This is pretty much an "anything goes" kinda page. I do write a lot of solo stuff but I never bother finishing it or I save it for something else in the future.
Why this name?
I go by the alias "Spades" which dates back to highschool when the organisers of a band comp put name down as "Joshua Spades" instead of Joshua Sparks which is my real name. Even the local newspaper put my name down as Joshua Spades.
Do you play live?
I haven't played live since November 2003 besides performing at a couple of wedding services. Would love to get out there again some day but for now it's just writing and recording.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
My bands strictly depend on the internet as none of them play live due to distance issues. I think the internet has done a lot of great things for music. It's enabled me to come across many great artists that I would never of heard about it the first place.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Depends on the deal and how much freedom I would have to do what I want. I don't like being told what I can and cannot do.
