In my head, I consider 'No Turning Back' my 'dipping the toe in the water' album. It was mostly covers of favorite songs, and there were three originals in there. So, it feels like it was just my album to see what the temperature of the water was.
I don't do album covers or CD covers for groups or musicians I don't like or have no interest in.
I do covers for CDs and LPs of music that I like, reissues of old-time music, and then I'm inspired to make some kind of drawing based on this love of the music. I don't do album covers or CD covers for groups or musicians I don't like or have no interest in.
I searched the good music that I loved and found out that was all by Miguel! What a strange coincidence! I'm a massive fan of 'Sure Thing' by Miguel.
I posed as an album-cover designer and photographer... That I today have some album covers and photographs to show for myself is a monument to the attention-to-detail of my disguise.
I would say my favorite is probably the 'Colder' video. Just because that sort of brings the album artwork to life. It's not my favorite song on the album, but visually, I think it just came out exactly how I had it in my head.
I don't tend to have a favorite album; I tend to have favorite tracks. There are flaws in every album that spoil it for me.
My favorite album would have to be Rocket To Russia. I feel this album has the most classic Ramones songs.
I really love 'Mr. Rager.' I know the first album is incredible, but my favorite Kid Cudi album is the second one.
The only thing I can think of is my favorite album at the moment by this guy called Father John Misty, and the album is called I Love You, Honeybear. It's just brilliant. It's the album I'm currently obsessed with. It is original, and the lyrics are fantastic and [it's] brilliant. So that's blowing me away.
I'm not comfortable doing a covers album.
I've never heard anything like 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not.' The Arctic Monkeys are my favorite band, and that is my favorite album.
I have always wanted to do a Christmas album and covers.
Nobody considers a covers record an album.
I started out as an assistant to a director on two movies, Miguel Arteta. The movies I worked on were 'Chuck and Buck' and 'The Good Girl.' I didn't even know I wanted to be a director until I started working with Miguel.
You can have a favorite band, but when they sign with a major label... maybe a new producer says, 'You can't do that, take this down a notch.' And you'll keep listening, but you'll always think their first album was their best album.
