1. If you could place yourself in/on any album cover, which would you choose?

I think I could pull this off:


2. Which song lyric most confuses you?

Anything out of "Telegram Sam" by T Rex. That song is great, I love it, but it makes no sense.

3. Do you play the DVD commentaries?

Literally never.

4. Who is your favorite Wu-Tang member?


I don't listen to WTC =(.

5. Describe your favorite local venue.

This is a really tough one. I love Bottom of the Hill, Thrillhouse Records, the Submission, and of course 924 Gilman. None of these places have even remotely good PAs so any band that plays there sounds ****ty but it's always still a blast. BotH is kinda small, bar to the side. Most I've seen there is maybe 250 people at a Joyce Manor show. It was bananas. Thrillhouse Records is a record shop with a basement in which it is highly illegal to host shows in. The ceiling is about 6ft tall with support beams that jet down about a foot so if you're tall, have fun. Moshing is pretty much prohibited because... you just can't. Someone will die. Still, a great place that smells like buttsweat, cheap beer, and punk rock. 924 gilman... you just have to be there.

6. Describe your favorite local band.


At the moment? Still Tony Molina. I listen to his solo album and EPs and the stuff he did with Ovens every day. Basically really short songs, at most 2 minutes usually 45sec to a minute. Lots of heavy, metallesque riffs. Cheesey Thin Lizzy style guitar solos. Vocals that remind me of Dinosaur Jr. And lyrics I can relate to about being an underachieving bum. Great stuff.

EDIT:

For favorite venues, I forgot to mention 1234GO! Records. another record store based in Oakland that host shows from time to time. Good shop. Good place. Good people. Live in the Bay Area? Listen to punk? GO THERE.
