I Tried To Play Bass In A

If I Wasn't A Musician I'd Probably Be Like A Meth Addict.

Indie Record Stores Are As Important To A Touring Musician As An Incredible Thrift Store. I Can't Overstate How Good It Feels To Place An Original Pressing Of 'veedon Fleece' In Your Most Underused Of Shirts And Pack It Into Your Suitcase, Anxiously Awaiting The Day You Get Home So That You Can Play It As Though It Was Your Reward Or Trophy From The Long Journey You Had Just Finished Embarking On.

Lately I've Been Falling Asleep Listening To 'common One' By Van Morrison, Specifically The Song 'summertime In England.' It's 15 Minutes Long, So To Make It Through The Entire Song Is A Real Task Unto Itself, But Van Has That Emotional Payoff That Makes Even His Most Tiresome Songs More Powerful Than Most People's Entire Catalog.

I Knew How Touring Was For 10 Years, But It's Completely Different Now That Things Are Popping Off.

I Think Any Branding For Me Is Band-related. It's Really Weird To Get Used To The Exposure, Because I Am A Naturally Introverted Person, And I'm Not Exactly Social. Occasionally I Can Get Comfortable Enough To Talk, But I Spend A Lot Of My Days Not Talking, Especially When I'm At Home And Not On Tour.
