Endoxi Is All About the Journey

Outtakes: ANY FEARS OR PHOBIAS? Wilson: “All sea creatures, of all shapes and sizes. Basically, anything that moves in or lives in water.” Cardillo: “I hate being barefoot near broken glass.” Wally: “I’m incredibly scared of getting my hands mangled or maimed in any way. That's why I stay away from manual labor.” Caskitt: “I’m absolutely petrified of spiders.” WORST TV COMMERCIAL? Cardillo: “That one infomercial with guy using that dumbell that springs back and forth so it looks like he’s masturbating. It’s disturbing.” Wally: “Those pet population commercials, with shots of very sad cats and dogs in the pound and Sarah McLachlan playing in the background.” Caskitt: “Any commercial during election time.” WHO SHOULD PLAY YOU IN A MOVIE? Wilson: “Me.” Cardillo: “Al Pacino would be rad.” Wally: “Jack Black.” Caskitt: “Flo, the Progressive Insurance girl.” EVER BEEN A CRIME VICTIM? Wilson: “Being promised two hundred dollars from [a bar] in Oceanside, and only getting forty dollars, that’s a crime. Getting hit in the face with a skateboard was better than that!” Caskitt: “Identity theft a few years ago. Word of advice; shred everything.” IF YOU COULD CHOOSE YOUR NICKNAME? Wilson: “Q-Zar.” Cardillo: “J.J. Cards.” Wally: “Sir Richard Pumpaloaf.” Caskitt: “Pookie Poodle Muffin Butt.” BEST WAY TO DIE? Wilson: “In a field of brownies and ice cream, while Sam Cooke sings the sun to sleep.” Cardillo: “I would steal a plane, fly around for awhile, cause a ruckus, and skydive without a parachute.” Wally: “In my sleep.” Caskitt: “Ironically. For example, being the CEO of the Segway company, and then falling off a cliff while riding one.” BIG QUESTION YOU WANT THE ANSWER TO? Wilson: “What’s really up with Area 51?” Cardillo: “Which charity would you like to donate your next million dollars to, Joe?” Wally: “Which religion got it right?” Caskitt: “Who’s on first?” FIRST JOKE YOU REMEMBER? Cardillo: “Why was six afraid of seven? Because seven eight nine.” Wally: “If you’re American before you go in the bathroom, and you’re American when you get out, then what are you while you’re in the bathroom? European!” Caskitt: “Who farted?”

XIV at the W

Outtakes: EVER BEEN INJURED ON STAGE? Nathan: “Once, there was a bad grounding issue on my microphone, so I got several small shocks from getting too close.” Tony: “I’ve almost fallen off stage a few times.” Kelly: “If you didn’t notice, then I ain’t sayin’.” LAST TIME YOU GOT YELLED AT? Nathan: “It was probably by a passing driver, for unloading show gear in front of a venue downtown.” Kelly: “By the neighbors, for bringing home the bar and singing Spanish standards at the top of our lungs at five a.m.” WHAT SONG BEST DESCRIBES YOUR LIFE? Nathan: “Jefferson Airplane, ‘White Rabbit.’ No drug reference; my life is just that weird.” Kelly: Beirut, ‘Elephant Gun.’ ‘If I was young, I’d flee this town, bury my dreams underground/As did I, we drink to die, we drink tonight/Let the season begin, take the big king down.” FEARS OR PHOBIAS? Tony: “Spiders!” Kelly: “Forgetting the lyrics.” IF YOU COULD CHOOSE YOUR OWN NICKNAME? Nathan: “Frater Perdurabo.” Tony: “Rico Savage.” Kelly: “Squish-Squish LaAmour.” THREE THINGS WE DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU? Nathan: 1. “I’m addicted to sushi.” 2. “I share a birthday with Michael Hutchence.” 3. “I have a Bachelor’s Degree in chemical engineering.” Tony: 1. “I like cats more than dogs.” 2. “I’ve never had a cup of coffee.” 3. “My favorite after-gig food is Jack in the Box Breakfast Jacks, which I can finish in two bites.” Kelly: 1. “I’m Nathan’s sushi dealer.” 2. “I can make anything you have in your kitchen taste good.” 3. “I want to be a yoga teacher someday, so I can have a job where I don’t have to wear shoes.”

Roy Ruiz Clayton vs. Leonard Cohen

Outtakes: EVER BEEN INJURED ONSTAGE? “Not physically.” PHRASE YOU NEVER WANT TO HEAR AGAIN? “The new deal.” VIDEO GAME JONES? “Low level Pong, because I like the challenge.” ANY FEARS OR PHOBIAS? “Yes, I have fourteen of them, but writing them down for the public to see is number eight.” MOST AWESOME GIG? “My best gig was as a drummer in the fourth grade, for the band Albert and the Exterminators. Everyone else in the group was in the sixth grade. On Fridays, we got to go around to the other classes and play. Once, we played for the high school. My teacher was a beatnik who picked me to do a lot of stuff, and what she told me about painting is a profound secret that I still use today.”

Reinventing Nautical Disaster

Feel free to submit suggested revisions for any Local Music Database page featuring any band you perform with - below are the urls enabling you to do so. In the event any links malfunction, feel free to hit my "contact" button, or reach me at [email protected], and I'll send you the urls directly. To add or change text, photos, album info and graphics, etc, go to http://www.sandiegoreader.com/band/edit Event listings would go to http://www.sandiegoreader.com/submit_clubdj If you want to add MP3s, as seen on the Pony Death Ride page (highly recommended, for maximum exposure), please go to http://www.sandiegoreader.com/mp3/upload If you’d like to receive and participate in the Reader’s weekly local music newsletter, just click the link to do so at the bottom of your profile page. The most direct route TO your profile page is through http://www.sandiegoreader.com/accounts/profile Review CDs should be sent to the Reader office, marked “Attn. Hometown CDs” -- 1703 India Street, 92101. I look forward to checking out upcoming music from ALL the still-extant bands mentioned during this dialogue! That includes the briefly-referenced Trophy Wife, which has included current Heart Beat Trail members Matt Nelson and Jason Lewis, as well as Pony Death Ride singer/guitarist Joe MacAskill, who formerly played with Skunk Drunk and Big Wheel Wipeout.

Reinventing Nautical Disaster

=sigh= Nobody's "poking." Anybody/everybody (else) can read the Local Music Database entries on all four bands, and see all the reporting is fair and unbiased. As are all the comments here, other than a couple of non-staff comments clearly flavored by sour grapes -- there's nothing sinister about a newspaper posting updated info about the various players referenced in our articles. There are over 2,000 local bands and 5,000 musicians in the Local Music Database. We're not gonna pretend a band or player ceased to exist, just because a former bandmate bristles at the mere mention of their name and/or their current endeavors. If you want to see something in the Reader or on the website that only mentions what you WANT it to mention, buy an ad --- Regarding the faulty links, the Reader just instituted a new comment thread program that's kicking up a bit of malfunction dirt all over the website, especially with links (note your own Little Fowl link also failed - see, it's not a conspiracy!) - those glitches will be ironed out shortly. Meanwhile, interested parties can enter any band name in the "search" field, and enjoy our encyclopedic up-to-date bios, discographies, playable MP3s, event listings, and links to related material all over the Reader site.
