We're kind of like the smoking section in high school. We're immature, keep to ourselves.

I love to musicalize things. You do employ a whole level of gravity. You use the emotional heft of music.

If you're working with a band and you really want to work them into the episode, you've got to say to them, "Look, we need you around every day and on Tuesday night all night because we need you to do voices as we're changing stuff."
