Biography of Malcolm Wilson
I hated my brief fame. We had TV vans camped outside my house, reporters hounded me... people i'd know for years started treating me differently.
Tags: Fame, House, StartedI now believe that major labels can only work with people who care more about fame and money than the quality of the art they produce.
Tags: Art, Money, WorkSometimes, an afternoon spent in bed with someone can be the most important thing in the universe.
Tags: Someone, Sometimes, UniverseWe, the artists, make the stuff they sell and they're like ticks on our backs, sucking the life out of us.
Tags: Artists, Life, StuffEveryone has to find their own way, it's just that I don't want to go that way myself. If a band likes being on a major and feels happy there, good luck to them.
Tags: Everyone, Good, HappyI don't believe that recordings should sound radically better than the artist, I think that's dishonest. For example, I'm not a great singer but if I spent enough time tweaking my vocals, I could sound like one. But I don't, what you hear is pretty much what I sing.
Tags: Enough, Great, TimeI like 'Bewitched' off the first album because it's one of the happiest songs I've ever written and, as any writer will tell you, happy songs are a million times more difficult to write than sad songs.
Tags: Difficult, Happy, SadI like being 35, I like having a bit of money to spend on music and useless gadgets. The net is providing new ways to communicate and cooperate that just didn't exist in the 80s.
Tags: Bit, Money, MusicI will never sign to a major record label again. If, by some mega fluke, a record of mine looked like it might break big, I'd try and do it via an indie or somehow license it. I'm not having my music owned by those corporate bastards again.
Tags: Big, Music, TryIt's like someone cutting up a loved one in front of you, all the time insisting they've got your best interests at heart. They're very devious nowadays.
Tags: Best, Heart, TimeMusic is more emotional than prose, more revolutionary than poetry. I'm not saying I've got the answers, just a of questions that I don't hear other artists asking.
Tags: Emotional, Music, PoetryThere's so much excellent new music around that I can't afford to buy it all and I haven't the time to review as much as I'd like. I can't remember a better time to be a musician or to listen to music!
Tags: Music, Remember, TimeThey consistently hobble artists' in the name of selling more units then are surprised when the fans don't buy the lukewarm music this produces. So they then drop the artist.
Tags: Artist, Music, NameAll we do is sign great teams, and stay out of the way. The rest will take care of itself.
Tags: Care, Great, RestBeing a starving company isn't fun for anyone. Most that go away need to go away... but certainly not all.
Tags: Anyone, Away, FunOur developers will make great games for whatever high-end platforms exist.
Tags: Games, Great, WhateverConsolidation isn't new, though... it was a major factor in our rush to form the Gathering and place a stake in the ground to ensure that there is a solid path for developers who are willing to stay independent and build their own companies on their own terms.

I do NOT think that PC gaming is over... it will always be the choice of the gaming enthusiast who is willing to put in the extra effort for a richer, more rewarding experience.
Tags: Choice, Experience, PutI had no idea until I joined the games industry and met some of the power players, particularly those running large public companies, that much of this world is run by complete clowns.
Tags: Idea, Power, UntilI think that that multiplatform development is what's on the mind of most high-end PC developers now... this is really the first time in the industry's history that we've had console machines that can handle all that PC developers can deliver.
Tags: History, Mind, TimeKISS Psycho Circus is my current favorite. I'm not ashamed to say that I prefer the mindless fun of blasting hordes of creatures to exploration or adventure games.
Tags: Adventure, Fun, KissSeems like it's going to be really hard to make money at it, and, therefore, really hard to get any great games done. Much like Flash games, the audience is huge, but the content isn't likely to be good enough to have people pay for it.
Tags: Good, Great, MoneySo I guess the complete lack of any new developments is what struck me. That and the fact that much of the good we had done for the artists' side of the industry with G.O.D. had been just as quickly undone by the big boys.
