Do you play live?
I prefer not to perform live,and feel more inspired within the studio realm.This doesn't mean that I won't perform live,just not very often.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Mp3 is probably the biggest single innovation in music within the last 30 years.That,combined with the internet has given the indie artist incredible amounts of power to be heard.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I would.Distribution is still key.And you can't beat a major for that.I'd prefer a distribution deal,over a full contract though.

Favorite spot?
Seattle always has someone I want to see playing on any given night.And it's beautiful.
Anything else...?
All the songs for this project were recorded over the span of 8 years and employ various recording techniques.Everything from ghettoblaster overdubbing to computer based multitracking was used.The emphasis is on the song,more so than perfection.
Enjoy.
