As music becomes more computer-based, it's lost some emotional impact.

Your heart is a drum keeping time with everyone.

In Japan, you get on the bullet train or the airplane, and I loved the little speeches the stewardesses would do. They even do little speeches before you play gigs.

I've been practicing for years, trying to figure out how to record an entire band live.

I'm sure the music is going to come out. I'm not sure if I'm going to put out 12"s or put the songs on my website. I just have to get them done.

I did that Grammys thing - I did a little freeform poem.

You can't write if you can't relate.
