If you had a musical motto, what would it be? I have a motto and it's, "Going out of business since 1998!"
If you could've written any famous song, what would it be and why? "Imagine" by John Lennon. It's a perfect a song. It's simple, beautiful and timeless. Its lyrics are effortless, yet so powerful and meaningful. It is a work of art, yet still has mass appeal. I like it when outstanding songs are recognized by the world, especially when the songs are genuine, and have a political message. It's a perfect song that no one could ignore. It embodies all the qualities in a song that I cherish.
If you could seek musical advice from one music icon, who would it be and what would you ask? James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem. I'd ask, "Knowing what you know now, what would you have done differently when it came to your music career?"
If you could recommend one of your CDs, which one would it be and why? Playing With Scratches … because it's my only one!
If you were forced to choose, which two famous acts would you say your sound most resembles? I mostly sound like un-famous acts, but if I had to choose two famous acts … I would say Deee-Lite and Beck.

Can you imagine your grandma and grandpa rockin' out to Sonic Youth or The Clash? [documentary / drama]

Wanna see something that's, well, sort of funny and ridiculous at the same time? "Young @ Heart" may be just what you need. Picture your grandma and grandpa rockin' out to some of your pop and rock favorites.
