Ty Segall Quotes

• There’s the conforming 9-to-5-lifestyle thing. Then there’s, like, settling down, trying to find a balance in a relationship sense, or having a dog and having a house. All these things, like, they’re not really gonna make you happy.

• My favorite records are, like, The Pretty Things’ ‘Parachute’ and ‘S.F. Sorrow’ and The Mothers of Invention’s ‘We’re Only in It for the Money’ and The Kinks’ ‘Village Green Preservation Society’ – these records that have a story – even if it’s not a literal story – because of how they’re sequenced and flow. It’s like a novel with sound.

• I’m jamming ‘Black Sabbath Vol. 4’ all the time. Zappa’s ‘Cruising With Ruben & The Jets.’ A lot of Gong lately. Some Hawkwind. The Residents’ ‘Duck Stab’ is amazing. Some Fugs. Lots of stuff, man. I’m pretty schizophrenic with records.

• I really like to think of each record as its own thing. So, for sure, but I hate the idea of being stuck in anything. Like I want to do a Hawkwind-style record too, or a noise rock record or a hardcore record. Why not, you know? I would just not want to keep heading too far in one direction, without pulling off and going the other way.

• But I think it’s hard for me to only put out one record a year. Because I get too antsy. But it’s good I’m learning to do that, because each record counts. And you should make it count.
