Hello My Name Is…
Mayer Hawthorne - how do you do?

I was raised in…
Ann Arbor, MI – just outside of Detroit.

The reason that you’re reading about me is…
I’m sensational and I’m also the newest signing to Stones Throw Records.

Right now I’m working on…
My debut album A Strange Arrangement – it drops 09.09.09!

But I rather be…
In bed with Megan Fox.

My most prized possessions are…
Besides my record collection…my bass guitar, and my skateboard.

But I’d give it all away for…
Maybe for Peanut Butter Wolf’s record collection.

The First Thing I do in the morning is…
Eat a balanced breakfast. Most important meal of the day!

The last thing I do at night is…
“I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death!”

My momma always said…
“Oy veh! Why do you spend all your money on records?”

I love it when people…
Invent something new.

I hate it when people…
Mixup their homonyms. (not there, or they’re)

If you ever see me walking down the street…
Don’t ask me if I want to “collab” on anything.

My most notable run in with the law…
I was recently arrested in Baltimore, on the Stones Throw US Tour, for urinating on a police station. They didn’t think it was nearly as funny as I did.

If I had to say sorry it would be because…
It Just Ain’t Gonna Work Out!

I get real “aggro” when…
I’m stuck in LA traffic…which is pretty much all the time.

The last time i swore I’d never drink was after a night of…
Jail in Baltimore.

Future projects and Plans…
I’m working on a few top secret new projects. But mainly I’ll be touring to support my new album.

And before I leave I’d like to give a shout out to…
Stones Throw, A-Side Worldwide, and Houston’s Knife and Fork Ribs. Check out my twitter – twitter.com/mayerhawthorne.
