Probably the number one domestic activity I fantasize about when I’m on tour. There’s a groundedness to it that feels like the antithesis of road life. Cooking is often the first thing I do upon returning home.

Unlike chess, which can leave you at the mercy of a 45 minute defeat with only your insufficient brain power to blame, backgammon has a nice and light pace to it. Rolling dice feels good and you can put the blame on them in hindsight. I think board games like that are a great way to sit and spend time with people and be in each other's presence.

I’ve had a resurgence this year listening to a lot of d-beat and crust punk, like I did as a young teen. Gloom from Japan is incredible, the 10 minute demo is raw, blown out excellence.

The moment I saw Noah Kanber’s ceramic rendition of Mona Lisa, something clicked and I knew no one but her could do the cover for my new record “Heavy Glory”. Thank God she agreed.

There’s something quite surreal about standing there exchanging blows, kicks, knees and elbows with an utterly complete stranger on a random weekday evening. I’ve found muay thai useful for keeping my mind in check, even though it sometimes makes your body feel like it's been in a minor car crash.

One of the albums that I’ve listened to the most. I remember many years ago being on acid watching the sun rise from my window and listening to Scott 3 feeling like I was riding through every emotion on the record to the furthest possible extremes, it was overwhelming and magnificent. When it was over I looked at myself in the mirror and saw I had become an old man.

I like reading plays while traveling, the words don't crowd the page which is nice for reading in hectic places. This one is about two lovers kept apart by their families, because the guy savagely beat the girl into a permanent state of brain damage, yet it becomes apparent that they’re still in love. It's a difficult story, I think I have an affinity for those.

The old study halls of Ervin Szabo library are hidden away on the fourth floor of what first seems like a fairly standard public library. The rooms are staggeringly beautiful and one of the best places I’ve come across for writing / reading / sitting in the quiet.
