What was the highpoint of your year? Me and my wife are gonna have a baby. And were also celebrating our 5 year anniversary. So thats really exciting. But as far as the performance aspect of it, the high point is doing this tour with Stone Temple Pilots, one of my favorite bands ever. Ive actually got to go up and sing with [Scott Weiland] a few times, and that was pretty cool.

Whats the best music you heard this year? Coldplay, Dido, the Pete Yorn record - it's fucking awesome. If you like good music, you'll go buy that album. The Nikka Costa album is really good, and the Deftones Whtie Pony , and (hed) p.e And the new STP album, Shangri-la Dee Da. I can't believe people arent out there buying it. Im very disapointed in the music public. They have to show their respect.
