9. HOW DID YOU FIRST DISCOVER CAPTAIN BEEFHEART & THE MAGIC BAND,
AND WAS THERE A PARTICULAR SONG THAT MADE YOU SEE THE LIGHT?:
I am a gigantic fan of Frank Black, an artist who has worked on several occasions with Eric Drew Feldman and Jeff Morris Tepper. While reading music press on Frank's records, I came across the knowledge of these two individual's involvement with Captain Beefheart. So then, I started downloading numerous MP3s, which eventually led to a dedicated sense of album purchase. The one song that really kicked me in the ass was "Dirty Blue Gene" (DATRS version) as well as "Moonlight on Vermont."

13. MUSICAL ABILITY / TRAINING: .
I can hammer out quite some dramatic beats with my Japanese Knife Collection. However, I can play the guitar, piano, and clarinet as well. I compose and record songs in my basement under the clever pseudonym "Eric Mayer." I used to be in a band, but they really sucked the big one, so I quit. I'm trying to get something together now, in a vein of "oddness."
 

14. ANY OTHER INFO YOU WISH TO ADD?
"You can nail a screw, but you can't screw a nail."
- Eric Mayer
If there's any musician who lives near me and is interested in purveying "mad grooves," get in contact with my emaildentist at atomicage@earthlink.net. I'm just about 17 years old, but I don't really care how old you are, just as long as you know what you're doing - and you know when to NOT know what your doing, as well.
