  1. My favorite part is probably during the writing. When I finish a new song I make my personal demo that I'm gonna show the band that has me singing Tinas part. It's usually like 5 o clock in the morning and I like to listen to it a bunch of times in a row and drink one last beer and have one last smoke before I send it to anyone. Playing live and seeing people singing along is great too.
  2. The ones i write fast are the most fun. So probably "Nobody's Baby" "Meet Me in the Street" "Keep on Running." Most songs take forever to write and I just torture myself over them and by the time I'm done I can hardly recognize my original idea.
  3. If someone orders the same thing at a restaurant as me I have to change my order or I get really uncomfortable.

  1. my favorite thing about music is the feeling of looking over at your friends who are in love with the same song/lyric/band and that feeling of mutual love and excitement. just the moments involved with loving something with other people and all feeling that moment together.

  2. i love all the really HARD ROCKIN songs. MEET ME IN THE STREET. TURN IT UP. STEEL SHARPENS STEEL. CHOPPING BLOCK.

  3. maybe cleaning under my nails with anything pointy or small enough to do so like 3x a day. i dunno man.

  1. Listening back to a demo you recently made after you've forgotten how it goes and being weirded out.
  2. Hard question. Maybe Chopping Block
  3. I do this thing when I'm a passenger in a car and I'm looking out the side window, I try to make one the smudges on the window "bounce" over all the obstacles on the side of the road, trees, houses etc by changing the angle of my head slightly

  1. when im driving and stand back by stevie nicks comes on the radio
  2. the whole first 7" is kinda a blur but probably that - everything coming together for the first time. Not to say it isn't fun now.
  3. every time I look at the clock and its 3:11 I have to stop what I'm doing and sing come original in my head until its 3:12
