Into the slutty clouds

About Me


regarding the origins of
Everything Starts Where It Ends
A sad little creature woke up one morning and had some coffee.
His stomach hurt.
He hates it when his stomach hurts.
He threw up some eggs and ice cream that he had for breakfast and drove down to the rehearsal space.
It's in a decrepit part of town in some bricked back alley that not even the homeless care about… the creature loves it.
He gets inside and drinks some more coffee.. this time it's cold.
He throws up again.
He hates the cold coffee He says.
I hooked up a ten year old, piece of shit, radioshack mic into my guitar pedal board and another mic inside the old beat up Winter Co. piano and ran em both into a recorder for documentary purposes.
Cranked up some distortion and delay and reverb and flange on the vocal for kicks or until it sounded freaky enough to be not recognizable anymore and started tinkering around on the ivories when something came out that sounded kind of Danny Elfman, so I hit record and started singing some nonsense about being a cloud or a tree or the snow or whatever.
A half hour later I was hearing what became the title track to the new record…. it was called Everything Starts Where it Ends.
Something about the line intrigued me into thinking about how everything has a purpose but never seems to go anywhere.
And what really matters is the stuff that happens in between what we consider to be the beginning and the end.
And so it was born then…..
That happened in Dec. 05'
NOTABLE PRESS:
SPIN.COM - "…Everything Starts Where It Ends, has the grungy guitar brawn of bygone flannel rockers, but adds complexity with epic arrangements and moments of unsettling Thom Yorke falsetto"
ALTERNATIVE PRESS - "There's no shortage of massive and muscular moments here"
PASTE - Dark and lovely, as addictive as the band's name suggests"
FLAUNT - "Gloomily triumphant"
ROLLINGSTONE.COM - "Editor's pick"
OUT BURN - "The music and lyrics are symbiotic and successfully paint aural portraits of life, love, tragedy and joy with sincerity, consistently throughout the entire album."
BLENDER.COM - "Lovedrug combine smart lyrics with hearty rock & roll to create a record full of indiepop gems."
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY - "...somewhere between 70’s-style guitar-rock grandeur and pre-weird Radiohead lives this inebriated, quasi-hallucinatory tale."

Influences: I find the word influence to be a funny word. When people ask many bands in many different interviews what their "influences" are, I have found from reading alot of them that every band has a generally similar response. And it is that of suddenly being put on guard. Almost as if someone's about to leak a secret formula or code. Like a teacher is catching you with the ink dripping off of your sweaty palms after a tough history exam. The answer that they are looking for would much more easily be given if the question asked were this: What music did you listen to relentlessly as a teenager? Because, no matter who you are, the first music that makes you want to pick up an instrument and play, will be a thread that runs through you forever. An that, by the way, is a good thing. It keeps history alive. And it changes it a little... for the next generation.

Sometimes You gotta Let it All Out

I woke up this morning with a mild case of depression and general nausea. No, it was not alcohol induced. It was induced by God. That's right, God did this to me. He is fucking with me. I knew it. Fro...
