There's a certain type of indie fan who would balk at the prospect of there being value in pop music, but I think that's foolish. They're not really listening.

I like pop music. Earnestly. Most of the greatest technicians, mix engineers, and players are working in pop music.

I'm trying to use people like Meredith Monk and Philip Glass and Terry Riley as the backing tracks for new pop songs. It's really hard trying to use the format and write a pop song on top of avant-garde music, so we'll see. It could be cool, or it could totally flop.

I have such an eclectic taste. I like listening to classical music and pop music.

My mom is the type of mom who wonders why I haven't used my psychology degree to become a successful clinical psychologist.

I consider the Stooges to be pop music.
