I guess there are two things that make me like songs generally, of ours, and that is if they groove well, or if they have a jam that can go somewhere.

It's really important for the bass and the drums to somehow blend.

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.

In order to have that incredible groove that makes you dream you have to think not of the groove, but of the dream.

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.

As long as we keep learning new music and getting better musically, there's a good chance that the record deal won't change anything.
