Ben Folds once mentioned a project called "40 Fingers" that was going to be the two of you plus Amanda Palmer and Tim Minchin all on Piano. Was any actual recording done with the 4 of you and if so is there any chance it might be released sometime?

Too bad. It would be a huge challenge to have that much talent playing together and being able to keep out of each other's way musically, but the potential upside could have been so interesting.

Did you do any TA-ing or teaching when you were in graduate school? With your communication skills, knowledge base, and sense of humor I would expect you to be really good at it.

What was it like working on Alicia Witt's "Revisionary History" album after you two had broken up? Do you plan to do any more producing in the near future?

You often play very unexpected cover songs, like the Killers "Mr Brightside" when you play live, how do you decide what songs to do? Excepting the version of Pink Floyd's "Mother" at the Viper Room, I know all about that and getting to play and sing with you that night was one of the highlights of my life! It was great to confirm that you are as genuine and sweet in person as you present yourself online.
