{{Jason Cropper quote|I got in the shower with my girlfriend the other day, and she's so cool, like she's a thousand times more hip than me and knows every cool band, and likes really cool music, and has the coolest Instagram feed, and like the coolest style, and is like a ballerina princess... yknow.

And then all of the sudden the words came in, "yeah, yeah, yeah, you're my indie rockin' queen" and I was like, "I gotta go" and I literally jumped out of the shower and I ran for my guitar because it was one of those moments where like, "okay the whole song is just gonna write itself, all you gotta do is try to keep up" and I just turn on a voice memo or write it down. | And then all of the sudden the words came in, "yeah, yeah, yeah, you're my indie rockin' queen" and I was like, "I gotta go" and I literally jumped out of the shower and I ran for my guitar because it was one of those moments where like, "okay the whole song is just gonna write itself, all you gotta do is try to keep up" and I just turn on a voice memo or write it down. | ||
The idea of "your clock will turn back all the time, ''The Clash'' 1979, Replacements ''Saturday Night Live''" or "take me round to the flip side, vinyl spinning through the night, dancing just like 1985" is just this idea that everybody really is emotionally attached to the music they loved at a certain age in our culture. If you were twelve and you discovered... [[Weezer]], or ''The Police'', or whoever it is, and if you have a moment where you're like, "ah..
