[2] Claret describes the album as “Tina Turner fronting Outkast at Bette Midler’s bat mitzvah.” She adds, “I wanted to make music that sounds like it could’ve been written in the ’60s or ’70s, but with a big fat hip-hop-like low end.

For Urine's birthday, Claret took him to shoot guns with Michael Rooker at his private range.

[3] I love upbeat 60′s music: the British Invasion, the doo wop dollies, Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound, blue-eyed soul–all of it.

When I turned 15, I started sneaking into mod clubs in New York City, where I danced and people-watched until four in the morning.

I remember being blown away the first time I heard Lauryn Hill’s ‘Doo Wop (That Thing)’–I was so happy that music could sound like that again.
