I Think Everybody Works From

A Record Is Something That Isn't Real Or True. It's Like Cinema. It's A Construction Of Something Hyper-real And Surreal And Unreal All At The Same Time. You Make A Space That Doesn't Really Exist. One Of The Big Joys Of Being In This Line Of Work Is Building The Recorded Versions Of The Songs.

Sometimes We Need To Tell Ourselves That We're Not Going To Do Certain Things, Just In Order To Stay Sane.

We Always Keep Things Very, Very Simple. We Can Make A Respectable Living Playing A Smaller Room That Somebody Else Couldn't, Because They're Spending A Lot Of Money. If We Can't Get A Show Up And Deliver With What We Almost Intrinsically Have In Our Brains And Our Pockets, Then I Don't Really Want To Do It.

I Had A Lot Of Time To Myself, And I Would Listen To A Lot Of Music, Mostly Music That I Knew Fairly Well And Had A Relationship With. And I'd Think, Well, What Is It That I've Never Been Able To Do That This Person Or People Are Able To Do With This Song? Why Haven't I Been Able To Do It, And What Can They Do That I Wish I Could Do? And Then I'd Try To Do That. I'd Start Each Day Getting Into The Songs, And I'd Think About How I Might Get Closer To This Music That I Love, But Haven't Been Able To Make Before.

There's Nothing That Compares To Watching That Final Of Charles Mee’s 'the Glory Of The World' Play At Bam17 To 20 Minute Sequence In One Sitting. It Fills You With A Giddy Energy Watching That. Then, Being Gifted With The Silence That Follows...i've Never Had A Theatrical Experience Like That Before, I'm Sure.
