I’ve noticed that when I am selling a lot of records, certain things become easier. I’m not talking about getting a table in a restaurant.
I think writers just can’t come up with any new words for what we’re doing, because we’re not ‘retro-‘ anything. Like, in ‘Gold and a Pager,’ we’re not talking about what was current – pagers were cool to us, but they never stopped being cool; people just stopped using them.
I never really think about myself really, but I hope I’m no different whether it be on the radio or telly or on a podcast. It’s about being genuine, and approachable and accessible, not talking at people but with people.
Screaming, it’s not me. I tried it before! Action is more my thing. Not talking. It’s hard for me to have word fights, fighting with words. I’d rather just listen.

Apparently, all foreign media organisations have to follow an approved script of acceptable coverage, lest they are accused of interference. And make no mistake: we’re not talking about neutrality. The only acceptable approach was, ‘Support Clinton, attack Trump’.
I think that our primary concern is that the membership in our industry become active. I’m not talking about the candidates being active. I’m talking about the few hundred thousand people who work in the industry around the United States.
