"When I was a teenager it was so easy. I compared myself to artists like Daniel Johnston, Kurt Cobain and Ian Curtis, I was suicidal but I took comfort in those thoughts, the idea that I could opt out anytime I wanted."
I wish I could still romanticize my sadness. · u/PsychologicalTree301 · ↑71 · 2023-03-31
"What a truly fascinating man. I just recently came across him again on Spotify. I totally forgot about his work and his music and it's bizarre to re-listen to it all. The weird voices, the skits, the organs, the low quality vibe! Ah! All of it was so interesting when I first came across him as a kid"
