So far, the band has about 30 songs in hand, ranging from completely finished recordings to partially recorded tracks to rougher ideas. It began with a snippet of him and Fischel jamming on acoustic guitar and piano over a drum sample. It just kinda has a groove. The challenge is to make that interesting for three or four minutes.

It was a fantastic show in our hometown and it sold out in an hour. Everybody was psyched and loving the world. It sounds and feels fantastic in there. I saw LCD Soundsystem play there and I know the Flaming Lips have played there—just these bands that normally would never play in a person capacity room.
