You might as well play at the show everyone else is playing at.

'No Bones' has some reverb that I kick around.

I play a Fender Jazzmaster and three stacks and a combo, two old Marshall Plexis and a Hiwatt combo and a Hiwatt combo with Marshall cabs.

When I play a solo I'm just expressing that moment. It can go horribly wrong easily enough.

I was just reading about Paul Simon in 'Uncut', and it was fascinating. I never think about him much or think about his music or anything, but it's interesting to hear his ideas on stuff.

Usually I like to have them, but going drum-less pushes everything in a new direction and makes it easier to keep things sounding different.

People have to do what they want to do.

It's harder to play drums than guitar, physically. I'm always kind of on the edge. I guess that's how I play everything: on the edge of my ability.

Yeah, you know, I'm always into cassette. At least they seem to be the longest-lasting medium we used to have. I don't play cassettes much anymore, but I play records all the time.

It's good to have certain restrictions sometimes, but it's definitely more fun to play really loud, with distortion.
