"[STEPHEN MICHAEL MCDOWELL AKA BUTTERCUP MCGILLICUDDY’S VIDEO INTERVIEW]

‘I don’t know, I feel like I’d say something really hedonistic or self-loathing. Something like, I don’t know. Yeah, that’s probably it, ‘I don’t know.’

‘I feel like between 2006 and 2009 there was a mini-music renaissance because a lot of different genres were invented, and the soundscapes just got really weird and wholly digital. I felt really fascinated by all the dance music and indie music and electronic music that was coming out. I feel like I was inspired by all of it - the whole scope of it. So I tried to mash up genres and make really weird sounds.’

needless to say, Buttercup is ‘prolific’
I watched his film the ‘other night’ - watch it - it’s cool
his writing too
& although he ‘makes a lot’, his ‘work’ doesn’t exhibit a ‘quantity over quality’ flavor
*
in the interview
he recommends Sarah Jean Alexander, Theo Thimo, & Lucy K Shaw
Frank Hinton, Tao Lin
Chris Dankland’s NEATOMOSQUITOALTLITFIREWORKSSHOW
