I like that band Get Hustle. They're cool live. I haven't heard their records, though.
Stephen MalkmusEvery song has a different genesis, or feeling. Usually the lyrics, I don't really know what it's all about, I just kinda do it.

Stephen MalkmusMy wife says that I changed people's lives or ways of thinking and that I should always be proud and grateful. If I'm dismissive of what we do sometimes, a little bit, she's like, "I was a fan, you changed my life," or whatever. That's what she says.
