Actually, it's great to play with someone who tries to come up with interesting drum beats because it pushes the music in different directions.

It does make sense to put on some songs that are relatively short, because radio usually only plays songs that are less than 4 or 5 minutes.

I'm not really satisfied with anything I have written to date.

I feel like I want to write some songs and I don't know how to go about doing it. Usually it's the lyrics that are a problem, and I think I am not really cut out to be a lyricist.

I've written some poetry, but...songs have to be more poetic, and I've really gotten to this non-poetic sort of writing.

The guy we want to get is the guy who did the Aerosmith album which is coming out in two days, and a Chili Peppers album, and a couple of Pearl Jam albums. We want to get someone that will sort of bring out the high energy aspect more than the dreaminess that was on the last album.
