“If you’re a woman who spends time searching the internet to tear other women down for how they look, you are a terrible person.

“The problem with the way to make music today, these are turnkey systems; they come with preset banks and sounds.

Then it creates a very vicious cycle: How can you challenge that when the system and the media are not challenging it in the first place?” — Daft Punk

“New studio’s gonna be decorated with film inspiration since that’s really what drives my musical creativity. Just acquired the following original posters: Enter The Void (47x63 Paris bus stop display), Mulholland Dr (27x40 one sheet), Inland Empire (40x30 UK quad), The Tree of Life (27x40 one sheet), The Tree of Life (40x30 UK quad), and Lost Highway (27x40 one sheet). If anyone works in a theater playing To The Wonder and wants to hook me up with that poster…”
Labels make it easy to divide and dehumanize.
