Someone explained parallax error to me, and I thought Ah, with a cheap camera, it would be pretty easy to behead someone.

It'd be tricky to read into my lyrics - some are autobiographical, but sometimes I just like the sound of words.

It's easy to not work on my album. I go out to the cinema, catch up with friends, eat, watch "Curb Your Enthusiasm" - that sort of thing.

I got really paranoid, burning every song onto three CDs and hiding them in various places around the house just in case I got burgled and there was, y'know, a fire in my bedroom. I told friends where I was hiding them in case I was killed.

I don't think of my music as something that works well in the background. And because a lot of it isn't in 4/4, people might not like to dance to it.

I love the finished product, but I find working in the studio a chore - I use an old-fashioned setup, so the recording process can be frustrating.

The nice thing about working for a label like Domino is that there's no pressure: They've got a roster of 40 active bands, and they can bang out an album or single in a week, so it's not the end of the world to not have a Max Tundra album in 2005.
