When People Say You're Doing Something Radical

I Sometimes Feel A Bit Embarrassed To Play Guitar. There's Something - I Don't Want To Sound Ungrateful - But There's Something Very Old-fashioned And Traditional About It. You Meet Kids Today Whose Grandparents Were In Punk Bands, Really. It's Very Old And Traditional, But Then, You Know, So Is An Orchestra And So Is The String Section.

Jamaican Reggae Is The Style Of Music I Always Reach For When Ranting To Friends About How You Could Listen To One Style Of Music Exclusively For The Rest Of Your Life - And It Would All Be Great And Varied And Worth Hearing.

Everything I Know About Pop Culture I Know From 'the Simpsons,' And They Say The Grammys Aren't Very Good.

I Worry About Being A Fogy And Just Writing For Orchestras. Like, Really, I Should Be Doing More Electronic Stuff, I Feel. Laptops As Part Of The Orchestra, And Installation Sound, And Speakers.

I Think Guitarists Are Really Over-admired And Over-revered.
