Q: what is your selection process for songs?
A: first, generate some entirely new ones. then when i'm done doing that, then, go through the entire list of everything and find ones that i would be excited about doing, and put those in a 'finalists' list. like the play-offs, in sports. top 20 or 30. Then, i actually start working on the writing for some of those, without choosing yet. Then i set a hard deadline, sometime in the next 24 hours, to decide which will be the next one to be finished, recorded, vidified etc. It gets pretty painful toward the end, and sometimes there is a lot of feelings of remorse and dread the next day. but in the end i have to trust the system because it's the best system i have
