I’m one of those people who lives in constant fear of being found out as not any good. Whenever I’m writing anything I’m just thinking “This is fucking shit, any minute now someone’s gonna come and slap this computer out of my hands.” And every week without fail, if I write a column, every week without fail I finish it and I go and I’ll turn around to my wife and she’ll go “How was that?” and I go “Just fucking shit, I’ve just written the worst piece of fucking shit anyone’s ever written, I’m such a cunt.” And then it’ll come out and people seem to think it’s okay, and so then I just think people are fucking idiots.

Sounds familiar.

I still endorse Peter Schjeldahl’s advice on how to become an artist: ‘You move to a city. You hang out in bars. You form a gang, turn it into a scene, and turn that into a movement.’ Then, I would suggest, when your movement hits the museum, abandon it.

Line Out: Brian Cook Chronicles Russian Circles Euro Tour Diary Pt. 4 w/ Deafheaven
Cologne, Germany
I packed light for this trip. I can wear the same pair of jeans for the whole trip. I try to milk two or three days out of a t-shirt. Socks and underwear require daily changing. So my luggage is basically just socks and underwear. I brought two button-up shirts, and today I rip open the back of one of them trying to do a Ray Cappo jump in a music store parking lot.
Tonight’s club is another one of those converted factory/warehouse spaces. Not sure if it’s a squat, necessarily, but it definitely feels like one. The promoter is a very outgoing, boisterous, jolly German guy named Uncle George. It winds up being my favorite show of tour thus far. Good sound, good crowd, good vibes. Even Deafheaven seems to have gotten over their whole choking-and-punching incident from Paris.
