I like the fact that everyone is nostalgic for vinyl, and I'm being nostalgic for CDs, which are like the new outdated things that no one is going to mourn the loss of - everyone's already written them off.

If you can do something that doesn't rely on a major melody but still sounds immediate rather than being obtuse and devoid of anything to catch onto, that's great.

It's an example of when three people think something's brilliant and one thinks it's terrible. I suppose that's what improvising can be like because you just don't really know how anyone's feeling about it. You come off stage like, "Was that good?"

For me, the audience is the most important thing in the whole chain, so finding out how they respond to things is a learning curve at all times.

I'll also listen to music on a Discman and realize how nice it can sound when it's not compressed to MP3 format.

To stop for years and then discover that the audience is getting smaller and smaller would be demoralizing.

You're trying to make music, and then at the end of it you give reasons for everything.
