I actually think that 'Bandbox,' by far the silliest of my books, is the best constructed of them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There are certain pieces of music that are always attached to certain books.
Some books I've kept because the binding is beautiful - I'm unlikely ever to read my grandmother's copy of 'The Life of Lord Nelson.' I'm addicted to secondhand bookshops.
How do you possibly say that a cover band is better than the band that created and wrote the material? It's absurd.
I have this obsession with really cool, old books.
I like expansive stuff that has a lot of space in it, like some of the early Pink Floyd albums.
All my books are about one major idea and two or three subsidiary ones. I have thought a lot about music when constructing books, and I like the way in music that themes come back.
My favorite books, art pieces, films, and music, always have something jarring about them.
I like really sparse electronics, lush arrangements, and interesting chord structures.
I'm an obsessive musical theatre person, so some of the most formative albums for me were, you know, the 'Phantom Of The Opera' soundtrack or 'Into The Woods.'
I picked books by their covers - the worse the cover, the more I wanted to read it.
