I wrote that song about a certain guitar player who fucked me over (for those who know me closely – no, not that one).

I played it with a certain bass player who said both me and the song were amazing and then fucked me over.

Then I recorded several versions of it with another guitar player who asked me to marry him and then…yes, he fucked me over! [...]

A mellow New York evening, Lou Reed and me

Posted on 01 July 2010

I am in a mellow mood. It is shameful that I am enjoying my own recording of Lou Reed’s “Perfect Day”?

Fame, fortune, swords and advertising

Posted on 22 May 2010

I am currently working on two things. One is fame and fortune, and the other one is saving the world. Those two just don’t seem to come to any sort of agreement. Let me explain. [...]

Great. Now that I am done with my little introspection routine, I can go have a glass of wine and listen to my own songs.

Why? Because I received yet another piece of fan mail that claims that my songs are an excellent mood booster. Whatever they have been smoking, works great for me!

That stupid bass player I dated, I ended up writing a song about him. Don’t judge.

Running around with a knife and scaring men

DON’T EVER UNDERESTIMATE A SCHOOL GIRL!

I was coming home late, was a bit scared and as I entered the lobby, I whaled and spoke in tongues, in case there was a rapist waiting in the dark. [...]

Banter, charts and happy new year (newsletter)

Posted on 05 January 2010

Happy New Year!!!!! Hope it’s working out nicely so far. A couple of weeks ago I wrote a poem. The poem was about the impossibility of describing the sensation of beauty and perfection precisely. Before posting it, I re-read it one last time and realized that it sounded like an intricate allusion to a vibrator. I laughed, [...]

And this one is actually going onto the new album, it is one of my favorites.

Posted on 20 May 2009

Before the music was stolen,
Before it was tied to bed
By a nurse with a china head
Whose lips were bleeding with honey -

Before her throbbing composure
Was kindly helped to its knees
And even allowed to please
The Master Decapitatress
