We visited the Bowling Green, Kentucky, home of Cage the Elephant frontman Matt Shultz, and discovered his favorite things, from Daniel Johnson drawings, a BB gun, Playskool and Fisher-Price toys, and much more.

Watch the behind the scenes video below to see Matt talk about all of the goodies.

About our host: “We’re paranoid about repeating ourselves,” says Cage the Elephant singer Matt Shultz.

But the frontman can’t forsake his punkish roots. “If I write anything too melodic,” he admits sheepishly, “I’m still like, ‘I don’t know, man.'”
