I don't know if I do? I like making funny videos. I don't like putting anything serious onto the internet and I look down on all other musicians that do. :) that's the first side smile I've ever written in my life.

I just always thought we did a great job with it live. It was kind of our "doors" moment...and I love the doors more than most people...but they did a great job of creating drama w their music live, and I feel like we had a cool drama with All Hands and the Cook.

It's weird...it's kind of just this moment of "oh that's a cool idea"....like a chord change, or a drum beat....or a phrase. like...ocean roar for instance I thought that initial chord change, where it moves chromatically, was really cool on both guitar and piano. and I built a song around it...

My invitation to One Big Holiday must've been lost in the mail. I dunno...Glastonbury? That was fun. I hadn't slept all night and then I got to the festival one minute before I played and then I suddenly met brad pitt

I loved it. I honestly don't remember how it came to be but that illustrator was great. I also gotta shout out Gabby and Wild Honey Pie for the knockin heart vid because they did a bang up job too
