“The older ideas are rendering more and more bland music.” — Tom Jenkinson Quote

The older ideas are rendering more and more bland music.

I like my stuff 'cause I only ever end up with tracks that I really, really like. It always appeals to me.

Sometimes I think that I want to do something strictly basic, really simple. Just with a few chords. But I won't have anything more than two or three sentences in my head. That kind of evaporates once I start playing and then it goes off in whatever direction.

I don't know how many records I'm selling.

Doing something like that, quite radically changing your approach to sound in one go, could leave you high and dry. It's happened before where people have changed direction and then everyone's stopped liking their music.

A good writer knows that if her style and perceptions are really cooking, she can bring anything off. It's okay, of course, for novelists to depict bland, average families living bland, average lives in bland, average towns. But it isn't okay when those novelists don't outshine their bland, average subjects.

I think comedy has to be very fearless, or it just gets bland.

D is a wholesome key. It's not bland, like C. It's not neutral. It's probably on the bright side.

I'm pretty bland. I'm not a big decorator.

It's just that if you're not disruptive everything seems to be repeated endlessly - not so much the good things but the bland things - the ordinary things - the weaker things get repeated- the stronger things get suppressed and held down and hidden.
