I first heard “Tape You” by N.E.R.D., my favorite band in the world, one of my favorite songs ever, on the radio. Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite, his first album, co-written by Leon Ware. I first heard ”Maureen” by Sade on the radio. Although it's not the most important thing, there's still a percentage of me that wants to listen to the radio one day and say, “Oh, that's my song!” A lot of my favorite artists I heard for the first time because of the radio. Why is radio important to you in 2018? I grew up listening to it. You have millions of followers on social media. If it's not the next album, then it's the three after that.

Where did you get your love of jazz from? I don't know.
He's fixated on the suit, which is surprising for a guy who's famous for his fractured attention span. But, to be fair, it could have been from seasons ago.
(And found it!) And just went by the nearest Marni, which unfortunately didn't have the suit. We literally typed “Paris Cookie” in Google. But he doesn't have any other information on the bakery. And he's looking for a certain gray two-piece suit he saw a black guy with a high-top wear in an editorial. Today he wants white-chocolate cookies from a particular bakery he went to the last time he was in Paris. Tyler can be incredibly specific in his tastes.
