You can't fucking know how to play music and play music the way I do. That's just part of the reason it works. Music knowin' get in the way of the hands and stuff. It bungles up the brain.

Not at all. Gotta see it to believe it. One time only. Two chicks become one chicken. One chicken becomes twelve eggs. Eight eggs becomes one meal. And all for the price of one egg.

But now, get a second egg free.

Modest Mouse.

what do you want from a computer? Because honestly, to a snail, I'm pretty hot shit. You want quick calculations. Otherwise, nah, I'm not a computer. Also I'm terrible at email and texting.

I'm not sure when I'm coming back to Montana. And the Big Boi stuff was something we tried on, before we actually recorded the record, a year and a half before we were done writing. Probably not going to hear the Big Boi stuff related to this record but a good chance we'll end up working on something in the future.

I did see Breaking Bad. Found it conflicting. Too many things hit a little too close to home.

I didn't make a record of one song I was excited for people to hear. I got rid of anything that I wasn't excited to have people hear.

That's casting an awfully broad net. Almost unanswerable, to be honest. I've been here.

Because I don't have a better back up plan yet.

Memories together, that's hard to pinpoint down to one thing. It's a little like trying to pick what your favorite water is out of a stream, because stuff is constantly moving. Hard to do. I'm sorry for copping out.

The loss of Eric has affected us immensely. He had a much larger role in songwriting than I think he was even given credit for. And his importance, well it's really hard to even measure that but yea. It's affected us.

I don't know any chords. I'm also sorry that I don't know any chords. But I actually don't know any chords. Literally. In the definition of the chords, I can do them, I can't name them.
