Wow! Starting off with such a low blow. But the truth of the matter is I am not ashamed by my sordid past. I was into metal once - way into metal, but actually, the Maiden tribute band, Seventh Sun by the way, came after my metal daze. (sic)To defend my current hipster status, my tongue was planted firmly in cheek at the time.

In all seriousness, the reason I make music is to strive to create my perfect ideal of what music should be to me, and so far I think I am doing a good job. I am never satisfied with what's on the radio and usually when I see a concert I think: not bad, but I could do it better. But I also think most everybody who is posessed with a muse thinks the same way.

I typically have a pretty low self esteem until I remind myself that I could always be doing alot worse. I have to validate my own existence because nobody will do it for me. There's nothing I want more than for my songs to reach a multitude of people and maybe even in some way enrich their lives. I have a pretty altruistic outlook despite the bitterness and self-absorption. (laughs heartily)

None whatsoever...No really, it's just a matter of pop versus rock, dementia versus insanity, pleasure versus ecxtasy, Stones versus Beatles. I started the band because when Troy and I would work on songs together he could never sing my vocal ideas the way I wanted to hear them so I thought it best to let him do his own thing and would set out to do mine. We just hear different things now and then.

I have anxiety attacks everytime I go downtown. There's just something about all the burnt out buildings and the freeways that seem to exist only to break your car and trap you amongst the rubble that scares me. It's amazing though- go to Detroit during the day and it's full of hope and promise and legitimate activity, and on the same evening it becomes so bleak and desolate. I am depressed enough as it is living in Royal Oak. And if I feel a bit too good - I have quite a few Scott Walker lps.
