finding records taken time
I'm a late bloomer. It's taken me a long time to find my voice, and I think all the records I've made over the years, I was finding my voice, and that's part of the process.
hear music musicians recording tendency
I think a lot of musicians play for the playback. I mean, that's the joy of recording - you want to hear what you've done and what you've contributed - but never listening to that playback kind of removes the intellectual part of making music, and it removes the tendency to be revisionist.
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.
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.
los pants record themes wore
In the past, like for the last Rilo Kiley record, 'Under the Blacklight,' I wore exclusively hot pants because the themes in that record were the underbelly of Los Angeles.
love record
I love 'Wowee Zowee.' That was the first Pavement record I bought.
character helps record
It really helps me to get into the character of the record when I have a designated look. It just really simplifies things for me.
computers digital pro records tools
I am a child of digital generation. I have done most of the records with Rilo Kiley on computers, on Pro Tools or other digital programs.
anyone capture piece sit trying
When I sit down to write a song, there is no filter. I'm not trying to write for anyone or anything specifically. It's just trying to capture a little piece of your soul - even if it's a really ugly part.
genocide idly motivates stood war washington
What motivates me to go to Washington is that, during World War II, so much of the world stood idly by as the genocide happened.
almost blanket board coming ears laid mixing
When something is coming off of a Neve board and being laid down on tape, it's like a warm blanket for the brain. When you're working in a digital form, it's so harsh; it's almost painful. Your ears get more fatigued if you're mixing all day.
love supposed
I don't feel unlucky in love anymore, and it's not all emo. It's a scary place to be in when you're like: 'What am I supposed to write about now? I don't feel heartbroken, so now what?'
change genocide happen rally stop trying washington
I don't know that this one rally in Washington is going to change everything, but I don't want this genocide to happen without trying to do something to stop it.
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.'
