the sweetest girl
...at the time there was this question about whether you liked very commercial music or not. There was also this whole ideology going on within local culture, as it were, of independence versus mainstream, of commercial versus non-commercial and I just thought this was shadow-boxing; I didn't see it as making much difference in the balance of power between rich and poor what kind of records you made. I just couldn't see the connection.
