Hospitality - "Friends of Friends". I'm one of those guys who shoves his friends. It's how I say Hi. It's how I say, I love you, you dumb fuck. I take two strides over and pow both hands, into the sidewalk. Then my friend dusts themself off and says, "Yo, Goonie!" Because my name is Goonie. I'm a DJ, a gardener, I make the best ice-cream sandwiches in the world. I shove my friends into brick walls and pavement. I've never been to New York but when I go I won't take the subway, because the subway is for chumps who are too lazy to walk. [Merge will release Hospitality's debut in early 2012]

Lindsay Buckingham - "Seeds We Sow". I am not an engineer or a musician but if I had a studio like Lindsay Buckingham's studio, like the studio I imagine Lindsay Buckingham to have, I would never leave my house. Every single dream or wish, I would render in music. I would record a song of true love, of fulfillment, of a holiday in St Petersburg. I build up my friendships with chords, I would say my farewells with reverb. My walls would be lined with golden records, each one with a secret message in the slow fade out. [buy]
