The Name: Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

Sarbear - 7-11-2008 at 02:12 PM

This is what I asked Alex:

Where did you come up with the name?


I love it, and I love to tell people the name and see the curious look on their face and reply to that with there my favorite band and you should listen to them.


His Answer:


perfect because I was worried bout the name again ha am i silly or what...
the name... two things - Edward Sharpe from a novel I was/am writing about a savior of the world sent down 3 times from the mass of Light somewhere out there...3 times because each time he kept falling in love with a woman instead of doing what he was supposed to do - save the world...LOVE the world... BUT ME - I am the 4th incarnate - destined to LOVE THE WORLD!!!
MAgnetic Zeros - a kind of addition I recieved late one night, I recall... an addition in which ZERO is magnetic, and so additions of numbers create a pendulum, away, back to, and across ZERO... Depending on the amount of magnetism and the given force of integers, 3 + 4 might equal -2.6... not sure what the application is but I can see it... zero being this kind of humming blue orb and the numbers being these tiny points of light, dancing away and back and across it...
=e



It couldn't have been a better answer.

The older songs that they have redone are good ones, I can't wait to hear the new ones.

Dare we any of us say that AE has the Lennon instinct?

I while back I asked Alex if he could pick any artist in the world to be his favorite out of fine arts and music anything he considered an artist and he picked John Lennon


So, yes... he does.

I'm S M R T.

Alex & Jade way remind me of John & Yoko.
But with less global impact thus far.

and jade is likeable unlike yoko :D

Delta - 7-15-2008 at 05:08 PM

they'll both be bare ass on the cover of the album ;)

Yoko's not so bad.
John loved her very much and she made him very happy.

And that makes me very happy.

We'd have had a different John if there were no Yoko.

I would like to see what the cover is going to look like.
