Tune in to Kids and Family Week is perfect for me.
I’m a huge fan of Canadian rock-and-roll. When I was growing up, Rush came out with a record called Hemispheres, and I must have listened to that record for two years straight. Even when I was asleep I had it on. So, yeah, whenever I hear a Rush tune, the first thing I think of is Toronto.
The bigger the pressure, the sharper I am, the more in tune with my body I am, the better my tactics seem to be. A lot of people crumble under pressure; they do something crazy.
My fans are like, ‘Lab does what he does,’ which is really cool. If I came out with a Jack White rock tune tomorrow, people would be like, ‘Yeah, cool man,’ which is great.
We can quiet our minds enough to tune in to what our bodies are telling us – I believe in angels – and we need to listen to the messages being sent. They are real messages – just as real as a human saying something to you.
I think we’re tremendously different than the series, if they were to tune in to the series after seeing the movie they might be disappointed. That there was, you know, that they might have some kind of adverse reaction.
‘Dog Days’ was recorded with pens and the wall, and half a stolen drum kit that was out of tune, in what was basically a cupboard. The only instrument I could really play was my voice, so we just layered everything a hundred times. It was enthusiasm over skill.
Pretty much every show that comes on, I’ll try to watch at least one episode of it. For me, there are three different levels. I watch the first episode, and if I love it, I’m lockin’ it in for the rest of the season. If I’m not too sure about it, I will maybe tune in the next week. It it’s just terrible, then I’m done.

One thing we were looking for from the start was players who really fit together, who sounded in tune.
We had a music teacher in sixth grade, and I saw her tune her guitar. I said, ‘Whoa. There’s a certain way to do this.’ I bought a packet of strings – some of mine were broken – and had her tune it for me. For a while, I just kept it like that. But I got the Internet finally, when I was 14, and started learning.
We tune down a full step when we play but I never miss a note. I’ve learned how to keep my voice.
Even if you have a big tune, live crowds can get sick of it. It’s not just about the song but also the staying power and if people have connected with it in a certain way. I know that the tracks I put more emotion and depth into are the ones that have the staying power in clubs.
Having the strength to tune out negativity and remain focused on what I want gives me the will and confidence to achieve my goals.
‘Moonage Daydream’ is my favourite because it’s an amazing pop tune with such strange parts to it.
Many times good actors I have known in New York accept series. I tune in at the beginning of the new season and think ‘He’s really working.’ But six months later, if I tune in again, the actor is on a treadmill, grinding it out as best he can, and he can’t help it.
When you dance, your body just wants to find its natural weight. I’m naturally a lot more Tommy Tune than I am Wolverine.

During trade deadline, we pretty much tell every player, look, there’s lots of names, lots of everything for every player in the league.

I’m a bad guitar tuner. I have to pay somebody to tune my guitars.
That’s why everybody loves to tune in and watch these fights, because at any given moment, any given fight, any given fighters, anything can happen. A fighter could win nine out of 10 times, but there’s always that one time.

If I write a tune and people think it’s nice, then that’s fine by me, but I hate having to compete and promote the thing. I really don’t like promotion.
I think if I tried very hard, I could do a novel or a play, a poem. I could possibly paint a picture, but I know I can’t write music. And still, it is the most accessible of all arts, as you know when you hear a tune.

I saw Mercury Prize-winners Alt-J for the first time recently, touring their debut album ‘An Awesome Wave,’ and I’m still riding the high: they’re the most musically dynamic and exciting band to have poured tune into my lug holes live since Bellowhead.
The great ones have the ability to focus and tune everything else out and see more than the others. Average quarterbacks have tunnel vision. They see what’s in front of them. The better you get, the more that tunnel expands, and the more guys on the field you see.
When I became older and started to become more in tune with my political leanings, there was a disconnect between the feminist in me and the hip hop side of me, and I don’t know if, in some way, those influences are also present in Tupac’s work.

It’s amazing how many companies aren’t really in tune to the needs of different travelers. There’s just so many embarrassing situations that you go through when you travel. You have to have a sense of humor about it and take it in stride. My whole approach is to embrace spontaneity.

We try to put on a show that people can be proud of whether you are in Tuscaloosa, Baton Rouge, Austin, Tallahassee or Columbus, Ohio or wherever you are. We try to be symbolic of where you happen to be that Saturday. You tune into it, you see the energy, passion and love we have for the sport.
When I’m out there, it’s not even me who is doing the acting and the wrestling and the moving. It is something that I feel like I see channels more than anything else. So, for me, I tune into the right frequency. I get turned on and we’re ready for take off.
I’m fairly in tune with what’s private with my husband and with me.
My favorite show tune has got to be Stephen Sondheim’s ‘I Remember Sky.’ It’s probably the saddest song of all time; I sing it to myself in the mirror. No, I am kidding. That’s the joke.
Some of those early Kinks songs, we were barely in tune.
I don’t think about time. You’re here when you’re here. I think about today, staying in tune.
The reason why we do maths is because it’s like poetry. It’s about patterns, and that really turned me on. It made me feel that maths was in tune with the other things I liked doing.

I’ve never really been that much of a fan of Ninja Tune.
