Shopworn bohemian hipster makes pop music for you.
Why this name?
It was ripped from today's headlines.
Do you play live?
I love to play live -- the alternative is unthinkable. My best show was at 13th Street Coffee House in Omaha Nebraska. I told the audience I would projectile vomit if I didn't hear vigorous applause after each song. They clapped like crazy.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
If it weren't for the internet, only a few people would have heard my music. Now, thanks to the internet, perhaps 20 people have heard my music.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I'll never sell out to da man.
Band History:
I've been writing songs and performing for a few years now, but it feels more like 700 days.
Your influences?
The Magnetic Fields, Brian Eno, Underworld, Suzanne Vega, Lou Reed, My Bloody Valentine, Seefeel, Shoukichi Kina, Kate Bush, The Orb, Pizzicato Five, Stereolab, Liz Phair, Jane Siberry, Steve Earle, Ryuichi Sakamoto, They Might Be Giants. I don't sound like any of those people.
Favorite spot?
My hot tub. And you're all invited!
Equipment used:
I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you.
Anything else...?
I'm just making music to get chicks.
