(Cord Magazine's questions are in blue. Artist responses are in grey.)


What do you like to do in your down time?

Bowling, I like to walk, nothing more that sitting down and writing or reading. Nothing real exciting, sorry.

What's your vice of choice(s)?

Drinking, cigarettes, and kissing and huggin'.

What's your favorite city and venue to play in?

The Fillmore in San Francisco.

With all the things going on in the world, what's the one thing that's scares you the most?

Bush, there is nothing really else is there?

What's the one interview question you hope no one ever asks you again?

So where'd you come up with the name? Or how did it all start? Those are the lamest questions in the world.

What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon?

I used to love Hong Kong Fu or Top Cat.

What did you want to be when you were growing up? (forgot to ask this one, nice huh?)

If you could trade places with anyone in the world for a day who would it be?

There isn't anyone. Imagine what a head fuck that would be? Well maybe a monk for a day, see what that's like, to be someone who is found and not lost at all.

If you could ask me one question what would it be?

You come to a crossroads and you're trying to find Rome and you don't know which direction it is. There is two sage's standing at the fork in the road. The good sage always tells the truth, the other always tells a lie. You're only allowed one question between the two of them. How do you find Rome? Steve Albini asked us this question and left us with it for a week.

Bear vs. Shark?

The rock, it will endure.
