I Am Not a Hipster Page #2

---

Yeah, that's new.

Where are you from?

I'm from rural Ohio.

You know Pretenders?

You a big Pretenders guy?

Nah, nah, I don't.

(Mumbling)

Ohio

No?

So, where you from in Ohio?

Uhh, west central Ohio,

little town called Houston.

"Houston"?

Yep.

Houston, like, Houston...

Is that Houston Street

or Houston Avenue

in New York, Ronnie?

Uhh, I just know Houston

in Texas.

Okay.

What was Houston, Ohio like?

Had a lot of craft fairs,

a lot of chilli cook-offs.

Oh yeah, a lot of those?

Yeah, you could probably go to

one every day if you wanted.

Yeah, I might do that.

I'm the kind of guy who, like,

if I eat something...

Like, let's say

I'm eating chicken...

I eat chicken every day

for, like, a month.

And then I don't eat anymore.

Like, I'm a streak eater.

You ever... What about you?

Umm, I've never heard of that.

You never heard of that?

No.

(Inaudible)

So, you... You come from

a big family, I hear.

Yeah. I've got three sisters:

Joy, Spring and Merrily.

Ha, those are...

Those are pretty cool names.

Yeah.

Who came up with those,

your mom or your dad?

It was definitely my mom.

Is your mom who you got

the creative genes from?

Uhh, she's pretty creative.

Yeah?

Yeah.

You got the creative side

from your mom.

What you get from your dad?

What do you mean?

I mean, like,

what your dad pass on to you?

He taught me how to say "F***".

Wow.

Uhh, Brook, you can't cuss.

I'm sorry. Sorry about that.

Believe me, I had to learn too.

So, umm, there's a lot

of buzz about you, uhh,

in the indie scene.

And there's so many musicians

I know

that would just kill

to trade places with you.

You mean they want to make no

money and be mildly successful

to a small group of people?

I like your humility.

But I mean, come on,

give yourself a break.

I think you've done

pretty well for yourself.

You've really generated

a cult following

over the last 12 months.

And I'm sure that cult following

is going to be

very happy to hear

that you are headlining a show

this Friday

at San Diego's Casbah.

Is that correct?

Yeah, that's what I hear.

Except to hear some

new material there?

Honestly, probably not.

But you been writing some new

stuff since the last album?

No, not really. It's just...

It just has been feeling

kind of pointless to me lately.

You mean the industry?

I mean everything,

making music, making art,

It all just seems

really stupid to me right now

for some reason.

How so?

I don't know. I just...

I have this neighbour

who's got this garden.

And she's, umm...

She's got all these sections.

She's got the carrots over here.

She's got cabbages over there.

She's got fruit trees

in the back.
