1 - Tell us how
your project(s) were started.
Me, Tim Martinkovitch and Mike Varga were playing in a band called the Covert Agency. We have just recently started playing again in PA and if anyone wants to book our lousy asses please contact me. Anyway, we all graduated and Tim moved to Denver. We wanted to keep our music interests and ambitions in tact.
2 - What does music,
in its entirety, mean to you?
It means freedom, escape, reality, anger, love, peace, and a million other thoughts and feelings that can't be expressed in one word or even a phrase. It has saved my life quite a few times, and I know that sounds cheesy but I gotta tell the truth. There is something spiritual about it... doesn't seem earthly. It means that I can be what I want somewhere else or I can relieve my gut's trauma for a minute or an hour...
3 - What does art,
in its entirety, mean to you?
Someone was trying to say to me the other day that art = beauty = pain and one cannot exist without the other, they coexist in a balance. I think that's shit. Art can be something completely pure and holy without the presence of pain, just as it can be bloody and gritty: mean. I think art is just an expression of a feeling/thought/impulse that is conveyed in a an instance. It's a perception that manifests into a creation.
4 - Who is your
favorite author, and why?
Melville. Moby Dick is a crazy ass novel that I read once in a week and gave a long dissertation about. I think some of his short stories are great too, but I really like how he describes the sea and it's power in "Dick". He has alot to say (that I agree with) about the nature of man.
5 - As your best
friend, describe yourself.
Driven. Busy. Determined. Honest.
6 - As your worst
enemy, describe yourself.
Cocky. Persuasive. Volatile. Anal.
7 - If your persona
were immortalized as a cartoon character, who would it be?
Space Ghost.
8 - Do you think
there are conspiracies against the "everyday person"?
No.
9 - What do you
do with your spare or free time?
I try to chase women around and drink alot.
10 - Please give
us your interpretation of "the meaning of life".
I hate this fucking question.
