What's your favourite 7"?</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">ronnie :</span> there are so many to choose from! hrrrm. how do you pick JUST one? of course i'm proud of my 60's soul, jam/style council/weller, elvis costello, smiths, my bloody valentine & jesus and mary chain singles. though recently i'm quite fond of my <span style="font-weight: bold;">aberdeen</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">"fireworks,"</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">the chamber strings</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">"make it through the summer"</span> &<span style="font-weight: bold;"> rocketship</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">"hey hey girl"</span> vinyls.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">02. Best song you think you've written?</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">ronnie :</span> best? that's a matter of opinion, isn't it? it changes from day to day for me. i'm proud of ALL of the songs that we've written. but the songs that have been lodged in my brain as of late : <span style="font-style: italic;">"moving targets [eventually get hit],"</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">"the games we play"</span> & a new song that i'm working on called <span style="font-style: italic;">"[winter, spring, summer] all fall down." </span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">03. Best song you think someone else has written?</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">ronnie : </span>another near impossible question to answer. ha. i'm sure i'll change my mind by the time this reaches press, but i'll give it a go. right now it's between <span style="font-style: italic;">"there is a light that never goes out"</span> [morrissey/marr] & <span style="font-style: italic;">"god only knows"</span> [wilson/asher]. i'm quite taken with <span style="font-style: italic;">"it's no wonder" </span>[junior] & <span style="font-style: italic;">"toy tambourine"</span> [arzy/girgus] as well. i wish that i'd written those songs. again, those are just off the top of my head. there are so many brilliant songs out there that it's difficult to pin down a <span style="font-style: italic;">definite</span> answer.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">04. Describe what you'd want someone to think of when they hear your band.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">ronnie : </span>fireworks & crashing waves. being in the middle of a rainstorm on a sunny day. j/k. seriously though, we obviously have our preconceptions about what our songs mean to us. we try to make them accessible to everyone--in terms of music & lyrics--so anyone can relate to them. we just want people to enjoy what we do.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">05. Favourite show you've played?</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">ronnie :</span> unfortunately, we're still a studio project, so no shows yet. the most important thing right now is to continue to write songs/record/release them. we'll work our way up to live shows. we promise. :)<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">06. Biggest [non-musical] influence on your band?</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">ronnie :</span> the <span style="font-style: italic;">nouvelle vague</span> [french new wave film]. jean-luc godard, in particular. what a visionary he was! i'm also a huge fan of chris marker. brilliant films, that man. mod fashion, pop art & coffee also top the list. under the influence of caffeine? you bet your knickers, i am! hehe.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">07. [5] Five favourite things off the top of your head?</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">ronnie :</span> since people/animals are not things, i suppose that i can't list them. [though it goes without saying that taylor, my family, my pets & my friends would occupy the top [4] four spots, easily] so favourite <span style="font-style: italic;">things</span>, eh? [in no particular order]<br />[1] my home movies/photographs/artwork. [2] my acoustic guitar which i've had since since high school. [3] my records/cds. [4] my celebrity guitar pick collection--which consists of a pick used by <span style="font-weight: bold;">paul weller</span> on his "illumination" tour & another used by <span style="font-weight: bold;">kelly riles of velocity girl</span> during their last ever show--acquired from each show, respectively. [5] my childhood books. ahhh, memories.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">08. What's the best story you have, music-related or not?</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">ronnie : </span>let's see what i have in my bag of tricks. [a] i met winona ryder when she was walking out of a bookstore café the same night that i saw allen ginsberg do a poetry reading in baltimore, MD. [b] i got caught in a tug-of-war over morrissey's prada shirt when he played the morocco shrine center in jacksonville, FL. [c] paul weller gave me the nod when he heard me singing the backing vocals for <span style="font-style: italic;">"long hot summer"</span> at the top of my lungs at the 9:30 club in washington, DC. [d] kelly riles from velocity girl borrowed my guitar pick at the last velocity girl show. *see the previous question for more details* [e] kevin barnes of of montreal dedicated & played a zombies cover [can't remember which song] for my then band [the impact!] when we opened for them at room 1026, pensacola, FL. [f] i met taylor. then we started the jealous sea. :) take your pick.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">09. Has anyone ever made a crush mixtape for you?</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">ronnie :</span> i'm usually the mixtape/cd maker--rather than recipient. they're not as easy to make as one might think. there are rules to follow, y'know? i guess i should say mixtapes/cds are easy to make. GOOD ones are not. in fact, i recently made one for taylor. it's been the soundtrack to her first few weeks in san francisco. speaking of which, it's time that i made her another one...<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">10. Anything else?</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">ronnie :</span> if you haven't already heard us, stop by <a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.thejealoussea.com/">www.thejealoussea.com</a><span style="font-style: italic;">. </span> it'll link you to our myspace & blogger pages as well. we're eternally grateful for being a part of this close-knit scene/family. everyone is so supportive of each other, which is refreshing. let's keep it that way people! we all want the same thing, so <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">DON'T STOP THE INDIE POP!</span><br /></div></div>the JEALOUS seahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04403389187881793814noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095350920642993278.post-26453577995511433002009-01-12T17:41:00.019-06:002009-08-04T01:36:47.631-05:00going...going...GONE!<div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tTvG5A7kkHU/SWvVYlxy29I/AAAAAAAAAH0/cQG6nsjQKlc/s1600-h/3189731638_4cc50b43df_b.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tTvG5A7kkHU/SWvVYlxy29I/AAAAAAAAAH0/cQG6nsjQKlc/s320/3189731638_4cc50b43df_b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290556805711322066" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: left;">so what exciting things does the first month of the new year hold in store? thusfar :<br /><br /><b>[1] one.</b> we have a <b>free</b> download for our loyal fanbase! an abandoned recording session from last summer yielded this version of <i><b><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?n0ql1yzxyz1">"the games we play."</a></b></i> we are currently re-recording it for future release. <i>[<a href="http://thejealoussea.blogspot.com/2008/08/on-hold.html">we had shelved this incarnation for reasons we'd discussed earlier</a>, but we thought that <b>YOU</b> should enjoy it in the interim! ]</i><br /><br /><b>[2] two.</b> <i>claude</i> <span style="font-style: italic;">c.</span> from <i><b><a href="http://www.myspace.com/popsongromance">pop song romance</a></b></i> is preparing to release his very [1st] first music compilation entitled<b><i> "all the girls i've ever loved"</i></b> [24 january 2009]. it'll be available for pre-order on his page/website in the next week--complete with a <i>paypal</i> link if you'd like to order a copy.
