Some of our stuff ends up looking too corporate. I'm going to be a lot stricter from now on.

When I was 14 years old, I was a huge fan of the Velvets, the Stooges and the Modern Lovers. They are my three favourite bands. I never get sick of 'em.

CDs, too. Totally corporate. They look real cheap and soulless and they don't smell of anything.

For me, it's all about The Dubliners by James Joyce. I love The Dead.

I guess I'm about ready to promote myself in a more human way. I don't feel quite so insecure.
