I’ve always wanted to make music like people write plays, so I was inspired by writers as much as musicians.
I’ve always been pretty ravenous about pop culture, highbrow and lowbrow.
I’m unqualified to do anything other than music.
I was always just kind of obsessed with guitar, even before I started playing.
I think in some ways, it can do a listener a disservice to explain a song. I think I’d rather leave a little room for people to put themselves in it.
One of my favourite things about country music is that, at least until recently, you could always count on a solid story, a punchline and a pun. I think it has that in common with hip hop, where they’re not afraid of wordplay and I really appreciate that.
The Lilith Fair thing was Bummer Town – hey, hop aboard the marginalizing train. I guess you had people come out of that and have careers, but I think there was a pretty intense backlash, too.
The keys are in my pocket and they rattle you awake.
Your skin’s so fair its not fair.
In a really great way, you simultaneously try to take up as little and as much space as possible.
Honey the party went away quickly, but thats the trouble with ticking and talking.
I wish I had a gentle mind and a spine made up of iron.
Well, I’ve been recording myself on a computer since I was about 13 or 14. So it’s completely entwined with my creative process. Essentially, it allows you to make music that’s better and smarter than you are, by using your ears to lead the way.
I only listen to my own music when I’m playing an hour-and-half set each night. I don’t put it on recreationally.
I just love playing guitar, so that’s what I’m going to do.
I have a great band. Oh, man. I’m so happy about them.
The affairs of God are accomplished little by little and almost imperceptibly. The Spirit of God is neither violent nor hasty. He does all things in His time.
No matter what others say or do, even if the wicked succeed, do not be troubled: commit everything to God and put your trust in him.
Outpouring of affection for God, of resting in his presence, of good feelings towards everyone and sentiments and prayers like theseare suspect if they do not express themselves in practical love which has real effects.
Whirlyball is only the most awesome sport on the planet! It’s like bumper cars plus lacrosse meets basketball.
