LOVE SEASONAL:

your most cringeworthy sexual experience

My high school sweetheart was just that, a sweetheart. Clumsy, natural, just the most beautiful girl in the world. You couldn't not love her. Savannah was saving herself for marriage, but after two years of being together... I kinda told her that I needed her to put out if I was gonna be faithful. A man's got needs. Anyway, she agreed, but wanted it to be perfect. I came round her's after school one weekend her parents were out - they long trusted us by this point - and she'd lit candles, was wearing the only matching set of underwear she owned. She was perfect. Unfortunately she was also as awkward as it gets, and after making a few bad jokes and kissing for a while she burst into tears, got up and managed to knock a candle over, setting her bedsheets on fire. Safe to say I never did get laid.

the most desperate thing you've done for love

Left that high school beauty. I fell for the lights and noise of New York, shoulda known what I had back home.

one love or many loves?

One.

an occasion where you've given/received flowers one love or many loves?

I got my cousin's girlfriend flowers the day after he was executed. It was the best I could do.

A LOT IS MADE OF YOUR PARENTS. DO YOU THINK IT'S FAIR THAT YOU'RE ACCUSED OF COASTING ON THEIR REPUTATION? I MEAN, I DON'T THINK I'M EXAGGERATING WHEN I SAY YOU COULD PROBABLY SEE THEIR CAREERS FROM SPACE.

   Hah, no, you're not. And no I don't. If my pa was a famous 'baller, my brother Landon'd get it in the neck all the time with those accusations - and they'd be right. Having musical parents meant that as soon as I showed an interest, they bought me a guitar, they sat with me and taught me to play. They helped me train my vocal chords. Could they have made something of me if I couldn't sing worth a damn? No, but they helped. Sure, they helped. I could have been born into some family that said playing guitar was for layabouts, or who made me do my math homework instead of writing music. But I wasn't, and I'm grateful for that, sure.


WOULD YOU SAY THAT THEY INSPIRE YOU MUSICALLY?

  My parents have done what they do for over thirty-five years now, and that astounds me. Thirty-five years. I think after making that much music together they probably found having kids underwhelming - there's no doubt that their music will outlive us. Every day people tell me that their music changed someone's life, and that's some hell of an inspiration to me. But musically we're not all that similar.


WHAT DOES INSPIRE YOU?

  To sing someone's song with a guitar? To be honest with ya, not a whole lot. If I like the song, I'll cover it. If I don't like it I'll probably still have to cover it.


I'D LOSE MY JOB IF I DIDN'T MENTION PIXIE.

  I hope your job depends on just mentioning her, 'cause you're not gonna much else outta me on that one.


IT MUST HAVE BEEN A HARD REMINDER OF THE PITFALLS OF FAME.

  More like a hard reminder of what bitches women can be. Ah fuck, there you go, you got me to say something that'll get me in trouble! I hope you get a good bonus. Next drink's on you.


EVERY DRINK HAS BEEN ON ME.

  Believe it or not, I don't get expenses. Can you believe that?


FAME IS A CRUEL MISTRESS.

  Yeah, figures Fame's a woman. You wanted me to talk about Pixie, right? I'm not even fucking callin' her that, her name's Gianna. Gianna is like something out of mythology, those Greek stories my ma told me growing up. She's beautiful, she says everything you wanna hear and her voice is just so honeyed - but under that there's nothing. Nothing. Just this darkness, this vacuum that'll suck anything good into it, absorb it into darkness. There's not a lot Gianna Santos wouldn't suck.
