What are you listening to right now?
I'm listening to the new Sigur Ros; I'm listening to Muse on a regular basis -- they're a band that I think definitely captures that big epic rock sound as well. The new Radiohead -- I love it. They can do no wrong. Ever.

Was In Rainbows your favorite album from last year?
Yeah, I'd say so. And the way they approached it was pretty revolutionary. Granted, most bands can't do what they did just say, "Hey! Our record's for free. Donate whatever you feel like you want to." They were in a position to do that. But I think it's a good indicator kind of where the industry is headed as a whole. Kids are gonna get music whether they pay for it or not. Record labels and executives need to understand that and embrace it and figure out new ways of getting music to people.
