door possibly shut
I would never say anything's over forever. How could you possibly know how you feel? How could you shut the door on anything?
appealed classic constantly female great hear laura learned outside playing song stood structures vinyl voice
My mother had a great vinyl collection, and she was constantly playing female singer-songwriters. I first learned about classic song structures by listening to them, and Laura Nyro particularly stood out. Her voice was outside what you'd usually hear on the radio; that really appealed to me.
became formative hip listened outside records roll songs
My mother's records were formative for me, but when I became a teenager, I wanted to find songs that she wasn't hip to. She was so hip, though, that I had to go outside rock n' roll - so for about 10 years, I only listened to hip-hop, house and techno.
country music people
I think regardless of where people are from, country music is a through line.
assume chris either famous feeling felt martin met older talking younger
I think Chris Martin is younger than I am, but when I met him, I felt like I was talking to my father. It's so strange, that feeling when someone is that famous - you assume that they are either older or better.
bad beats glass hop morning room three trip
You can find me at three in the morning in my living room with a glass of wine and really bad '90s trip hop beats blaring from my headphones.
people
When I think people like one record more than the other, then someone will surprise me.
music
I write music, really, to make myself feel better.
adult barrier crappy grown jimmy pierre pillow postal share sleeping whether
When I first started touring, we had a crappy van, and we would all share rooms. So for many years as a grown adult woman, I would share a bed with a bandmate, whether it would be Jimmy Tamborello from the Postal Service or Pierre De Reeder from Rilo Kiley, just a pillow barrier between us sleeping on the same bed.
fluid imagine music people record
I can't imagine how people will react to my music. For me, it's a really fluid process from one record to the next, but it's really up to the listener.
act linda love quite
I come from a duo, actually, quite literally. My parents are Linda and Eddie, and they had an act in Vegas called 'Love's Way.'
huge listened
I am a huge hip-hop fan, and growing up, I only listened to hip-hop, so I dressed accordingly.
buying closet constant cycle donate feels selling twice
I am in a constant cycle of selling my clothes at Wasteland and buying from Goodwill. Once or twice a year, I go through my closet and donate everything to Goodwill. It feels like I am recycling my fashion.
faux people travel
I wouldn't call it a faux pas, but I have about 12 tracksuits. I always travel in a tracksuit. I feel it makes people happy when they see me.
