Throw Your Own Party

Fred: You don't want to release an album to appease the mass marketplace and wonder, “What do I think the mass marketplace is going to like?” I've never been a fan of trying to get invited to other people's parties. I learned early in life, and especially with my band, you don't want to try to be one of the cool kids, so you can get invited to the cool kids’ party. You want to throw your own party, and you want people to come to your party. A long time ago, I had this epiphany: The party begins and ends right here.
