And I kept listening to Radiohead, and I was like, Man, I want to make hip-hop that feels like Radiohead. I want to make hip-hop that can use guitars and soul and jazz and just fuse it all together.” MenWantFeelsMeanSoulUseTogetherHeardListeningJazzGuitarHip HopHipsHopsNew MusicHendrixFuseRadiohead Author:Will Ferrell

“It was part of a financial situation. I could only afford records in thrift stores. Then you could find wonderful things, but now everything is a collectible. I like the recycling idea --using the stuff that people don't want anymore, and make new music out of it. There was an element of looking back and listening to your parents' records and doing something with that stuff. Sort of acknowledging the past while rejecting it at the same time.” PeopleWantIdeasPastStuffParentSituationRecordsWonderfulListeningElementsFinancialStoresLooking BackWonderful ThingsRejectingRecyclingThriftNew MusicCollectibles Author:Christian Marclay

I can't control that.” WantFeelsShouldI CanEndsSometimesHateFunSoundListeningPleaseThe End Of The DayNew Music Author:Jim James
