SO I HAVE A PILE OF FUCKS IN MY BASEMENT.

Why? Because I don’t give them.

And I certainly don’t give them to China in exchange for tea. Translation? I don’t gives no fucks about the price of no tea. Straight up.

Now that we’ve got that settled, I was at The Spot in Providence for the weekly Sully’s Cafe podcast this weekend.

Podcast! —-> http://sullyscafe.com/?p=3125#more-3125

I’m whoring myself out (HINT HINT!) to anyone brave enough to interview my rambling and/or aggressively bizarre ass. In this interview I cover a lot of material, from “Pay What You Can” style shows, to life as an indie artist, the “nerdcore” genre, working with many talented musicians for the TickleBomb Orchestra album. I also pull the veil away from the long-time e-love affair I’ve had with kHill from theThoughtCriminals. All in the name of being mad promosexual in the support ofWhatevermore: Live from the Raven album that is currently in presales and will drop on October 25th (DON’T FORGET THE CD RELEASE HALLOWEEN SHOW I’M DOING AT 97D WEBSTER ST IN WORCESTER :-D)

Saturday night I got together with Jon Gryckiewicz in Lowell for some hijinks, including listening to the most recent iteration of the TickleBomb Orchestra debut we’ve been working on. We’ve decided to change the name, and we’ve decided on a relative time frame for releasing it. It’ll be early next year, and I’ll start talking about that as the time comes. THERE IS AN UNRELEASED TBO SONG IN THIS PODCAST. I’m not making it the main focus, though, just to see who’s paying attention. ;)

There’s some funny quotables in the podcast too, especially if you know me and my long history playing music and meeting like-minded people.

“You don’t really sell any albums until you sleep on their couch.”

“Half of the performance notion is a fuckin’ sham. Like I’m gonna get up on stage probably 10 nights in a row and on the 9th night I’m gonna perform a song like it has that urgency that it had [the first time]. I’m gonna try and pretend that I’m making this up for the first time every time I perform…that’s essentially what you’re doing. Everybody knows it’s a fucking con. That’s not what’s happening. You’re not making it up right now but you’re going to try and like scream this out like it has the urgency that this is…RIGHT NOW…I just had NO CHOICE but to say this, it’s not like I’m getting paid a $25 guarantee and selling no merch to do it.” [on improvisation and mistakes in live albums]

“And he was probably all F’d in the B on H…” [on Nick Cave’s bass player]

“I’m a post-post office rapper” [on my legacy]
