With Joan of Arc, I was kind of floating around the first few records. I mostly played drums and sometimes was on the guitar. I wrote a few songs on the first couple of records, but I was at college so I was in and out and kind of a part-time member. I would do some of the tours, but most of the time, I'd be at school. This song, "Perfect Need and Perfect Completion," was off "So Much For Staying Alive and Lovelessness." With this one, I was kind of out of the band for a while, and then Tim said he was going into the studio. He just had a bunch of really loose sort of sketches. I played drums and bass on half of this album, where I'm attached to this album more than the other stuff.
