I don't make RECORDS that way, where I'm TRYING to please the marketplace or anything. Not because I have anything against that, it's just NEVER been a part of my aesthetic, EVEN when I was with the Pixies.

In the ASIAN marketplace, we need to come out with PRODUCTS EVERY NINE months, not every two years.
