exactly looks met tony
I've met Tony Danza. He was really nice. And he looks... I feel like he hasn't aged. He looks exactly the same. He's just Tony Danza. He's exactly the same as he's always been.
blizzard cds fan hear listen music notes time trying weird
I've always been a fan of instructional videos. The bass-player ones are insane. The music on them is fascinating. It's not something you hear on CDs or would really ever play in bands. You listen to it and are like, 'What is happening?' It's this blizzard of notes in weird time signatures, and they're trying to teach you that.
bands couple invite invited la les played tango
There are bands that I am friends with, who will invite me up on stage. Like Les Savy Fav, who have had me on stage, and I have played on their record. There are a couple of bands like that. Yo La Tango has invited me to play with them.
Even when I go do comedy stuff live, I can still feel the drummer in me about to go onstage.
I think it comes off better on stage.
mean people dying
I loved our [music] discussion. I live for discussions like that. It's my favorite thing because it means that people care about music, and actually have an opinion. I feel like it's dying. Everyone is just really like, they take a step back, but to actually have conviction about what's good and bad: love it.

That smile on Stive Jobs face ... My impersonation came from being a fan.

I spent a lot of time lifting my drums into a van, playing to ten people night after night. I can't complain about anything now.
divorce two lucky
Everyone goes through all kinds of relationship situations. I'm lucky that I get to be on two comedy shows [during divorce].

People are always nice, so I can't complain. My name used to be SNL! More and more, people call me by my name.

I lived in Chicago, but the music I was inspired by was from D. C.
comedy
I started comedy in like 1998.
thinking
The more I keep myself occupied and jump from thing to thing, the more I think it enriches both.
