This is a very screwed-up business. Record labels don't sign a lot of bands these days. We just want to find a home and stay there and make records and do our thing and not have to look over our shoulder.

When I did the record, I was coming off a time when my contract had been sold and the music industry had changed a lot. I didn't understand how to make records for big labels. I was waiting for a new kind of record label to emerge.

I was always looking to record, but how much I actually pursued it was another thing. The major labels weren't that interested in me, and the smaller labels didn't have any money to do anything.
A lot of big labels will just sign bands like a write off.
We went into that knowing that we were never going to sell a major record 'cause we didn't sound like these bands, so I just thought this was an opportunity for us to make the kind of records that we wanted and make some money at the same time.

Cheap Shot
Well the record company's goin' out of business
They price the records too damn high
And the boys in the band could use some assistance
Well the record company's goin' out of business
They price the records too damn high
And the boys in the band could use some assistance
Get a daytime job just to get by
Well the P.D.'s they won't play the record
They're too worried about that book
And the D.J's they all hate the song
But they're in love with the hook
Chorus
So na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
I bet you've heard this song before
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Take your cocaine and hit the door
Well folk rock, punk rock, power pop music
Turned out to be the latest trends
And ther ain't no more progressive music
The business has put it to an end
Ol' "Rolling Stone" has gathered some moss
No they ain't what they used to be
They try to look like "Look" with their political pages
And advertising all over T.V.

Blackheart Records being 25 years old represents staying power and the fact that we weren't able to get a record out through conventional means, so we had to create this record company to put out our records if we wanted to be a band that had records to give out to their fans.
We aren't as concerned about the live aspect as other labels. The best live bands are the easiest to record.
When it all started, record companies - and there were many of them, and this was a good thing - were run by people who loved records, people like Ahmet Ertegun, who ran Atlantic Records, who were record collectors. They got in it because they loved music.

Lay Down Stay Down
I dont care if my ladys gone
As long as you give me just what I want.
Ive been losin my direction,
Got to find a new connection.
You have wasted the love I tasted,
Now Im really gettin hungry more and more.
Been a long time, had a bad sign.
Tell me what am I fighting for?
Let me know you feel it,
You know I really need it.
Keep on pushin for more,
Lay down, stay down.
I got something to find,
Theres one thing I really need.
Im gonna tell you right now,
Lay down, stay down.
Lookin for trouble, I guess thats right.
When I was young I was taught to fight.
Its been long gone since I had known,
Now Im headin for some more.
Let me know you feel it,
You know I really need it.
Keep on pushin for more,
Lay down, stay down.
I got something to find,
Theres one thing I really need.
Im gonna tell you right now,
Lay down, stay down.
Let me know you feel it,
You know I really need it.
Keep on pushin for more,
Lay down, stay down.
I got something to find,
Theres one thing I really need.
Im gonna tell you right now,
Lay down, stay down.

Find Another Shoulder
I told you babe once before
Dont want you hangin around my door
You better find another shoulder
Find another shoulder
Find another shoulder
cause honey, I dont love you anymore.
I told you babe, youre no good,
Dont want you messin up my neighborhood.
You better find another shoulder
Find another shoulder, babe
Find another shoulder
cause honey, I dont love you anymore.
Ah, heres your ticket for the coast, start light,
Leave here baby, stay out of sight.
You better find another shoulder
Find another shoulder
Find another shoulder
cause honey, I dont love you anymore.
Find another shoulder
Find another shoulder
You better find another shoulder
cause honey, I dont love you anymore.
I told you baby, once before
Dont want you messin outside my door
You better find another shoulder
Find another shoulder
Find another shoulder
cause honey, I dont love you anymore.

The record business is dangerous to the health of bands and individuals, which is something I'm just now learning. But it's not dangerous in any of the ways people think; it's not that they try to make you compromise your art. That's not the problem.

My House
Im moving my car forward a foot at a time
Another red light another warning sign
Is that rain on the windshield
Wonder if its raining on the jersey side
Tapping my fingers to the radio
But I dont hear a thing
Watching the hookers move in and out of the light
One of these days one of these days . . .
One of these days
Im gonna smash somebodys car
And smash the coppers face
As they take me away . . .
But I gotta go home now
(dont wanna go to my house)
Only forty minutes to the jersey side
Me and suzy used to read the news and stay up all night
We used to see a lot of people then we just got tired
And gave birth to a perfect little alibi
I take a sip of diet soda and loosen my tie
Another red light another warning sign
Hey that puerto rican hooker must be six feet tall
One of these days one of these days . . .
One of these days
Im gonna turn the car around
And keep on going
til I lose track of time . . .
But I gotta go home now
(dont wanna go to my house)
Thirty five minutes to the jersey side
Another red light another warning sign
One of these days one of these days

In 1980, I moved to Chicago, and I recorded demo tapes for my friends' bands, and in 1981, the first Big Black record - the first thing I did that was an actual record.

The movie business is very difficult but the music business is just impossible. So I'll play in bands and record and play songs with other people, but for me it's a form of expression that all I need is me. I don't need cameras or agents, I can just have a piano and sing and feel totally verified.

It's typical of record companies. They sign you because you're unique, and then they want to put you in a mold so they can sell records.

But you couldnt do right
When I asked you for the truth
All you do is lie

Only a certain number of people go to a store over the period of a year. When a person sees my record on the shelf, it eliminates someone else's record from being sold. It's about continuing to try to find new ways to sell records.
