I don't listen to a ton of music other than putting my show together, just because my lifestyle isn't too conducive to listening to music all the time. I like to watch basketball, and I would rather not listen to music while I'm doing that.

That's one of those hazards of an interview: You get tired of your stock answer and you try to get creative and even play devil's advocate.

There are lot of bands that have too many songs, I think.

For me, I'm more of a songwriter than a guitar player or singer. And not having things to work on was really kind of nice.

If people like electronic music, then great - let that be the next thing. I don't think I ever really will, but there's plenty of records for me to go buy.

I could never settle down into a reggae band, that's too bizarre.

My whole view of music completely flipped over on its head. I grew up listening to punk rock, SST. I liked people that were making music that weren't necessarily very good at their instruments, it was more about the ideas they had than how well they could play and sing.
