I was told that I'd have to be a lot more obscure, which I would be, but I had to make something people could relate to quickly. You could say the tape is more representative of my live set, 'cause when you play live, anything can happen. I'd really like to write songs about the letter Q and stuff like that. Being from the square, traditional Chinese family that I am, my parents wouldn't let me get into music or go to art school. They wanted me to get into something that would lead to a real job so we finally agreed on education as something they could accept.
Education is also a great way to inherit vinyl because all the schools are switching to CDs.
There's always been a joke with the band that we'd do an unplugged set someday, so I'm ready to crank it up. You can't really do scratching though, 'cause you'll break the string, but you can sort of lift the needle and drop it. Printer-friendly version Top.
