notesNow every day there’s a short intermission
While I sleep they start dimming the lights
But I’ve seen everything I ever want to see
Screaming fire in the theater, people taking their seats
Watch it all go down like a stone in the stream
You fall for your reflection, you will drown in a dream- First Aid Kit ft. Conor Oberst and The Felice Brothers

notes"All of the vampires and werewolves we met on the set of The Vampire Diaries were nice regular folks just like most of us – good upstanding citizens, but forced to live with this secret tragic double-life dilemma. They treated us most fairly and with dignity and respect as they sucked our bodily fluids dry and smothered us in sexy kisses. God bless them. God bless them all."Jim James assures fans that My Morning Jacket were treated well and that no musicians were harmed in the making of the “Homecoming” episode of The Vampire Diaries.

notes"I think it all comes down to responsibility and conscience. If you’re leading a good life and you’re putting food on the table and you’re keeping a roof over family’s head and everybody’s got health insurance, then please buy our record. But if our country is too messed up to know that it’s the right thing to provide people with health insurance, and make it an option, it’s not some crazy agenda, (…) just make it happen. Yeah ‘cause if my friends can’t afford health insurance, then please steal music from the Internet all day long. But at the same time there’s a responsibility, because if you do have money and you can buy records, then you should buy records if you want to see your favorite bands keep making records."Jim James on filesharing, Boing Boing

notes"The inspiration for me always comes from all over the place, but mainly it comes from listening to older records, being inspired by older production styles, older guitar styles…. I never really suffer from a lack of inspiration because there are so many incredible records out there to listen to, so I’ve never really had that problem. The biggest problem I really run into is just finding time for everything I want to do." -

notes"There’s so much trouble in this world and we’re not going to solve it soon, but the main thing you guys have to remember is so basic… It’s the golden rule, treat others as you’d like to be treated." -

notes"I am still working on a new record, and I will, fingers crossed, have a new record out next year. I’m in post-production. All of the scenes have been shot; I’m just now in the process of tying everything together, and that’s a huge part of it for me, but I love the process. I love how everything’s coming together. It’s a little too early to say exactly what it is because I still don’t know what that is—but so far, so good." -

notes"It’s very inspiring to me just to know that maybe I’m inspiring other people. There’s a lot of younger kids that come up and say they want to be like me. I love that. It makes me feels so great. It really helps me know that I’m doing the right thing. I basically want to be like Jim James. When little me comes up and screams at me, I want to embrace those kids the same way that my heroes have embraced me. That’s really satisfying."Ruby Jane
