I feel like people want to be surprised when they get out of the movies. They want something thrown at them they didn't expect. They want stuff that reminds them of the feelings that you get when you're watching art house movies but with the fun of like a big summer movie. That's the goal, I guess.
Musicians tend to get bored playing the same thing over and over, so I think it's natural to experiment.
I used to live a very social life and never spend much solitary time looking at birds or reading.
