A bouncy-ball dispenser filled with little plastic eggs of the female singer-songwriters we all like like Edith Frost, Laura Veirs, Kimya Dawson, Joanna Newsom, the Blow, Madeline and Cat Power, and then other eggs of Justin Clifford Rhody, Smog, the Microphones, Matty Pop Chart, Vollmar, Beat Happening, and Aphid Ant Constructions. Buy all the eggs and squish 'em up then read some comic books.

You grow up listening to noisy bands and playing in noisy bands, and eventually you realize that there are some things you want to say that people need to understand right away without much strain. What do you do? You play guitar quieter and by yourself. Sing clearly. Show a slideshow. Put it all out there, man. Don't mess around.
