अपना शो तैयार करने के अलावा मैं ज़्यादा संगीत नहीं सुनता, बस इसलिए क्योंकि मेरी जीवनशैली ऐसी नहीं है कि मैं हर वक्त संगीत सुनता रहूँ। मुझे बास्केटबॉल देखना पसंद है, और जब मैं वह देख रहा होता हूँ तो मैं संगीत सुनना पसंद नहीं करता।
I don't listen to a ton of music other than putting my show together, just because my lifestyle isn't too conducive to listening to music all the time. I like to watch basketball, and I would rather not listen to music while I'm doing that.

मुझे लगता है कि बहुत से ऐसे बैंड हैं जिनके गाने ज़रूरत से ज़्यादा होते हैं।
There are lot of bands that have too many songs, I think.

कभी-कभी गानों को खुद को पूरी तरह अभिव्यक्त करने के लिए अतिरिक्त समय और जगह की ज़रूरत होती है, और कुछ गाने ऐसे होते हैं जिन्हें देखकर लगता है कि बस इतना ही काफी है, बिल्कुल सीधी-सादी बात।
Sometimes songs need extra time and space to really play themselves out, and some songs it's like, this is all you need, a straightforward thing.

जो लोग बजाने या गाने में बहुत माहिर थे, वे मुझे बोरिंग लगते थे।
People who were really good at playing or singing seemed boring to me.

संगीत को लेकर मेरा पूरा नज़रिया ही पलट गया। मैं पंॉक रॉक, एसएसटी सुनते हुए बड़ा हुआ हूँ। मुझे ऐसे लोग पसंद थे जो ऐसा संगीत बनाते थे जिन्हें अपने वाद्ययंत्रों पर शायद ही बहुत महारत हासिल हो; उनके लिए अपने विचारों का होना इस बात से ज़्यादा अहम था कि वे कितना अच्छा बजा या गा सकते हैं।
My whole view of music completely flipped over on its head. I grew up listening to punk rock, SST. I liked people that were making music that weren't necessarily very good at their instruments, it was more about the ideas they had than how well they could play and sing.

पिछले कुछ एल्बमों में बहुत ज़्यादा ओवरडबिंग (आवाज़ या संगीत की परतों को दोबारा जोड़ना) का कारण यह था कि मैं अपनी आवाज़ या गिटार बजाने के तरीके को लेकर असुरक्षित महसूस करता था। मैं चाहता था कि अतिरिक्त चीज़ों से उसे छुपा लूँ, या हर पल को बेहद रोमांचक बनाए रखूँ। नए एल्बम के साथ, मैंने खुद को पीछे खींचने की पूरी कोशिश की, और अगर कोई चीज़ हर पल दिलचस्प नहीं थी, या मेरी आवाज़ उतनी अच्छी नहीं लग रही थी, तो मैंने बस उसे जाने दिया और स्वीकार कर लिया।
A lot of overdubs from the last couple of records had to do with me being insecure about the way my voice sounds or the way I play guitar. I would want to mask it with extra things, or keep every moment super exciting. With the newest record, I tried my best to back off, and if something wasn't interesting at every moment, or if my voice didn't sound that good, just let it go and accept it.

मेरे लिए, मॉडिस माउस अब तक के सबसे बेहतरीन बैंड्स में से एक है। मुझे वास्तव में इस बात से हैरानी नहीं हुई कि वे इतने बड़े स्टार बन गए। ऐसा होते देखना हमेशा अजीब लगता है, और यह इतनी जल्दी होता है कि देखते ही देखते गाने टीवी पर बैकग्राउंड में बजने लगते हैं।
To me, Modest Mouse is one of the best bands ever. I actually wasn't surprised that they made it big. It's always weird to see it happen, and it happens so fast, all of a sudden songs are in the background on TV.

गाने का वह खास अंदाज़, जो मुझे खुद बहुत पसंद है, उसे पकड़ पाना मेरे लिए वाकई बहुत मुश्किल है। मैं इसे पूरी तरह समझ नहीं पाया हूँ, लेकिन उम्मीद है कि कभी न कभी मैं इसे सीख जाऊँगा।
It's really hard for me to capture this certain way of singing that sounds good to me. I don't really understand it, but hopefully some day I'll figure it out.

यह किसी इंटरव्यू का एक ऐसा जोखिम है: आप अपने घिसे-पिटे जवाबों से ऊब जाते हैं और कुछ रचनात्मक करने की कोशिश करते हैं, यहाँ तक कि शैतान के वकील (विपरीत पक्ष) की भूमिका भी निभा लेते हैं।
That's one of those hazards of an interview: You get tired of your stock answer and you try to get creative and even play devil's advocate.

जब मैं बड़ा हो रहा था, तो मुझे पंॉक रॉक बहुत पसंद था। मुझे ऐसे लोग पसंद थे जो ऐसा दमदार संगीत बजाते थे जो बाहर से बेहद सादा होता था - ऐसे लोग जो अजीब कपड़े नहीं पहनते थे और न ही ज़्यादा नाटकबाज़ी करते थे।
When I was growing up, I really liked punk rock. I liked the sort of people that played really powerful music that was pretty unassuming otherwise - people who didn't dress weird or do much theatrics.

मैं कभी किसी रेगे बैंड का हिस्सा नहीं बन सकता, वह कुछ ज़्यादा ही अजीब है।
I could never settle down into a reggae band, that's too bizarre.

यदि आप यह जानते हैं कि कोई आपकी बात सुनने वाला है, तो आप हमेशा इसे लेकर असहज और सचेत रहेंगे। एक तरह से यह अच्छी बात है; यह आपको आगे बढ़ने के लिए प्रेरित करती है।
If you know that someone is going to hear what you're doing, you're always going to be self-conscious about it. In a way that's good; it spurs you on.

अगर लोगों को इलेक्ट्रॉनिक संगीत पसंद है - तो बहुत बढ़िया, इसे अगला ट्रेंड बनने दीजिए। मुझे नहीं लगता कि मुझे कभी यह सच में पसंद आएगा, लेकिन मेरे पास खरीदने के लिए ढेरों दूसरे रिकॉर्ड्स मौजूद हैं।
If people like electronic music, then great - let that be the next thing. I don't think I ever really will, but there's plenty of records for me to go buy.

कुछ रिकॉर्डिंग ऐसी हैं जिनमें मेरी आवाज़ मुझे अच्छी लगती है। लाइव गाना मुझे वाकई बहुत पसंद है, पर मुझे नहीं पता कि वह सुनने में कितना अच्छा लगता है।
There are certain recordings where my voice sounds good to me. Singing live I really enjoy, but I don't know how good it sounds.

जहाँ तक मेरी बात है, मैं एक गिटार वादक या गायक से पहले एक गीतकार हूँ। और काम के लिए कोई दबाव न होना वाकई बहुत अच्छी बात थी।
For me, I'm more of a songwriter than a guitar player or singer. And not having things to work on was really kind of nice.
