I am both a big fan of indie-rock and a demented sports fan (I really love Chartjunk), so I've always loved that you guys also seemed to fit into this narrow slice of the venn diagram.

Steve: Do you think that your fans pick up on the sports references and terminology in your songs (ie: the secondary stumbles cause the cadence of the count has lead them astray)? Do you meet a lot of fans/contemporaries who are also big sports fans?

Jake: Rip City has been struggling recently and their defence is suspect, do you think they're still contenders in the West? PS The Joggers were awesome.

Do you have a favorite funbag question that sticks out?

Hey Chuck, thanks for doing this AMA, I've been reading you for about a decade now.

I listened to a podcast with Bill Simmons a while back and one of you brought up the LCD Soundsystem Doc “Shut Up & Play the Hits.” You said that you believed that you thought that was what you would be best remembered for. Without blowing too much smoke, you’re a widely read, well-respected pop culture critic. Which of these is most true: you believe that documentary will become a "Gimme Shelter" or "Stop Making Sense" level Rockumentary, you believe that LCD would be remembered as one of the great american bands or that pop culture writing has a fairly finite life?

Also, how do I get into KISS? I've never been able to.

Thanks!

They love you too!
