Damon: I’d actually met him before that. I think it’s just through…mutual commonality of preference. What’s the songwriting process like for you guys in light of your geographical constraints?
You know, it’s no different from how most other guitar/drum/bass rock groups operate. The guitar plays something and the rhythm section finds some way to [sigh] link up to it. You get the idea. And before you start to ask, “Why didn’t you ask deeper, more probing things?” let me just say, “eff you.” When you have a scant 800 words to tell your readers they should buy a CD because it’s a good CD, you don’t ask the guy about fucking poetry or God or Italian fascists. You ask him simple stuff and hope you get a funny quote about being on tour or something. But sometimes you just end up feeling stupid. Like now.
