      He seems to be an anxious person who somebody else would probably have to pursue it themselves if they want to build rapport, otherwise he'd just kind of let them float on by because he's also tranquil in his internal world

    We write songs with our headbands. They don't come out of our head but out of our headbands. Nobody has ever done that before so we're kind a special that way.

    Sleep deprivation usually does bring some sorta "trippyness" into life. When you haven't slept for ages, your eyes tire out. You might see little balls of light all around, but usually it's sensitivity to light when tired. Shadows might seem like they move and sounds become really weird and muffled and stuff. Time speeds up and you might feel like a month passes in a couple of hours. Then as your brain tires more, you might get closer to your subconcious. These are my experiences, it differs.

    music is what they've always just done for fun. and not that i agree that their lyrics aren't meaningful, because they are...just not in a generic way and in more of a broad sense, but if they're just doing it for the pure joy and experimentation then lyrics aren't really the main focus...it's the combination of the lyrics, sounds, genre, influences, and personality. that's what makes this band brilliant.

    just because they ask weird questions or make moments awkward doesn't always necessarily mean that they're a bad interviewer. Sometimes they're simply unprepared. I bet this girl was improvising most of, if not that entire thing. Cut her some slack guys...
