RS: Good answer. I heard you've been approached to remix many big projects but have turned them down. Why would you like choose to remix someone like Pet Shop Boys as opposed to Britney Spears?
Baby Daddy: I wouldn't mind mixing Britney Spears, I think "Toxic" is amazing. It's a timing issue as we don't have all the time in the world. There are a few obligations but there are few people in our mind that we would make the time for.
RS: Who would they be?
Baby Daddy: Pet Shop Boys was one of them. We feel like we have dues to pay the bands like that have really put bands like us on the map. I don't think Britney Spears necessarily was crucial in putting us where we are, even though I like some of her songs, but I don't respect her, though I like some of her songs. We have an enormous amount of respect for Pet Shop Boys. Blondie was one of them, we made the time, we did it. Kylie was another that was on the top of our list and we said if the opportunity comes up then we'll do it, and it did and we did. So, it's a case-by-case basis. I don't know who else, but if Brian Eno walked up to me I'd quit the band. No, I wouldn't, but we'd make it work.
RS: Can you think of one other person maybe who would be on that list, that hot list of yours?
Baby Daddy: Well I know for Jake it's Paul Williams. He wrote the Muppet Movie soundtrack and the Bugsy Malone soundtrack as well as "Just an Old Fashioned Love Song." Paul is one of Jake's favorite songwriters. We've been begging Dolly Parton to do a number with us, and we will continue to beg.
RS: Being from Nashville, I can totally see that.
Baby Daddy: I have a lot of family there, I grew-up in Lexington Kentucky so we would go down there all the time as well.
RS: From Dolly let's go back to Kylie, what was it like working in the studio with Kylie?
Baby Daddy: Kylie was amazing. She was a trip. She was insane, she's great.
RS: Which do you enjoy more, playing live or doing the studio stuff?
Baby Daddy: They're about on equal par with me, I think a balance is what's important. We started off as a band that would make music in the studio and we'd go out and perform it the same night. We'd just finish it and perform it and it was all part of the same equation but two very different things. There were two very different approaches. Maybe I jam a little more comfortably in the studio because you go in the studio and come out with something new, and I'm a sucker for having something new in front of me. But without having the live shows there'd be no sort of understanding of what we've accomplished.
RS: Two quick final questions, what software do you use in the studio on your computer?
Baby Daddy: I use Logic.
RS: Awesome, that's what we use. The pool in the "Comfortably Numb" video, what does that represent?
Baby Daddy: It's the director's concept that we tweaked a little The director wanted to bring in the element of an isolating drug experience, and that's what it was. It was a bit of being in the womb, and I think that's mentioned in the song as well. If you look at the video it starts in with very close shots and it pulls away at the end to a few people in an isolated and completely black world. I think that's where it's going. That's what it is to me. It's a drug experience and that's what that song is.
