"Radio
is not there to sell music. They're
there to sell advertising and they
just want stuff that is kind of in
the middle, blasé, kind of,
it seems like, so they can sell their
ads.
-
"For
one thing, we weren't stoned like we used to
always be. Jim at one point wanted to call the
record 'Without Pot'."
-
"It's
really like dating because it's so intense and
so intimate it's everything but sex, but actually
fucking. It's getting into each other's heads
and into each other's hearts and creating. "
-
"So
I think you should always try and get a fan
base together, and make sure you can function
independently of the labels, because I think
the times are coming when it's going to be harder
and harder to get a record deal."
-
"A
long time ago I had to ask myself the question
of "what am I doing this for?" I had
to come to the point where I realized that I
was doing this absolutely for love and that
if I was doing it for any other reasons, for
attention, or for affirmation, or any of those
things, a long time ago that stuff got burned
away."
-
"
It's good that it's still looming 'cause it
gives me an excuse to go out with them. I'll
be looking forward to that. "
-
"It's
something I could have easily failed at. Thank
god I didn't, I found out that I could do it."
-
"I
will be 80 years old one day and I'll still
be a total freak, but I'm not going to be wondering
what might have been."
-
"
Usually a tune'll pop in my head, or sometimes
the subject matter, and then it just basically
builds itself from there."

Speer
Jillian
Speer was nearly on tour with Jewel this year. Listening
to her demo it is easy to understand why. Speer could give
the headliner serious competition. Her song "Angel
Among Us" is forceful and shoves all other thoughts
from the listener's mind. The rest of this 4 song demo begs
for a full album and the label salivating for it. For more
information visit www.jillianspeer.com
