I like a narrative, even if it's fractured, or kind of psychedelic. But my favorite thing is if I hear words and I close my eyes and the connotations or the image I get in my head, combine with the sound of them - sometimes phonetics. I'm just stringing those together.
Stephen MalkmusI like that band Get Hustle. They're cool live. I haven't heard their records, though.
Stephen MalkmusIf you'd rather learn how to ride a horse or something, I would say do that. That'll keep you out of trouble. You would think a band would get you in trouble, but I think it's the opposite.
Stephen MalkmusThere's no point that an album should sound like a watered down version of another album.
