"At the end, the reason why I yell all the band names, is because I suddenly realized that this is what you do when you know things. Knowing things, knowledge, or your attachment to things, your self-association with other bands, or books, or whatever. It’s often like this weird amulet that protects you. Like “No, I am serious, look at my library, listen to this!” I can list all the books I’ve read, and now you know I am a serious person. And so it’s just supposed to be this amulet swinging around me to protect me from being seen as anything I didn’t want to be seen as."

James Murphy on “Losing My Edge”, from yesterday’s episode of Fresh Air with Terry Gross. This is a terrific interview. (via perpetua) (via fuckyeahlcdsoundsystem) (via pitchfork) (via invisibleidiot) (via thedarkspark)
