Half-broken guitars, rusty strings, hand me down amps and borrowed basses, pianos with dead keys (always in the middle of course), pirated software! and cheap pre-amps with USB ports, on the spot songs (improv makes for excitement), paper towels on bongos + bass boosters make for a neat drum sound, stolen kazoos, late nights or early mornings (sleep deprivation), notebooks and notebooks full of lyrics (I have 100's of songs), taped conversations, home videos turned sound effects, rusty tambourines (not to be confused with rusty trombones), computer savvy, old processors with limited ram and broken monitors that make your amp go "BUZZZZ!!!!!", everything from NES ZAP guns (intro of "A Diagram To The Stars") to oscillating fan blades ("Piano Dust") to Greg Dorris ("Such is the Fate of the Cynical"), tape recorders and penny whistles, lo-fi for lo-fi's sake (somebodies gotta stand up for the little people), Deoxyribonucleic acid, a fascination with space, relationships sheeeeesh, NES and guitar hero, hookahs and Jack Daniels and freaking Ouzo, Salvador Dali Bill Hicks T Rex, cross country trips and arrest records, nothing matters but making records.
"Josh Petty radiates a unique folk rock sound doused in whimsical tragedy as his curious perceptions unravel into songs which seem to reveal very personal observations about the world and its disillusioning tendencies. In this his songs are relatable and honest, just." - AeroPlainJane
