Jim O'Rourke || Interview [monk-mink-pink-punk]



... Another HERO of mine.


...

Q: How is Japan? Could you talk about why you left New York for Japan?

Jim: it’s great. for me, it’s great, you know everyone has their place they feel comfortable, so, saying it’s great wouldn’t apply to everyone, for sure. but for me, couldn’t be happier.

...

Q: I am sorry to hear you are not holed up making you cinematic masterpiece. Have you been seeing much of new Japanese cinema?

Jim: not really, i must admit i don’t pay attention to anything new, in anything, culture, film, music, etc. it’s funny cause i distinctly remember getting frustrated with older folks i worked with when i was in my 20s, never understanding why they just listened/watched the stuff they’ve liked their whole life, and didn’t stay “on top of things.” i sure understand now, hahah.
