they’ll follow it. And if they stop, we’re going to keep going …. we’re always ready for that last shoe to drop, and for people to turn their backs, but they seem to follow us through the depths of fuckin’ serious darkness.
