What
separates this album from the past verve pipe albums? "Much more reflective, personalized song writing. Less ambiguous, more acoustic guitar." What is your favorite track on the CD? what is the inspiration behind it? When does it come out? "Mileage is my favorite. It's a simple song of reflection, and acceptance. the album should be out in a few weeks -- but the song is available for listening at mp3.com" Will there be more solo work in the future, or a new full band release? "The future holds many solo discs, as well as verve pipe discs. Though there is something magical about playing and recording with the verve pipe, it's very cathartic to record on my own as well. It's also given me another creative outlet, which brings me peace." Do you write the lyrics or music first? "Always melody first!" Is going solo much different than a full band experience? Did the band have writing power or did you do most of it? "Donny (our drummer) is a phenomenal songwriter. Dougy as well. That's why it's tough to get songs on our record -- we all try to out do each other, which is healthy, and makes for better records. The solo work is all me, however, and that's nice too." How did the shooting of the movie "dead and breakfast" go? Do you think you will continue acting? "Dead and breakfast was by far the toughest film role yet -- for what looks like about five minutes on screen. I had to wear a prosthetic face -- one I covered at all times -- 3 hours of make-up and then walk around with a drumstick in my eye for another 14 hours. Headaches galore!" What's in your CD player at home now? what are your all time favorite CDs? "Bjork's post. Love that record -- Nick Drake's Pink Moon, Elvis Costello's spike, XTC's skylarking, The Beatles' Abby Road." Who is your favorite artist that you've toured with in the past? Who would you LOVE to tour with? "kiss was my favorite! what a blast! I would love it if XTC went out and took us!" How did it feel to rewrite Spoonful of Sugar with "contemporary" lyrics for the Aware Compilation? Did you mind? Do you consider it a completely different song? "It was my choice to rewrite the lyrics -- I hated the idea of just doing the same tune!" I want to ask the infamous question-where do you see yourself in 10 years? "5 kids -- My wife's in charge" What is the funniest email you received? or funniest thing a fan did for you or to you? "I can't think of one really funny email. hmmmm." Who rules more. The Spartans, or the Wolverines? The Spartans -- as evident in the NCAA playoffs. |
