If it's any good, it takes you on a journey through your head that sometimes allows you to forget yourself.
Not sure, but I know what my music nightmare is.

Sound feels cooped up in your head until you let it out.
There is no message.
I don't.
Everything is fine. It's a golden age.
Not sure yet. I probably shouldn't even be on it with all these real musicians.
Lack of time.
My local scene seems to be mainly cover or standards bands, so I'm probably missing out on what is actually happening.
A huge marketing budget, a media-friendly gimmick, or both.
I have no idea who you haven't heard of. I like Idles at the moment but you've heard of them. Also playing some old Kevin Ayres and Robert Wyatt. Though the new Regal Worm album is really good.
