Six bad habits you can’t escape:
Buying lunch, buying dinner, going out for breakfast/brunch, checking my email every five minutes, googling the hell out of myself, trying to predict how someone will finish a…sentence.
Five people who inspire you: J. Walker, President Josiah Bartlet, Kevin Rudd’s early stuff, George Martin, M. Ward.

Three goals for your music: That everyone hears our music, that everyone loves our music,
that everyone buys/steals our music. After that, if anyone else likes it, it’s a bonus!
Two live gigs you’ll never forget and why: Tim Rogers and The Twin Set at The Hallam Hotel, an amazing gig with an awesome band featuring a barely legal, Davey Lane on guitar and Jen Anderson of violin. The place was packed, we were right up the front and we could see the shoes. Feist at the Prince of Wales. Not only is she an amazing singer and writer, but she tore the roof off with her guitar playing on Sea Lion.
