I Don't Write Poems And Put Them

I Like Their Darkness But I Also Like The Pop-side Of The Velvet Underground.

When I Write A Song, I Always Start On Acoustic Guitar, Because That's A Good Test Of A Song, When It's Really Open And Bare. You Can Often Mislead Yourself If You Start With Computers And Samples And Programming Because You Can Disguise A Bad Song.

I'm Not Advocating Violence But I Think Somebody Should Shoot Simon Cowell.
