I’ve been making some good music for my deep tissue massage lately. You don’t want to just leave it up to the masseuse, because he’ll bring some new-age waterfall sound music. You’ve got to make your own iPod massage list. Now I really like David Bowie, but it’s weird, because I was going through all his songs lately, wondering what would be a good mellow song for a massage, and I found there aren’t any. So I said "Fuck it, I don’t care, I don’t need mellow music to get a massage to! Maybe I want her to push hard?" So I put on Queen Bitch, and all of this:

1) White Stripes – Seven Nation Army
2) The Killers – Mr Brightside
3) The Strokes – Fear of Sleep
4) Queen – Killer Queen
5) T-Pain – Bartender
6) Beck – Gamma Ray
7) Neil Young – Let’s Impeach the President
8) The Who – Baba O’ Reilly
9) Arcade Fire - Intervention
10) David Bowie – Queen Bitch

I also like Sandwich, a new Metallica song, have you heard it? You know the song One? We put new lyrics on there and instead of it being about a guy hit by a landmine who finds himself paralysed, deaf, dumb and blind, it’s about a delicious sandwich made out of egg salad. “Salad! Is made out of egg, with mayonnaise, it is delicious. Put it on toast, smells like a fart, but it’s delish, better than fucking fish!" We can't put that on the tape though.
