I listened to a few others that Dave Fridmann & his boys were working on. Flaming Lips ‘Do you Realize’ & Elton John’s ‘Rocketman’ & it was amazing! They had the original tracks/stems though, so it was done properly from top to bottom. Felt like sitting inside of the song. Really great
I don’t really know. We mixed it in an Atmos room while making it. It was this chair at a console w like a dozen different speakers surrounding & pointing at the listener. I’m not sure what the average Atmos setup is like, but it was a cool experience to listen in that setup/environment.
Has anybody listened to the Dolby Atmos version of ‘Gloom Division’? I know we made an Atmos version, but I don’t know if it was ever even released, or listened to by anyone with an Atmos setup.

Easy by Toth
Yes. It’s difficult when it happens because I love what I do, but burnout & mental health are real things
Blur
Radiohead
Supergrass
Pulp
Oasis
Super Furry Animals
Suede
Like when the roof of the venue was disintegrating on top of us? That was exciting
There’s always a chance. I always love meeting folks who are fans, but I’m also old and an introvert, so sometimes I physically & psychologically can’t do it. I always feel bad when I can’t
Piano
I can’t ever seem to force it. When a song hits a wall, it stays there until the wall collapses on its own. Makes the process longer, but that’s art. For me anyway. I feel like It’s gotta come from somewhere else.
They asked me to once! But there were so many swears & I was trying to be a good dad example for my kids.
(It didn’t work, though. They still totally swear)
Patience
I think the plan is to do one more and then release it as like a proper EP.
It is, but I definitely didn’t know it at the time
Marty Supreme SAG screening last week w T. Chalamet (Breezy invited me). He posted a story w a Panic song the day after. Weird!
Beetlebum
Or On Your Own
Been reading in my spare time, which I haven’t done for a long while. Too long. It’s nice
None in the vault, but Ive got a handful of songs I’d love to swing at.
Maybe! I love those boots, but anything you wear on tour will 100% be destroyed, so you’ve got to be strategic about what you want to say goodbye to
Had a great time in LA last week!
I dunno.
I’m very lucky career-wise & life-wise. & in more ways than I could count too.
It’s easy to tally up the bad stuff, but I feel like the scales always get evened out.
Had a main stage set at Reading & Leeds yrs ago.
A crew member volunteered to change my bass strings before we went on.
He wound them backwards.
I didn’t notice until we were walking onto the stage.
Played the whole set like that.
Same guy was later fired for assaulting our TM.
lol
I’ve noticed that when you say exactly what you mean, neurotypicals often think that you’re “up to something”.
Listen, If I ever have a secret plan, you’ll know about it because there will be a series of charts & graphs & a book of complicated & very specific instructions.
Step 1: Fuck outta here
Young women, queer communities, & people of color generate & popularize the culture that later becomes mainstream. Mocking fangirls is just misogyny dressed up as culture policing. Show me one artist who doesn’t want/rely on those demographics & I’ll show you a goddamn liar.
The music industry can be a hard place to navigate if you’re using a moral compass.
It can be done, though. Be honest. Don’t step on anybody to get what you want. Don’t steal. Even if things don’t turn out the way you dreamed, at least you’ll be able to sleep at night.
I won’t really know until I record it
I’m too tired to do an apocalypse
Yeah it’s hard. I never wanted to be a solo artist. Luckily I still have lots of help from people I trust & care about.
