“So for my studio purposes, I know that I’m in my studio with technicians who’ve done amazing things to my board and to my power amps and I know what I can deliver out of my studio.”

I’ve been trying to make records and I describe it almost like a “movie for your ears” where it’s a little unconventional in its shape and form, but there’s something that’s intriguing in keeping you wanting to wait and see the next frame of film, except in here what’s coming around the corner for your ears.

We came off the road of the last tour very inspired to just keep playing, so we went to Canada.

Along with you, I have witnessed the unfortunate rise in gasoline prices that has accompanied the summer driving season and the more recent spike in prices due to Hurricane Katrina.

When I record in a studio I don’t use an amp. I go directly into the board, so I can get that very fat, full sound – which is my favorite sound.

Surfboards were everywhere. When I got my first new board, I was probably in kindergarten.

Let’s jump on board, and cut them to pieces.

I want Pinterest to be human. The Internet’s still so abstract… To me, boards are a very human way of looking at the world.

If you can’t jump on board when the ride’s going past that’s it, it usually goes by, so the hugest compliment they paid me was to come back to me. It motivated me to try to fulfill their faith.

Fairness is an across-the-board requirement for all our interactions with each other …Fairness treats everbody the same.

I find that your basic Internet chat board is way too vitriolic for my taste.
