A lot of bands wanna do something new all the time and never repeat themselves, but I'm not so interested in that. If I feel like I can do it better the second time, I'll give it another shot.

I am asexual. A-sexual. I read somewhere, maybe on Facebook, where somebody said something like, I heard Bradford was gay, but then I heard he was bi. Then somebody wrote, No, I heard he was asexual. And then somebody said, That's bullshit - he totally hit on my friend after a show.

I want to satisfy the listener, exactly. I want to entertain the audience. I want the people to leave the show with the feeling I used to leave shows with when I was young, and I couldn't get over it for another three or four days after it. I just kept reliving the set in my mind.

Everybody just needs to realize that when you write something you're just in one mood. I was told I needed to write it and it was overdue I don't even remember what day it was.
