Bio replaced by FAQ - still three letters and closer to a curse word.
Q: Why do you make music?
A: Because it's religion to me, if I don't my life can be like a pitchfork in the ass.
Q: Who is your favorite songwriter?
A: At this moment it happens to be Geoff Berner, the accordion-playing klezmir punk from East Van. You would like him.
Q: Favorite album?
A: My cassette tape for AC/DC's Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap has all the print worn off and is bent from sitting in the sun on several dashboards, so it qualifies for most loved.
Q: Who will win the war on drugs?
A: Shoppers.
Q: What is this world coming to?
A: The same place it started.
Q: Do you have any advice for young musicians who are making their own sandwiches?
A: Spread the condiments all the way to the edge of the bread, and careful with the toaster - too crispy and the roof of your mouth will feel like you've been tongue wrestling with capn' crunch.
Q: How many Deadheads does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: Why change it man, when you can follow it around for 25 years and watch it burn out?
Ohmygoodnessgracious---was that "Scar That Never Heals" on a Volkswagon commercial? Congrats!
I was watching TV and I started freaking out when I heard it...
I still plan on using that song in some sort of artsy-fartsy indie movie someday, so keep your eye out! Thanks for a fantastic tour; can I give you a mailing address to send the SFMOMA card to?

I went to the house of blues last night to see O.A.R and saw you play and now you have a big fan in me. I love your music and you put on a great show. I bought your cd and I don't see me taking it out of my cd player in my car for quit a while. I will keep my eyes open to see when you come back to southern cali again. Again great show!
i had the most pleasant surprise last night! i was dragged to an o.a.r. show by my pals and i had no clue YOU were opening. so i finally decided to get around to buying your album since i've been hooked to the track that was on my paste cd sampler for so long. but alas, the atm was out of order.
anyhow, great show last night. it was such a nice surprise.
