About the album
Good old Diamond Days...my magnum opus, as it were. The album three years in the making (and only two weeks in the recording). Back in high school, a friend of mine and I were always talking about the music we were getting ready to record, saying things like, "Once this is out there, I can totally die happy." Later we would look back on these songs and laugh at how utterly not great they were. With Diamond Days, I can look back on the writing process, the time spent recording, the health issues that arose from stress, the ups, the downs, the places, the faces, and the literal blood, sweat, and tears that went into it, and I can truly say that I could die happy.
UPDATE 2010: Not yet. I can still do better...
Simpsons reference: The "conquer/concur" lyric in "Alone" is a nod to Carl's mispronunciation of "conquer" in his word-of-the-day calendar. (Homer vs. Dignity)
