Guy picciotto had a really sound point: live albums basically have bands playing songs that are available on studio records, and what example can you think of where the live album is better? what are the great live albums? i have live albums of bands, but i wouldn't listen to them for the most part. so we thought, instead of spending energy trying to puzzle out how to create a live record, let's just write another studio record.

Song Writing Thinking

More From Ian MacKaye

That's what is so great about being able to record a 13-song album. you can do a very eclectic group of songs. you do have some almost pop songs in there, but you do have your traditional country, story songs. you have your ballads, your happy songs, your sad songs, your love songs, and your feisty songs.
Country Song Eclectic Style
All those experiences were a chance to learn more about music. playing with the valley band is like such a "live" band. i mean, really, in many ways bright eyes is really a studio project. we form bands to tour, but it really is - you know, we take the songs and we figure out how to decorate them and it's all in the studio, we build the songs that way. whereas mystic valley band was the exact opposite, where everybody knows what they are gonna be playing on the song and there's sort of a general stylistic approach, and then it's just plug in and play.
Song Mean Eye
I can't stress enough how important it is to write bad songs. there's a lot of people who don't want to finish songs because they don't think they're any good. well they're not good enough. write it! i want you to write me the worst songs you could possible write me because you won't write bad songs. you're thinking they're bad so you don't have to finish it. that's what i really think it is. well it's all right. well, how do you know? it's not done!
Song Stress Writing
Well, led zeppelin iv! that's it really. i'll tell you why the album had no title - because we were so fed up with the reactions to the third album, that people couldn't understand why that record wasn't a direct continuation of the second album. and then people said we were a hype and all, which was the furthest thing from what we were. so we just said, `let's put out an album with no title at all!' that way, either people like it or they don't... but we still got bad reviews!
Hype People Titles
My dream many years ago would've been to continue to write and record songs in record/album form for years to come, but now records aren't what they were then - and so it doesn't actually feel very good to make a record of songs.
Dream Song Writing
Blackheart records being 25 years old represents staying power and the fact that we weren't able to get a record out through conventional means, so we had to create this record company to put out our records if we wanted to be a band that had records to give out to their fans.
