Watch Out For Rockets



Some of my favorite quotes from my interview with Dave T. Jones and John Tehaar of Watch Out For Rockets.


"I used to want to get eaten by a bear; that's how I wanted to die."

"If a horse could kill Superman...fuck." (Dave has had a fear of horses since a close friend was a severely injured in an equine-related accident. Consequently, he was practically traumatized by The Ring).

"I find shit to be more endearing than something that's fake and contrived."

Best of Incubus

My obsession with Incubus (fueled in part by Brandon Boyd's beauty mark and tendency to disrobe during performances), during my high school and undergrad years has tapered off due to my disappointment over their last two offerings. However, the video for Black Heart Inertia, with its many closeups of Boyd's perfect imperfection, may revive my it.




Is it wrong to watch a music video on mute?

311 Drumline--Two more weeks until I see it live!



"It’s not pleasant to learn something at the very beginning. It involves a lot of muscle memory so we have to practice a lot but we’re better at it now than we ever have been."
--Chad Sexton on learning the drum combo
