Then when we did the untitled record, we just didn't feel like putting joke stuff on it, so we didn't. It wasn't really a deliberation or a real introspective thing like, Are we going to joke on this one, are we not going to joke on this one? We just didn't feel like it on the untitled one, so we didn't.

During the downtime on tour, I simply walk from room to room, staring into my computer.

California to me as a concept or as an idea always seems like endless optimism and endless opportunity - when people think of California they think of palm trees and blue skies and gorgeous sunsets and beaches and everything else.

I don't really have any secret shames. If I like an artist, I like them. Nothing to feel embarrassed about.

My parents were pretty lenient with me. But, they gave me morality while I was growing up. They taught me the difference between right and wrong.

The collectability of music is something lost in the age of MP3s and album downloads. Holding an album in your hands and having the full-sized artwork reconnects the artist and the listener.
