I Like Their Darkness But I Also

I Don't Know If It's Cool To Say This Anymore, But I Grew Up Listening To Gary Glitter. A Majority Of His Songs Were In That Shuffle-blues Beat, And I Think That's Probably Why I Tend To Write Like That.

For Years, I Was Stuck Behind A Keyboard Rig. When I Started Playing Guitar Onstage, It Was A Bit Of A Release - Not To Be Stuck In One Spot The Whole Night. It's Really Enjoyable Having The Freedom To Move Around. You Just Have To Remember To End Up Somewhere Near A Microphone.

If You Repeat Yourself, Then I Think You're In Danger Of Losing That Fan Base, Because If You're Not Interesting Yourselves, You're Not Interesting Your Audience.

When I Write A Song, I Always Start On Acoustic Guitar, Because That's A Good Test Of A Song, When It's Really Open And Bare. You Can Often Mislead Yourself If You Start With Computers And Samples And Programming Because You Can Disguise A Bad Song.

When People Meet Me I Think They're Surprised To Find Out I'm Not Always Angst-ridden.
