I don't really like New York better than Portland. It's just a different place.
My girlfriend at the time convinced me to send these songs to Cavity Search. When they wanted to put out my record I was totally shocked.
I didnt know how many people knew who Ferdinand was.
I mean people just have a way of - y'know they'll review your record in two sentences and put you in this little stupid box that you don't want to be in
I've been doing four-track songs by myself since I was like a teenager, where I'd sing in a way that I ... I just didn't think other people would like it, so I didn't play it for them but eventually I got over that, which I'm happy that I did, because it's kind of a drag to be playing a kind of music that you don't really like as much as another kind.
While his history of depression is compatible with suicide... and the location and direction of the stab wounds are consistent with self-infliction, several aspects of the circumstances (as they are known at this time) are atypical of suicide and raise the possibility of homicide.
It was hard to sing like how I wanted to because playing live I had to just be at the top of my lungs all the time, and it made me sound like I had a really bad cold or something.
But I was also doing odd jobs around Portland, like spreading gravel and transplanting bamboo trees.
There are lots of things I like about playing in a band, the things I cant do by myself you know.
I can't think of anything off the top of my head that seems more important than something designed to raise money to keep something going that keeps IV drug users from dying.
I wondered if I would talk about drug use. But I guess, why hide it?
I was trying to do the same thing that I always do which is make an interesting record
I didn't think I was gonna be playing on the Oscars or anything.
It touches on drug use. I got caught up in that for almost two years.
The band's filter, but playing live is a lot of fun.
I rode on a float in one of the parades in Mississippi. It's an experience.
I actually don't think that I'm gonna sell a lot of records.
