IATI Mission Statement 2011
For years much like a poor and dusty kid outside a diner in winter, nose pressed against the glass, I’ve viewed the music industry from the outside. Over the past few years I’ve had my foot in the door (and had said door closed on it) of the business of entertainment. I’ve witnessed an industry that is still so painfully out of touch in the age of social media and unabashed in its...

RED STATE, U.S.A. Tour
// ]]]]>]]> The Harvey Boys have witnessed first hand the vagaries of “studio math” - the byzantine numbers game that sees an uneducated media and public celebrating “huge” openings at the box office while ignoring the obscene marketing costs attached to reach those figures. We believe it’s a pyrrhic victory to simply “buy” an...

My fear of death and inability to form a cohesive...
Life proves to be as unpredictable as always with every passing year, the only constant is its ability to surprise me. I’ve learned that any attempt to struggle against is an exercise in the futile and absurd. It has occurred to me recently that a transformation of the way I view this existence is needed if I’m going to make the most of it. The biggest obstacle I have to overcome is the one...

"we need to get back to the time machine!"
I just had the most vivid and strange dream. I won’t go into details because it was very long and complicated but I feel I need to share one bit of it. There was a girl, she was beautiful and she told me she loved me. I woke up soon after. I realized it’s been so long since a girl has told me that in a romantic sense that I almost forgot what it was like. I wish I could make her real...

There are no monsters under your bed.
I think we can agree that we all share one sphere of reality that we try to represent in our thoughts. That being said, I’m finding it difficult to reconcile intelligent people who continue to believe in superstitious and dogmatic bullshit. Thinking about religion and the absurd and fallacious reasons given in the name of it, I don’t understand how one can defend it anymore. We see...
The bottom.
I feel the need to preface this with an explanation of sorts. I assume that most of you who read this know me well. Then there are those of you who know me on the surface, and those who don’t know me at all. I am not one of the sons and daughters of the privileged elite. I didn’t go to prep school; I don’t understand lacrosse and I’ve never even been on a yacht. My...
Until you show me a unicorn...
It seems to me that the notion that belief grows deeper over time or that some sort of transcendence in a religious sense can be reached over time is facile. What I’m finding as I get older is that more and more of the people I know are coming to the reasonable conclusion that there is no god. My generation is seeing first hand the consequences of fanatical religious beliefs and...
Columbine ruined Marilyn Manson.
I recently watched the new Marilyn Manson video for “Running To The Edge Of The World.” and it gave me pause. No, not the fact that it’s a mock snuff film, but the fact that I feel the man is genuinely in pain. We live in a world that’s becoming more and more connected everyday and now any asshole on the street can voice his or her opinion. I’ve been a fan of Marilyn...

State of intellectual emergency.
It’s often times difficult to have an intellectual conversation about atheism without my argument being dismissed as merely seditious or even elitist. Unfortunately we live in a world where it is still taboo to explicitly challenge a persons religious beliefs. I believe the dangerous absurdities perpetuated by organized religion need to be challenged if we are to survive as a species....
Turn the page.
I’ve lost so much of myself and who I was that I don’t recognize old photographs of myself. Last week it felt like I came full circle, it felt like completion. It started with me leaving the deserts of west Texas and it ended in the desert two hours outside Los Angeles. I feel like I delivered on my promise to myself of creating art and recording music that was honest. As I prepare to head to the...

I dreamt of an extraterrestrial being who came to me and explained the mysteries of the universe. He told me they were coming to free us and we could explore space together in peace. I dreamt that fundamentalist Christians found us, believed he was the Antichrist and fucking killed him. And hopelessness reigned…

untitled new song. 07/21/09
every time i’m lost i find myself coming back to you. i know this seems like a strange thing to say to someone but it’s true. somehow it’s always been worth the pain. i can’t make you see who i am. yours is the only face i see. you’re my home. you’re the only grace i’ve known. you’re my hope. you’re the only love i’ve ever known. ...

lo! you stinking masses, the new messiah.
i believe there is an audience beyond the influence of the fake plastic idiocy of mainstream music. will i be able to reach them and have some sort of success? that is yet to be determined but i can tell you that my idea of success has changed over the years.
there has been a sonic shift in my music but more importantly there has been a shift in the message. it’s become focused and clear...
we need proof of existence.
we are here for such a short time one might wonder if anything we do matters. why is it that we let fear drive us more often than not? i’ll throw you an example of fear taking the wheel. let’s say you meet someone of the opposite sex and you don’t give in to your primal desire for sex for fear of being labeled a whore. let me first say that our puritanical society has real...
