My idea is to play with the people who you know want to get it right. Then it's fun and easy to record, and you can get down to details, like taking out cymbals so the verse doesn't dwarf the chorus, something like that.
From Ben Folds
Why would I want to sound like Joni Mitchell? I've got Joni Mitchell records, and they're great, and I couldn't possibly be that good.
You never know when you put out an album that's unique whether it'll get beat up for it or not.
Next door, there's an old man who lived to his nineties and one day passed away in his sleep. And his wife, she stayed for a couple of days and passed away. I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong.
I'm not really a strange person or anything, so if there's music I like, usually there's other people who like it too.
Billy Joel and Joe Jackson were both great, and they both play piano.
