Nap Time
Great Angel recording FreAk!!! You Rock! Really very impressive. BTW: There is a new Loop Link for the jam...
A random few:
1. Any thoughts on doing another solo album after the new band releases some stuff?
Absolutely! I'd like to do an acoustic album with some electronic overdubs. Stripped and raw, kind of how TNO started out.
2. And in the song REXALL you say "never want another wife"... I was wondering if you were saying that because of your last wife and did that apply when you met Carmen?
Well, it wasn't about my last wife it was about relationships in general. I don't know what I was thinking, I was just in a dark place. No, it does not apply to Carmen. I have since moved on from those times but I love having the documentation of them.
3. PS, could I possibly steal your videos and embed them into my site when I am through updating it?
It's all good.
4. But the amusing quote below the image made me wonder...Is that what you´d say TNO was all about like in a nut shell? I mean if you were asked about it today?
Ha! That was me just being a smart ass. Sometimes when you do a lot of press you get into a zone where you just try to keep yourself entertained, never realizing that people will actually read it. I think it's hilarious. Anyway, no, not really... but kind of? (J/K) The album is so much deeper to me, I think I was just bored when I said that. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I needed a good laugh!
5. Was that Foreigner T-shirt from Lo-Fi?
It was indeed.
6. Though the guys are all great musicians, it seems no one seems to go outside the LA circle. Do you find that aspect limiting as a musician?
No, because just about everybody here is a transplant from somewhere else.
7. Did Lou Reed ask you to have the clip: "A velvet underground song" before Venus in furs or was that someone else's idea?
That was a sample of Nico before she did a Velvet song live. I did however, get permission from Lou Reed himself to do the song. I had dinner with him years ago in New York and played it for him. He gave me the green light!
8. Don't take this as an offense, or anything. But did you see any, humm, movies with Carmen before you met her??
I saw a few. I have since seem them all. No offense taken.
9. When do you expect new album may be released? Like in December or later?
That all depends on how we decide to do this. We have been toying around with different ideas. Internet, label, full records, multiple annual EP releases... Music will for sure be shared regardless of the choices way before that...
10. I will put forward Frusciante for my opinion, a modern genius. That is in no way a dig at yourself Dave I think your talents equal each other from the opposite ends of the guitar spectrum. Have ya heard his solo stuff?
I love John and I have heard his stuff. He is really out there, a true artist.
