I wanted to make sure to always stay current, try to find new material and stay with the modern techniques.
I actually spend as much time listening to new music as to old. Probably more. I just try to get something out of it all.
I try not to look at my old stuff or my new stuff, really. I'm not a fan.
I try to be objective about technology. Agnostic, in a sense. Whatever personal opinions I form tend to have more to do with what we find to do with the new thing.

We prided ourselves at Oregon, where teams said they were going to try to beat us down and try to manhandle us, and maybe in the first quarter they were running with us, but it was just, 'Let's see how they are come the fourth quarter when they're tired, and they've had 70 to 80 plays coming at them non-stop.'
It's always fun to try non-traditional athletic wear with cutouts and fun textures.
I do spend time trying to find good melodies, and I try to remember them when I do discover them. But also it's mostly intuitive; I noodle around with the line until it sounds and feels right.
