I never received or took any photos for this interview so I stole this one from the wonders of google.
LM: So you’re working on an album with Ethan Johns, how is that going, being that it’s your debut?
ST: the record is going really well. Ethan is great, very inspired and soulful. he has added alot of dimension to the material through various instruments and he's a great player too so i not only have a great producer and engineer but a musician that can exercise his ideas. it is also being co-produced by the wonderful Luther Russell.
LM: “Something for you” is really a beautiful song. How did you and Brian Jonestown Massacre hookup, and is Anton really the lunatic he’s made out to be?
ST: i'm glad you like SOMETHING FOR YOU(SEER). it will be on my record. i have known Anton for a long time and he always really liked that song and asked if he could cover it for the EP. i sing it in DIG right before he kicks that poor guy in the head. is Anton a lunatic? hmmm, well, there is probably enough info out there on him now for anyone to answer that one. recently, i was with a group of people who were talking about him and one person said "Anton's a lunatic" and then someone else said " Anton's a dick" and then, in conclusion, someone said " Anton's a lunadick" so.... i dunno.
LM: If you could build a time machine that could only go back in time before the 20th century, where would you go, and who would you meet?
ST: if i could go back? uh, i wish i could go back and retrieve all the money i've spent on alcohol but before the 20th century, i guess maybe before there were people. perhaps, roaming the earth like a big peaceful platypus. just eating and walking. i'm lazy. i guess i would probably want to meet another nice and lazy herbivore or maybe a carnivore, if i was bored.
