The Angels of Light Quotes

It doesn't excite me at all presently. It's like wresting with a huge and overgrown, retarded child, that keeps biting my neck, trying to devour my larynx. I feel that once I kill this ugly thing, more good music will result....
Michael Gira

I am definitely less and less interested in music made by people that exist today, people that are living. I just see them as part of the whole stupid process of the music business, desperate (even if they feign indifference) to get noticed, trying to "make it" in the stinking music business, to become "famous" etc, and it disgusts me.

Well, dozens of people have come and gone, too many to mention, but Bill Rieflin is now the drummer for R.E.M.. Thor Harris plays drums and vibes etc with Smog and with Shearwater. Larry Mullins lives in Berlin and produces other people's music and also plays with huge French rock stars, whose names I can't remember! Dana Schechter lives there too, and has a band called Bee and Flower. Christoph Hahn also lives in Berlin and has a Rockabilly-Noir band called Les Hommes Sauvages. Uh, Devendra Banhart played guitar in Angels on a tour and contributed to some recordings - I guess he's doing OK now... The list goes on...
