dunno, man. for me, writing a good, hateful / angry / sad tune is like putting the demons in a box.

they're out of my head and they're stuck down now, in the song. the act of analysis by writing and later, listening to the song, takes some of the bad feeling out of my head and makes something at least vaguely useful out of it.

but sometimes i like to think that i have something more pleasant in my head, too, hence the compilation. :)
