The Modern Video Games Kind Of -

I Am Nice To Everybody. But People Really Take Advantage Of It.

Hip Hop Is The New Rock N' Roll, You Know What I Mean? And Anybody Who Doesn't Think That Is Just Sort Of Living In The Past. It's All Just American Music, Really, When You Get Right Down To It.

A Lot Of Musicians Are Super - Insecure And They Take Forever And They Obsess Over The Minutia And It's Really Stifling. It's Not That The Band The Black Keys Is That Confident, It's That We're Not Striving For Perfection. We Are Just Trying To Have Fun. None Of The Music That We Like Is Perfect. It's Good. And Real. We Just Want To Make Real Records, Flaws And All.

The Modern Video Games Kind Of - They're Too Three Dimensional.

I Feel Like I Live In My Own Little World, To Be Honest. I Mean, I Love My Record, But I Don't Feel Tied To It. I Sort Of Created My Own Little Universe In The Studio, And That's Why All Of Those Musicians Who Made A Living In The Nashville Music Scene Loved Coming Over To My Place So Much.
