chain dad dragging dude remember swinging took
My dad took me and my brother to see Corrosion of Conformity. All I remember was that there was a dude swinging a chain in the mosh pit, and the bouncers were dragging him out.
broke far listening mind music opened rock
I think the first person who kind of broke my mind was probably Jimi Hendrix. Listening to him opened my mind up to where you can take music and how far you can take rock n' roll.
diverse ended good music rock
I ended up doing these other diverse things, but King Tuff is the thing I always wanted to come back to - just good, straightforward rock n' roll. That music is the most me, you know?
beauty came few flipped people totally wall
I always tell people there's some kind of wall that you have to break through to see the beauty of L.A. The first few times I came here, I was like, 'I don't know about this place.' Then one day, it just totally flipped for me. It was crazy.
biggest both burger difference labels people pop seems stuff super
Both labels are super awesome, with super awesome people who want to get stuff done. The biggest difference is that Sub Pop is already established, but working with Burger seems like we're part of something. They're growing, and I'm growing with them. They're my friends, and we're doing it together.
dive good gotta hope wanna
You've gotta dive into the abyss if you wanna get anything good. Every record, you've gotta go down in the abyss and hope that you come out of it alive.
learned steal took trying
I never took any guitar lessons or anything; I never really learned to play covers. I'm actually happy that I never took lessons as a kid. Now, I'd like to take lessons to kind of go deeper. But I think sometimes lessons can steal a person's personality away, because they're trying to do things so technically.
bob
Bob Saget is the bear from the Golden Crisp box.
lyrics trying
I find it harder to write the lyrics afterwards because then you're just trying to fit them into something that's already there.
roger
I listen to top 40, old country, blues... I'm really into Roger Miller.
love
I love collaborating with people, but I also really love working by myself.
candles love sit
I love Hanukkah because it's so weird. You just sit there and light candles and say spells.
kurt looked saw
I saw Frances Bean at a Blink 182 show. And she was with a guy who looked just like Kurt Cobain.
albums bobby involved love trust
It involved a lot of trust, but I love Bobby Harlow, and I loved the albums that he made.
