Guys won't admit it, but we're all obsessed with our biceps. I did three sets of ten reps, thirty-five pounds on each side. I knew I was pushing it, especially since we have practice this afternoon, but what the fuck. That was going to be my motto today. What the fuck.

You need to just understand where the ball is and how to use your body. Timing your jump the right way is crucial. Learn how to use your body to shield the receiver and box him out, again, much like a rebound. Trying to beat a receiver to a ball can be a lot like you're posting him up. Rebounding is great practice because you can employ those skills - body position, leverage, timing - a lot more than you might in a football game or practice if the quarterback doesn't look your way.

I've never been able to sit round on my own and play drums, practice in the back room, never been able to. I've always played with other musicians. It's how I play, there's no joy for me in playing on my own, bashing away. I need a bass, a piano, guitar, whatever, and then I can play.

I never really liked Minor Threat. Actually, I kind of thought they sucked. And then Daniel came into practice one day and said, 'Oh, let's play a song it's called Minor Threat.' And I just thought, 'I don't want to play that fucking song!' And then I said, 'Yeah, I will do it.' And then we were playing it. And it's, like, grand and I ended loving this song and started listening to more of their stuff. I love them and they are great.
