almost available bands became couple format grabbing matter putting recorded revisit room sort sound tapes weird
We remixed them in 5.1, which doesn't sound like much, but let me tell you it's really a crazy, complicated thing to take these things that you did almost 15 years ago and revisit 'em in this format that only became available a couple years ago. A lot of bands can't do that because they don't have their own recordings. But we've always recorded ourselves, so it's a matter of me just going to the back room and grabbing the tapes and sort of putting them back on the reel. It's a weird treat.
albums art aware blend good
We're aware that we have to be marketable, because at the end of the day, it's about making money, ... So we try to make our albums a good blend of art and commercialism.
assumed band money people promoting single trying
It isn't all about some band promoting a single or a promoter trying to make money or something. (When they started), I think people just assumed it would be this disorganized thing.... The more these things work, the more they're successful, the better off these things will be.

As you get older, you accept that there are some tunnels that don't have any light in them, but you go down them anyway.
sometimes embrace knows
Sometimes you just have to say, “...I don't know what we are doing, let's just go and see what happens.” You have to embrace the experience itself, so that things you didn't intend to happen can make your work more authentic. And you have to hope that it works
phones three four
A lot of times I'll doodle on something while I'm doing interviews, because sometimes I'm on the phone for three or four hours and I want to get something going. I'll just start from a scribble, or something that someone else already put on the page.
mistake thinking making-mistakes
We love it when we make mistakes that are better than something you could think up.
kings suits-you santa
If SANTA CLAUS came down the chimney in a f**king jogging suit, you wouldn't even know it was him.
work-out people trying
To try to please people is an endless chasing of one's own tail. That's not very satisfying, so we do what we like and that satisfies us. When it does work out, its a bonus, really.
moving-on years done
I can see that if this was an album done 10 or 15 years ago we could see we were moving on to some place else.
caring thinking people
I stopped caring so much about what people might think if I sung about love and humanity.
fun halloween australia
I knew she was from Australia and I knew that is where she started but I didn't know if she was still popular there. I hope people understand we aren't making fun of Kylie.

When I do yoga, it gets all sweaty, and the best thing for dried up hair isn't shampoo, it's sweat.
