I Just Rediscovered My Guitar.

Anything Was Better Than Going To Work. All Those Early Tours Before We Made Any Money Were More Like Vacations. I Don't Think It Was Until 2001 That We Pulled Our Heads Out Of The Sand And Were Like, "what Are We Doing?" I Don't Think Chris Realized He Was In A Band Until 2001. He All Of A Sudden Woke Up One Day And Realized He Was In A Band. He Thought He Was Just Recording My Solo Project. Three Albums Later, We're In Baltimore Trying To Figure Out What To Do With Ourselves.

We Never Sit Down Before We Start Making A Record And Talk About This New Sonic Palette That We Are Going To Try To Explore. We Always Let The Record Kind Of Reveal Itself To Us Over Time.

And It Came To Me Then That Every Plan Is A Tiny Prayer To Father Time.

Liking Interesting Things Doesn't Make You Interesting.

Every Record We Do There Are Always Two Camps. There's The Camp That's Like, "i Love It. It Sounds Different Than The Last One." There Are The People That Are Like, "i Want It To Sound Like The Last One." You Can't Please Everybody All The Time, But I Think For The Most Part We Tend To Maintain A Healthy Level Of Self-reference To Kind Of Make Sure We Continue To Push Things Forward.
