Q&A with an avant-garde Swiss army knife

IS: Would you ever imagine doing a folk record? Like, sitting down with a guitar and recording songs and singing them as straight as possible as a departure because that would be the most odd thing for you to do, to me.

MP: Maybe if Mark Ribot was the guitarist (laughs)

IS: Yeah, you wouldn't be sitting up there alone.

MP: No. Y'know I've wanted to do a record of, like a piano bar record for a long time just me and a piano. And write for that. I think that'd be really fun. I mean, you know, obviously man, there's still a whole world out there, there's a million things left to do.

IS: I'm glad you're so excited about this still, about music.

MP: Gotta be.
