jeff mangum interview is up at pitchfork. an amazing person. if our society was set up structurally around honesty and spirituality, like in some eastern cultures, understanding and love would prevail. instead, we hide from the truth by easily accepting dogma's that are comfortably set in place in our society, we lie to ourselves and others by simply not questioning and just blindly conform to our society's norms, and, as a result, suppress the truth, and the search for truth. few are able and willing to face this, break out, and purge assumptions imposed on them through honestly facing the truth, and when that happens, sometimes beautiful art is revealed in the wake - such is the music of jeff mangum.
thanks mat
