As far as a loose concept, it's about one person going through life and what they're experiencing. Humor belongs in there, and a lot of it is rather bleak, but I think optimistic in the long run. To be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect when I played the record. I knew you from the Highway Matrons, but I think a lot of people my age — I'm 27 — know you from the Music Lounge and know you from seeing you around, but don't know you as a musician.
Undoubtedly, there's gonna be some people thinking it's a record of all spoons songs. I played spoons on one track because I put myself in the listener's seat. There's no way I could go through 40 minutes of somebody playing spoons and playing their lungs out. But I wanted that element in there on something. And I was happy to get a broad cross-section of talent from all across and around St. There's at least seventeen or eighteen other people on the record. Looking at the liner notes and seeing everybody who's on it, the album seems like a good representation of St.
Louis talent. I knew who I wanted to add particular items to the songs — who was good at what. And I decided I was gonna put a record out and call in all the favors and see if these people can help me out.
And everyone I got in touch with was able to make a showing and contribute to the record. There were even people that couldn't make it, so I had plenty to choose from — all associations I had working at the club and booking the entertainment. There's a lot of things I miss, and there's a lot of things I don't miss. Basically, if I have a cigarette in one hand and a beer in the other, I'm happy. The live music, the intimate space — we had a good five-year run.
We quit when we were behind, and the timing was right. It took up a major portion of my life — I had very little privacy. I was dedicated to making that work, and it was time for me to take a break.
Sometimes, it meant me waiting in line to get into my own bathroom. People stepping over people sleeping on the floor, devoting my life to catering to that atmosphere to make sure that was successful. It wears you out after a while. It's a re-creation of sorts, but it's not going to be a duplication — that would be unsuccessful. Frederick's Music Lounge was then and there, this is something new, but I do miss having the intimate atmosphere to listen to live music in a small space, and a place that has cheap beer.
Looking out for the artist and the customer — something where it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to get in, and the focus is on the music. Not necessarily. It was a piece of work I wanted and needed to create at that point in time. Whether it leads to something else is beside the point. It's what I did over my summer vacation, and that is that — the record is done. There will be live presentations, but very loosely, because this was not a particular band, this was me rounding up the people I needed to get this project going.

Oh, what a tangled website we weave, when at first we practice to deceive. That's what one of those crusty writer guys said, right? Back in Hollywood, but equally as stealth—and to far more sexy results—would be an Oscar-nominated star's party behavior.
Want to hear what Freddie Friction picked up along with his cocktail? And it's weird on so many levels: Just like Harriet, who tells the world constantly mostly in women's magazines how down-to-earth and shy and humble she is, Freddie's been busy spinning a similar ersatz media presence.
