book artist phones
That's the only interaction I have with people, those talking shows. Most of the people in my phone book are artists, management, producers, engineers. I don't ever call people with, "Hi! How are you?" I say, "How are you? Do you have that 16/30 ready? When do you want me to come into the studio?" That's what I do.
gay arkansas sound
Young, gay and stuck in Arkansas? Sounds like a horror flick.
technology innovation advent
With any advent in technology, any technological innovation, there is the good and the bad.
hate talking long
The talking shows allow me to come out of my cave and that's why those shows go on for so long. I hate walking off stage. Sometimes I walk off and I miss them as I'm walking off the stage. I wonder if they'll let me go another hour. That's why I do it: to communicate, to get points across.
hero vehicle hard
We Americans are hard on almost everything. We are hard on our vehicles, our marriages and our heroes. Mostly, however, we are hard on ourselves.
giving-up america advice
To our enemies all over the world who plan America's demise, please take my advice. Give up now. No matter what, you will lose. You will lose it all.
breathing giving wish
To burn a CDR of music you like to give as a gift to someone you wish to become closer to is a cold, moist-palmed, mouth-breathing bummer.
song writing weekend
The music kind of takes care of itself because we've done all that as preproduction in the practice room. So by the time it gets onstage, each song has about one hundred hours of way too much mothering gone into it. So when you see us play live, that is the product of ninety days of practice, over a year of writing, listening to demos on the weekends after practice.
trying hungry hours
Even though I am not hungry when I get up, I try to eat to get me ready for the day. Within an hour of getting up.
war anti-war truth-is
The truth is an anti-war statement in itself.
writing opportunity long
The opportunity to write for the 'L.A. Weekly' has been one of the better breaks that has come my way in a long time.
struggle writing water
From those who agonize that they may no longer be able to write off their private jet to someone who doesn't feel like making the three mile hike to the well to get water and carry it back, everyone struggles.
book seems
'The Great Gatsby' is a book I have read a few times, and it seems to get heavier every time I come to visit.
space effort obscure
I tend to gravitate to the darkest or most obscure part of any venue in an effort to have my own space to experience the music on my own, free from unwanted conversations and other distractions.
