Perfection...

Ani Difranco on...

"That whole culture of perfection, I have no patience for that. Making music is so immediate, and the fact that there’s no audience in the studio is a hurdle for me to begin with. I just can’t sit around and try and make the perfect vocal and the perfect guitar track. I lose artistic inspiration for that kind of obsessiveness. So what I’ve learned to do these days, starting with the Up Up Up record, is to record a bunch of different times, because the song as you play it on any given day is just that day’s interpretation."

I came across these really interesting thesis papers written by a student name Andrew Mall. He's got a few available, one I especially liked dealing with indepedent music and subcultures. I should forward it to Randy.

I think they're worth checking out.
