I'm actually embarrassed by the idea of writing songs about myself - I imagine someone hearing them and thinking This guy is a bit self-obsessed. I don't know if I really have a persona, in that respect. I want to just make the music and hide away.

I hope nobody I wrote about becomes too upset.

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

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.

There was a time when beheadings were in the public mind because people around the world were getting their heads cut off for various reasons.

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.

The internet becomes too arch. The clip is uploaded and reuploaded endlessly with banner headlines and crappy 3-D graphics. Stuff rots in this supposedly clinical space.
