I take enormous pride in considering myself an artist, one of the necessaries. Michener, James A. on Writers and Writing Quote from Quotations Book

Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going? Just as in European art around the time Paul Gauguin was taking an extended tropical vacation, a new "primitivism" has been sweeping through indie rock, as bands like Animal Collective, El Guincho, Ruby Suns, Vampire Weekend, and Abe Vigoda borrow from African and Micronesian musics.
