On <strong>November</strong> 30, American,<br />
European assimilated singer, John<br />
Grant will be at Warsaw in Brooklyn.<br />
This is one performance that you<br />
really need to attend. His music<br />
is filled with twists and turns and<br />
prophetic messages, with hints of<br />
insanity in the best possible way.<br />
Grant is a brilliant singersongwriter.<br />
He was formerly a<br />
member of the Denver-based<br />
alternative rock band Czars, but<br />
left to pursue a solo career. He has<br />
recently released his fourth studio<br />
album, “Love Is Magic.” I spoke<br />
with him and found him to be<br />
completely amazing, matching his<br />
songs and music.<br />
So you’re heading to<br />
Brooklyn?<br />
Yes, I’m excited!<br />
Tell me about “Love Is<br />
Magic.”<br />
It’s basically just another<br />
step towards me finding<br />
my own voice, expressing<br />
myself in the purest way<br />
I know how. Up until this<br />
point what I like to do<br />
is tell it like it is, all the<br />
ugliness and the beauty<br />
of everyday existence. I<br />
just feel like it’s all valid<br />
moments, snapshots of<br />
everyday life. You, living in<br />
New York—I’ve lived there<br />
myself as well. No matter<br />
what you have planned on<br />
any given day is but a tiny<br />
fraction of what makes its<br />
way into your brain. You<br />
make your way around<br />
the city, make your way<br />
through the streets with<br />
snippets of conversations,<br />
and are bombarded by<br />
advertisements, dealing<br />
with whatever you were<br />
dealing with inside of<br />
your own head, not to<br />
mention what’s going on<br />
in your subconscious. To<br />
me it’s just about everyday<br />
existence. Pretty much you<br />
can have anything happen<br />
on any given day. You never<br />
know what you’re going to<br />
get. I mean, you can plan<br />
to a certain extent, but<br />
you have very little control.<br />
At least I find that there is<br />
quite a bit of an illusion as<br />
far as how much control we<br />
think we have.<br />
The lyrics to your songs<br />
are interesting and deep.<br />
If there is any one artist<br />
whose head I could get<br />
into, I would choose<br />
yours.<br />
I’m not sure you would like<br />
it too much.
