It Takes A Lot To Still Believe

I Think Any Branding For Me Is Band-related. It's Really Weird To Get Used To The Exposure, Because I Am A Naturally Introverted Person, And I'm Not Exactly Social. Occasionally I Can Get Comfortable Enough To Talk, But I Spend A Lot Of My Days Not Talking, Especially When I'm At Home And Not On Tour.

My Girlfriend Is A Fashion Designer. She Has Her Own Company Called Rachel Antonoff. She Is Doing A Collaboration With Urban Outfitters Right Now, A Shoe Collaboration With Bass. She Sells To Barneys, Stuff Like That.

Indie Record Stores Are As Important To A Touring Musician As An Incredible Thrift Store. I Can't Overstate How Good It Feels To Place An Original Pressing Of 'veedon Fleece' In Your Most Underused Of Shirts And Pack It Into Your Suitcase, Anxiously Awaiting The Day You Get Home So That You Can Play It As Though It Was Your Reward Or Trophy From The Long Journey You Had Just Finished Embarking On.

That Just Felt Like The Most Natural Name Out Of All Of The Names. Everything Else Just Felt So Contrived. Even Now, When I Try And Think Of Band Names Just Randomly, I'm So Thankful That "fun." Is The Name Of The Band. I Never Really Think Twice About It. It Is So Simple And So Easy.

It Takes A Lot To Still Believe In People.
