I'm a huge fan of the Bay Area so I always love coming to San Francisco.
In Europe, I always have fun bike riding in Amsterdam.
No part of Manhattan these days really has the same vibe I get from a Ramones song or a Velvet Underground song.
My dad has a really great record collection that basically went up to the year I was born: 1984.
I'm down with Spotify. I don't know all the financial details but generally it's a great resource.
It's cool to have instruments lying around because they give you different ideas.
One of the things I've always loved about anime is that, even though it comes from Japan, it's so international - so much of the big anime I love takes place in Italy or France or New York.
I like how Ralph Lauren creates a mystical world through his clothing.
If kids and teenagers can get into a band, its probably not because they think its brainy.
Rapping and singing are not two polar opposites. There's so much middle ground. And I think there's a lot of people who find that middle ground.
I do think sometimes there's danger in guest appearance mania. I've seen too many examples that sound cool on paper, like 'Oh, get that guy to sing the hook on that guy's song,' and then that's all it is. It's a cool idea that sounds good on paper.
For you to be able to take a picture of yourself that you feel good enough about to share with the world - I think that's a great thing.
Well, growing up in the '90s, my first true love was ska music.
There aren't that many people walking about who are a total class stereotype.
Anyways, trying to express yourself to the press is often like arguing with a hysterical person.
I'm pretty sure that the Walkmen are the band that I've paid to see the most in my life.
It's pretty cool that people will pay for something even though they don't have to. It's totally different now to back in the day. Now you're paying for a record because you believe in the band. In the future that will be the only time people will pay for albums, because there's some kind of connection.
