As society changes, as politics change, as people change, certain songs still seem to resonate.

Especially in music, you wonder, Okay, should I still be doing this? Like, are you overstaying your welcome at the party? But I don't know.

Anything goes. You always find interesting things that way.

There's 40 or 50 songs that nobody's heard that I've done in between albums. There's a whole evolution from Midnite Vultures to Sea Change that's never been released.

I'm always looking for older equipment and ways of recording, but you can't escape the fact that it's all going to be digitized and reduced.

Sometimes, reissues can be revelatory, or put the original record in a different light, but those are rare.

I think trying to be offbeat is the most boring thing possible.
