apples iphone design
If you were the first person ever to design an application for the iPhone and you patented it, you would be very, very better off than we are right now, you know? But you've got to be the first one to do it. So I figured that Led Zeppelin or the Stones were going to do it unless we just got on to it. So I got cracking with the guys from Apple.
used composer stills
Im still getting used to being called a composer. A poseur, maybe.
two woody huskies
I have two mini huskies called Woody Guthrie and Edison Guthrie.
band littles prototype
Thenewno2 is sort of my little prototype band, really.
love teenager prodigies
I only discovered electronic music as a teenager and I still love the Prodigy and Massive Attack.
Everyone's seen the Beatles.
fans huge
I'm a huge Wu-Tang fan.
names use term
I don't ever use my name for anything in terms of getting the music heard.
want sometimes made
I sometimes listen to music I made and find it to be something I wouldn't want to buy from a store, if there was a store. When it's like that, you have to make what you want to hear.
dad play age
I did Albert Hall, I got to play the Hall of Fame with Prince. So I've done that kind of stuff for ages. It wasn't until after we finished working on Brainwash, my dad's album after he died, then it was like 'That phase is over in my life now, now we can get on with our music, with our band.
father healing emotional
I was very empty after my father passed away. It was an emotional time, as it would be for anyone, but to be in the studio every day was kind of cathartic and healing and it just seemed very natural to continue.
community trying different
I love getting into a studio with a bunch of friends. When the day's done, we've made something. We recognize that we're from different walks of the music industry, and there's no reason we shouldn't be collaborating. That's what I'm trying to create with thenewno2 - a sense of community.
growing-up kind natural
It's funny, because music is one of those things it is natural to go into. You hear it so much growing up, it kind of permeates you and eventually you spew out some music of your own.
media order records
I suddenly realized that in order to do what I wanted to do, I had to become that which I hated - which is the head of a record company or a digital media conglomerate - and just do whatever you want.
