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.

Theres a bunch of Elvis Costello records that made all the difference between feeling like a total freak and feeling like ... only a freak. A freak among other freaks

There's lots of ways people can be dependent, on another person, or drugs.

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.

There are lots of things I like about playing in a band, the things I cant do by myself you know.

So if somebody writes a song that appears to have some meaning then everybody thinks that it's a really heavy song.

Certain songs just feel a way that's hard to put into words and it's not happy and it's also not really sad but I couldn't say what it is
