“I don't wanna keep playing the same song over and over again. It's just thinking about "what's going to be the coolest thing to play on this particular show?" The easiest thing to do is to play the single over and over again.” ThinkingPlayShowsSongParticularThings To Do Author:John Britt Daniel
“I just think that's more exciting. When people used to cut records live, there were mistakes all the time that stayed in. It was part of the charm. You're kind of missing something if everything is all doctored-up and clinical. So when we hear a mistake that sounds interesting, we make a point to keep it.” PeopleThinkingKindInterestingMistakeCuttingMissingExciting Author:John Britt Daniel
“I'm not the underdog, but - Well actually, I guess I've been the underdog. To me, it always felt like I was talking to "the big guy," you know, the big guy in the government, and trying to tell him about some things he didn't seem to be aware of. I just think that's a pretty arrogant group of liars we've got up there, and they don't really consider the abilities of their opponents.” ThinkingTryingGuyAbilityLiarsArrogantUnderdog Author:John Britt Daniel
“I don't even think about having a "rock-star profile." But sure, I always think, "Wouldn't it be great to have your friends along for the ride?" I just feel like me, you know? I've always been me, and I feel like the same guy. It surprises me when people expect me to be anything other than just a dude. I'm just a dude.” PeopleThinkingGuySurpriseProfileSurprise MeAlong For The Ride Author:John Britt Daniel
“Mostly, isolation allows me to go through a period where I really concentrate and get in a flow. Sometimes the whole process can be daunting, and when you're away from it, thinking about going back to it is especially daunting.

I can get a month's worth of work done.” ThinkingSometimesDoneSongWeekIsolationGoing Away Author:John Britt Daniel
“I think there are lots of people that believe in rock 'n' roll. It's real easy. You just find some friends to play with and then you can feel it. I think that happens all the time. To be in a band and be playing in a room really loud, even if you never play a show, that feeling is really addictive and pure.” PeopleThinkingBelieveRealFeelingsEasy Author:John Britt Daniel
