I feel that music is more flexible than language and your song, or "piece" is only as flexible as your least flexible component.

A lot of bands are still just bands that artists ask to get involved, but a lot of artists are using sound they create. This is different from referencing music.

I've been creating work by silk-screening images of arms and legs and heads and objects on paper - like drawings of vegetables, guns, hats, whatever - and then also printing sheets of patterns, colorful polka dots and line drawing patterns.

I hope to incorporate more variety of beats, more syncopation. It becomes very easy to play straight beats; straight rock is alluring.

Gross things sound funny and set people up to listen to something a little uninviting.

You can't be both a painter and a musician and master anything. You can't. And live a life.

I have always felt a little held back by working with other people in recording.
