I go through spells where I’m a certain way for three or four months. I might be more reticent than usual, or more outgoing.

And my cousin Joe Harvard, who started Fort Apache Studios in Boston and was like a brother to me - he died, too. It was such a tough year.

I’m honestly not sure. I don’t keep track. All I know is that if I play one song off each album at a gig, it’s a long show. I recorded a full length Pernice Brothers record a few years back, but ditched it after it was mixed. Scrapping it had everything to do with me not liking the songs. The playing, the recording and mixing were fantastic to my ears.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter letting the mixes sit for a while I revisited them for giggles. Still no dice, but there were a couple songs that were really good and deserved to be saved, unlike my soul. I holed up with engineer\/musician extraordinaire Liam Jaeger in Toronto, and we reworked\/mixed the songs worth the time. Then we kept recording new songs until Spread The Feeling was done.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEric Menck came up with the title. I think it was a peanut butter ad campaign slogan. If it wasn’t, it should be. This record definitely has the most “muscle” of all my records. (That’s not saying much if you compare it to say, Pine Box by the Scud Mountain Boys.) The playing is pretty nuts. Liam Jaeger and James Walbourne are two of the finest guitarists out there. Peyton Pinkerton is a true genius. It should be no surprise to learn that he’s an exceptional painter. All three players wowed me at every turn. Both Patrick Berkery and Ric Menck played drums. They are as good as it gets in my opinion. Neko Case and Pete Yorn were extremely generous with their voices. I’m grateful to both for elevating the songs. Oh, and my brother Bob is on there too, as always. The record was recorded and mixed in Boston, Toronto and Washington State. What’s the single? Probably “The Devil And The Jinn” or “Mint Condition” or “Lullaby.” I have my favourite songs, but they are almost never the ones most people like.\" Joe Pernice\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ashmont Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50462623760715,"sku":"1080855","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/34fdcc76-03d8-4bbe-afbd-9d3c69dba048_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727258683"},{"product_id":"overcome-by-happiness-2","title":"Overcome By Happiness","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou don't want your stuff to vanish, says Joe Pernice about the twenty-fifth anniversary reissue of Overcome By Happiness. \"Not that I'm looking to get famous, but you need to connect with the world.
