Spin talks to Chris Conley (Saves the Day, Two Tongues)

Contributed by drewxfishy. Posted by aubin on Monday, March 30, 2009 at 11:02 AM (EDT)

Spin Magazine recently spoken with Saves The Day/Two Tongues guitarist/vocalist Chris Conley about his favorite book. Conley discusses "A Path With Heart" by Jack Kornfield. Conley said:

"This book has definitely made me more calm, and Saves the Day has always been overly dramatic to the point of being uncomfortable to listen to. And that was a reflection of how uncomfortable it was to be me in my skin. The more comfortable I get with myself, the more comforting the music will be. That doesn't mean I'm going to write music for meditation, but Saves the Day will probably have less of a grating edge since I don't feel so tangled up inside."

kornfield...ha

Preston (March 30, 2009)

sounds like a Korn tribute band.

danperrone (March 30, 2009)

this hardly qualifies as news.

baldsteve (March 30, 2009)

It's the reverse of news, it actually took away something I wanted to know.

hamonrye (March 30, 2009)

i think homie is pushing 30. I hope I won't feel this miserable until i'm his age.

hamonrye (March 30, 2009)

*when i am his age

baldsteve (March 30, 2009)

Fuck, I'm older than him and want to knock him down and pee on him.

hamonrye (March 30, 2009)

he wears diapers, doesn't he? I guess I would feel pretty shitty, too.

shrapnel (March 30, 2009)

especially when bemis changes them for him

hamonrye (March 30, 2009)

i think they're lovers.

Better news! Ghostbusters gameplay!

baldsteve (March 30, 2009)

If they could mix Fallout 3 with Ghostbusters, I'd never leave the house.

24HourPriapism (March 30, 2009)

haha, that's awesome.

remember a couple years ago when the first batch of gameplay footage surfaced, and they tried to update the ghostbusters by making them have like those big huge harness-mounted pulse rifles like in aliens? wtf.

JayTee (March 30, 2009)

Oye, that turned out to just be a fan-made demo kinda thing built off some other game engine. Still though, could they have gotten it more wrong?

baldsteve (March 30, 2009)

Fuck this news, lets talk about how awesome this artist is:

The Dukes of Hazard faux cave-painting were awesome too!

miniblindbandit (March 30, 2009)

baldsteve (March 30, 2009)

http://www.brandonbird.com/pax_cybertronia.html

this one is good too, if you like Transformers and Law & Order

miniblindbandit (March 30, 2009)

when i grow up, i want to be sam waterson.

baldsteve (March 30, 2009)

baldsteve (March 30, 2009)

My roommates and I have all this guy's paintings in our apartment. Pretty fun stuff. The "Repent"/Mt Rushmore one is in our dining room now, actually.

baldsteve (March 30, 2009)

tell me about Jaws... I'm nuts for that.

ExtraCheesePizza (March 30, 2009)

First is our Jaws, then links to the rest that we own that I saw on there.

ExtraCheesePizza (March 30, 2009)

Maybe I'm reading the wrong books, but I don't think there's any single one that could change my whole outlook on life. Maybe if I was going through a midlife crisis.

hamonrye (March 30, 2009)

conley has probably aged prematurely. he is more like 40 than 30. I think this guy is more down in the dumps than morrissey.

shrapnel (March 30, 2009)

The Hobbit changed my life, but I still haven't been able to attain the Ring of Power yet

Now you just have to find an active volcano.

miniblindbandit (March 30, 2009)

"Saves the Day has always been overly dramatic to the point of being uncomfortable to listen to."

shrapnel (March 30, 2009)

that's and understatement.

J4M35 (March 30, 2009)

sucks the dude peaked at like, 22.

revolt of the zombies is a good movie.
