Dean Wareham Quotes

The fact I have an education forms my lyrical style, I’m sure. I studied the social sciences, history, stuff like that. I have an interest in politics, which maybe works its way into the songs in small, subtle ways Picture Quote #1

People forget that keeping a band together is hard; man, it’s really hard. All the cliches apply about living in each other’s pockets; of it being a relationship, a marriage, a family Picture Quote #1

It’s easy enough to foist your music collection on your kids. Lectures are not required; you just play the stuff while they are prisoner in the back seat on a long drive, or softly in the background while eating dinner Picture Quote #1

Things can turn ugly so quickly in the music business, especially if you have an unexpected success Picture Quote #1

Once you hit 40, being in a band - a committee voting constantly on what you’re going to be doing next month - it’s more of a challenge. And when you have a kid as well Picture Quote #1

My favorite Galaxie 500 album is the first one, ‘Today,’ recorded in three days at Noise New York and produced by Kramer. It contains my favorite Galaxie 500 songs: ‘Temperature’s Rising,’ ‘Tugboat,’ and our interpretation of Jonathan Richman’s ‘Don’t Let Our Youth Go to Waste.’ Picture Quote #1

It’s weird being an author because it’s different than writing songs. You put so much more of yourself out there to be judged because it’s a memoir. So when the reviews come in, they all feel really personal. Some people are just going to hate you no matter what. Personally, I never believe good reviews Picture Quote #1

I’m tired of being in a band, but I do want to continue making records and performing, at least a little bit. Making the records isn’t always fun. It’s fun to be finished with them. Making beautiful things can be quite painful Picture Quote #1

I guess, for me, what started me getting real excited about music was the New York punk and new-wave scene. All those bands looked back to the Velvet Underground and the Stooges and the Modern Lovers as well. But that was back when Television were punk, and the Talking Heads were punk Picture Quote #1

The thing about interviews is that if someone interviews you, and they’re an idiot, then they make you sound like an idiot, too. They ask you stupid questions, and they bring you down to their level. It’s tempting to not ever want to talk to anybody, but you can’t do that Picture Quote #1

Galaxie 500 broke up because it was time. We broke up as a result of internal contradictions Picture Quote #1

People forget that keeping a band together is hard; man, it’s really hard. All the cliches apply about living in each other’s pockets; of it being a relationship, a marriage, a family Picture Quote #1

It’s hard to imagine the whole punk movement without The Velvet Underground. I toured with them when they did their reunion tour, and no one sounds like that; they are a very unique-sounding band Picture Quote #1

I know I get a real kick, an emotional charge, out of playing a song I haven’t played for 10 years. It just takes you back to that point in your life Picture Quote #1

I have a slightly bourgeois upbringing, I guess. My parents paid for me to go to school, which is nice, but I haven’t gotten a dime since then. I have no trust fund. I wish I did Picture Quote #1

There’s all kinds of ways to be misunderstood, and one of them is via the interview Picture Quote #1

Great guitar players are a dime a dozen. It is sometimes your very limitations as players that set you apart from the crowd Picture Quote #1

Rock is periodically pronounced dead by clear rock critics - killed by world music, or by hip-hop, or electronica, or the Backstreet Boys. But if you wait a year, it comes back to life Picture Quote #1
