Listening to Vin Scully’s play-by-play is like following Beethoven’s 6th Symphony on a warm night in the Hollywood Bowl.

Fuck the police, fuck Fleet Street, fuck anyone who says I was wrong to do heroin. I know, I don’t need to be told.

Nobody ever asks me what guitar strings I use or what I was doing in my latest video. They all want to know when am I going to think up a good rhyme for ‘socialism.’

My hotel check-in name used to be Mr. BL Zebub. In America, staff were like ‘Good morning, Mr. Zebub.’ But in Poland or Russia the person bringing you room service is often a super-fan. They’re calling you this weird name, but they know that you know that they know.

Top: After taking a cheap elbow to the head, Luke Gazdic @texasstars calls out an unwilling Theo Peckham on 15 Feb 2013. If you don’t want to fight that’s OK but if you don’t want to fight don’t do things that warrant one.
Bottom: The very next night, Peckham drew a boarding major and put Alex Chiasson out of commission for almost three weeks.

I wasn’t thriving socially, so I stayed in my room and played guitar. At the time, I thought I was inventing a new sound that would change the whole outlook of music. I’ve discovered in the last few years that it was just the Seattle SubPop sound.

People come up to me like I’m this grim, have-a-noose-around-my-neck-at-all-times kind of person. That’s not the case at all.

It is very hard to complain when people approve of you, but I manage it.

Bondage wasn’t for me. I spent time during my years in Los Angeles at fetish clubs. I’m all for trying things. But when you’ve taken it to a certain level and you’re in some basement tied to an easel, it’s very hard to get back to any kind of normal intimacy.
