And it was like Lips Like Sugar came out, and then they were interested.

It was too bad, but they sounded great.

And Ian McCullough sounded great.

But then I got into everything.

So like your album with Johnny Cash came to our magazine when we were all young magazine writers.

And that was like a reawakening to country music for me and an entry point.

But, you know, I try to follow as much as I can.

I wrote about music for Spin.

I had a column for a while.

It was called, and now for a less informed opinion, because I didn't pretend to know anything outside of what I liked.

So I get to write about Kings of Leon before they came out and Joanna Newsom.

And I felt like I was, that's a great place where you get to hear a record three months before it comes out and maybe tell a few people about it.

But I did that only for like a year.

I couldn't meet the deadlines.

So now I get to just be just a fan.

Like I don't want to have to work at all for sure when I listen to music.

Do you listen to more old music or new music?

Well, I still have every record and CD I ever had.

And I write on a boat.

So I have a little boat under the Golden Gate Bridge.
