Lots of little delightful tidbits in this A.V. Club interview and performance:

1. “I’ve Been Waiting” is about his wife of 18 years
2. I will now have to reevaluate all of his other songs that I assumed were breakup songs
3. He sells handmade pottery while on tour
4. Matthew Sweet looks not at all like I would have expected

For those interested, they’ve also got Ben Folds discussing “The Luckiest”.
