"That deep, can-still-taste-her-in-my-mouth sleep."

Akiroq Brost

"Let the night take you. Let the stars evaporate into your dreams. Let sleep be the only comfort for you to believe."

Quote_1.png
Akiroq Brost

"Shadow crawled across the floor to the yellow foam-rubber pad and climbed onto it, pulling the thin blanket over himself, and closed his eyes, and he held onto nothing, and he held onto dreams."

Akiroq Brost

"Rest satisfied with doing well, and leave others to talk of you as they will."

Akiroq Brost

"Mother believed that I should have an enormous amount of sleep, and so I was never really tired when I went to bed. This was the best time of day, when I could lie in the vague twilight, drifting off to sleep, making up dreams inside my head the way they should go."

Quote_1.png
Akiroq Brost

"Gradually, he fell into that deep tranquil sleep which ease from recent suffering alone imparts; that calm and peaceful rest which it is pain to wake from. Who, if this were death, would be roused again to all the struggles and turmoils of life; to all its cares for the present; its anxieties for the future; more than all, its weary recollections of the past!"

"If the world leaders can afford a 7 hours sleep, most of us probably can too."

Quote_1.png
Akiroq Brost

"Rest fixed most things. Sleep was my sweet reward. I treated bedtime as both incentive and sacrament."

Quote_1.png
Akiroq Brost

"An irresistible sleep fell deeply on his eyes, the sweetest, soundest oblivion, still as the sleep of death itself."

Akiroq Brost

"What we do at its very, very best, at its very, very most, will shift us slightly in our seat. If only for two hours, great. If for the rest of our lives, even better."

"A lot of the great songwriters in history have been collaborators, with a separate lyricist."

Quote_1.png
Mike Gordon
"I don't really have a favorite bass player. I listen to a lot of bluegrass. But then again, I'm not a typical bluegrass bass player. I was really into the Grateful Dead, and I still am - I don't listen to them too much, but for me they are a big influence."

Mike Gordon
"Lately Fish and I have been hooking up more, which is a good thing because it's just been a struggle for me as a bass player to play with someone who's so creative on the drums, and lately it's been really good, especially during sound checks."
Quote_1.png
Mike Gordon
"Travelling to different countries is a goal. I wouldn't mind playing huge places if we got an opportunity to, but it's nice to play small places too. Fish was saying yesterday that he doesn't ever want to play stadiums, or maybe he would once, he said."

Mike Gordon
"I want to take some jams and really concentrate on hooking up with Page because, since he's the only one not next to me, and his sound is mainly coming from my monitor rather than through the air, it's a little harder for me to hook up with him."

Mike Gordon
"If part of the purpose of making an album is to get some radio play, then you might as well think about that. But that's not really how we picked the songs."
Quote_1.png
Mike Gordon
"We have been trying to play a lot of different kinds of music, and probably the next album will go back more towards the direction where you couldn't classify each song as a certain kind of music. This album you can."
Quote_1.png
Mike Gordon
"Last tour my bass rig was breaking down every other night. That was a pain. We would get on stage and Trey would count off the song, and I'd play the first note and nothing would be there. Those guys would just roll their eyes."
Quote_1.png
Mike Gordon
"The way that we imitate each others' riffs is something that other bands don't do as much. If we're jamming with a jazz band, or I am jamming with a jazz band, I have to catch myself, the tendency is always to do that."
