i have no idea. i just didn't want to call it my name.

i would like to play live, although there are only a few songs that i could duplicate by myself live and still make them sound how they should. it would be fun to give it a go though.

eventually maybe it will make the whole idea of music having to cling to an 'industry' obsolete. this, however, is me living in a dream world i think.

if i fit in i probably would. i have no idea how they would market me though. major labels tend to whore you out for fast cash, and i'm pretty sure that i'm not worth that much.

am i really a "band"? on a couple of my songs there is a guest musician, but mostly it's just me playing in my basement or closet or something. i don't even use the computer in the recording process, it's all analog.

jeff mangum, fugazi, jason farrell, geoff farina, bright eyes, dead milkmen, f***, drive like jehu, jimi hendrix, interpol, neutral milk hotel, the gerbils, the pixies, the lemonheads and sonic youth. to name a few.

for analog recording i use a tascam portastudio 414 and a 424. for the computer i use acid pro 4.0 and wavelab. for guitars i use a danelectro 56-u2, a fender telecaster, a fender acoustic, an ernie ball musicman stingray bass, an sg and a busted-up siewa jazzman: all lefty. for amplification(where applicable, as i usually run instruments directly into the four track) a little 15-watt crate amplifier and an 80-watt peavey. i use a danelectro chicken salad vibrato and a really old dunlop crybaby wah pedal from time to time. for the drums i used a pearl export kit usually, but once or twice i break out with the old mutt kit made up of tons of different sets.
