What's the nerdiest thing about you?
Anagram: andre = a nerd.
Thank you, good night!
What albums are in heavy rotation for you right now?
What was the first movie you remember seeing in a movie theater?
Question submitted by mainmor.
It was Paper Tiger staring David Niven. Read the review at the bottom of the page to get an idea how awesome this movie was. Also, it was at a drive-in movie. I want to find this movie since it's one of my earliest memories. I really only remember looking up and seeing someone in a white suit or gown.
Do you have any tattoos? If not, if you were going to get inked, what would you get?
If you had a band, what would you call yourselves?

The Master Of Your Disguise
It's like kind of rock but like serious music, you know? We're not just going to be another band that writes music and then sings lyrics to it, we're going to be a force for change. Change in the world, in the scene, change in the attitudes of not just our peers, but the world around us. Whatever you are, we're going to change you. It might not be for the better, and for that I am sorry, but sometimes change is good--even when it's bad.
Too many bands come out and they're like, "Oh, we have this one song we wrote, and the reason it sounds better than anything else on our album is because we went into a really nice studio and recorded it with Gil 'Fuckin' Peternortonhowe who not only recorded Detroit's "Feared Dead" but also the Orchestral Interpretation of Feared Dead's last album. So you know, he does like that whole span of music."
I mean, what is that? That's bullshit right there. We're not about bullshit, we're about good music. Hanging with your buds and just fucking going, "Let's listen to something that will affect us in a positive or negative way. We don't care!"
And that is youth, and that is why the children are our future. Thank you.
What is your favorite cover song?
Question submitted by Ray.
Sublime in Boston in the mid-90's on tour doing a radio show and being asked to play "Date Rape" (which they hated) and instead playing something else...
Okay, the truth is I think this is a clever edit. When I first heard this I assumed it to be the story, I mean, how punk rock is it to go on and play a Minor Threat cover (THE Minor Threat cover) when asked to play your college radio hit? Not only that, the interviewer opens himself for the song by saying he "promised" his fans (the actual songs ends with "...and that's a promise.")
I have an out-take of them actually playing Date Rape on WBCN, so I think they actually did play it, and then played this and some jokester decided it'd be funnier if they edited it this way.
Still, as sloppy as this song is, it sure would have a been a funny event if it was true.
What is your current computer desktop image? Let's see it!
My beautiful grilfriend took this.
What's your cell phone's ringtone? What made you pick it?
Default. It's just a phone.
What or who is your favorite product mascot? Why?
Oh man, Fantasy Jeopardy board.
Beard Papa, hands down. Years from now, when I can't eat Beard Papa because my cholestorol for some strange reason is 538, and my liver has to be milked because it's full of egg whites, I'll still love that damn mascot.
Mule sure has a nice one though, no?
Play any instrument or speak any language, which do you choose?
Question submitted by cruftbox.vox.com.
Play any instrument.
I think this question is devised as a test of one's sociability, but I would disagree with conclusions. Playing with people can be just as interesting as talking to them. Sometimes when we're in our practice room and we're just, uh, jamming, there's this moment of relating to each other that develops. Sometimes it's "wow, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that" but other times it's "hey, that sounds really neat when you do that one thing while I do this thing...yeah, that feels great..."
Playing any instrument, to me, would be far more satisfying since:
- You can play with anyone, regardless of language
- Though concepts and the "language" of music can be simple, the feelings and emotions can greater than anything small talk could ever produce
