I Had A Somewhat Frenetic

I Really Love Something About Being Around The Recording Studios - You Know, Like, Those Days In The '80s They'd Be, Like, In The Studio 'til 4, 5, 6 In The Morning Working On These Songs.

My Grandmother Always Used To Wear This English Perfume Called Tuberose And Then She Died And Then I Dated This Girl Who Wore The Same Thing. Every Time I Hung Out With Her, I Could Only Think Of My Recently Deceased Grandmother. So Sometimes A Signature Scent Can Be Good And Sometimes It Can Be Bad.

You Know, Like, There's Songs Like "valerie" And "bang Bang Bang" That I Was So Proud Of. And, You Know, The Level Of Success That They Had - If They Were Little Cult Hits Meant That, You Know, I Could Sellout Webster Hall Or Williamsburg Musical Hall Or The El Rey Theater In La. Like, That Was Having Made It To Me. So The Thought Of Having A Number One Song In My Own Career, Like, Never Even Registered.

I Think, You Know, For Me, Whatever I Need To Slot Into To Make That Music The Best It Can Be Or Help The Artists, Or Whoever I'm Working With, Achieve Whatever Vision They Have In Their Head For A Song.

I Guess The Best Thing About Having A Successful Record Like This Is, Like, I Know I'm At Least Good For Another Five Years, Like, Before Everyone Starts To Like - All The Haters Start To Come Out Again. And That's Really What It Is.
