.311's NickHexum on hitting the road with dirtyheads and embracing their cult status
This year marks two decades of that time-honored ritual, which has been augmented in recent years by epic concerts and cruises to celebrate 311 day in March. When the band's frontman Nick Hexum sits down to chat with Billboard, it is just before they embark on their current Stateside trek -- and he is ready.
Positivity is a term that gets tossed around a lot in reference to 311. But as Hexum has noted before, their lyrics do not simply espouse an upbeat, life-affirming or party-hearty vibe. A song like"We try and have the full range of emotion being expressed in our music," says Hexum. "I have demons and dark thoughts. The lyrics in 311 are about the struggle to stay positive and keep a good attitude, even know there are tough things both internally and externally.
. "We have a split philosophy where some songs are gonna be old school 311 using Scotch Ralston who is our long-time producer and sound man," says Hexum. "And then other songs are going to have a much more modern, try new things vibe where we work with John Feldmann. That formula on." The split this time is four songs with Feldmann and nine with Ralston.

Marianne and Leonard, Desire, and the Beauty in ObjectificationThere is a scene in Nick Broomfield’s new documentary, Marianne and Leonard—chronicling the artist-muse relationship between Leonard Cohen and Marianne Ilhen—where Ilhen floats on her back in the Greek sea, straw-colored hair and languid body illuminated by the sun, as Cohen’s voiceover recites a poem in the background. She appears inseparable from the light in the shot, as though if she left the frame she would take its warmth with her. This is the image of a muse: an unspeaking woman’s beauty, narrated by a great male artist’s voice. It is his project to subsume himself in her vitality, and to derive art from that.
