I'm thinking, I'm singing like Ozzy Osbourne, but I don't sound like him enough, ever.

When you do a cover it's a way to get attention clicking on something. At the Quiet Music Festival, The Jicks did this Nirvana song, very unrehearsed and not important, but then all the websites were like, "They covered Nirvana!" People like covers of famous people.

I think it's just entertainment for people that are interested in the form. To sing along to and be psyched by.

We care if people like what we did. If you're just making records for yourself, why put them out and do all these interviews and do touring? I'm a huge music fan, and this is what I do with my artistic time. It's all I really do, except hang out with my family. I value human relationships, and it's a way for me to interact with the world and feel like I'm part of something.

Well, yeah, I sang to some songs on the radio or in the shower.

We're not on a desperate mission to write chart compatible stuff.

I'm not dying for everyone to hear everything we do. Forty minutes every two years is sensible.
