It's the rule of the two F's: I've got to be a fan and I've got to be a friend. We only work with people we have a cool personal relationship with.
The coolest thing about the music industry is that it's super collaborative and based on relationships and mutual respect.
I guess that's a big problem with working with computers - you've got the luxury to keep tweaking the songs until the last second and beyond. So I don't think I'll ever have that feeling, unless I'm the one finishing the track.
I'll marry Bob Dylan, I'll f - k Dillon Francis, and I'll kill Matt Dillon , because I don't know him.
It dawned on me at some point that our music makes certain people happy - I never thought we'd have that effect and it's really gratifying and humbling. My least favorite is the exhaustion that comes with traveling a lot, the touring related exhaustion. And the crazy thing is that we've all been doing this for years and your body never gets used to it - you always feel messed up. But it's a good problem to have.
My bandmate once pissed his pants when we were playing in Brazil - but we weren't embarrassed, we were proud.
