First, I have to say, The Dismemberment Plan is my favorite band. Not in a "Oh wow, I really love them!" kind of way, but in a "You changed the way I heard music." kind of way. In '01 an old friend put their headphones on my head and said "listen to this." Time Bomb played. I had never heard anything like it. I fell in love with the song, instantly. Since then, I can honestly say, not a week has gone by that I haven't listened to the plan at length. I'm always searching for something new and exciting, musically. My taste in and love for music has been forever influenced by what I call "Chasing The Plan." Thank you.
Alright. Now that we've got the fanboy shit out of the way, on to the questions.
For Travis: I heard a rumor, awhile back, that The Face of the Earth was inspired by an event that happened to Michael Jordan's girlfriend of a few months drowning in a riptide. I've searched, but can only find a quote from an apparent interview that you gave. Is this true? If not, what was the inspiration for it?
Speaking of inspirations and meanings, please explain Bra to me.
I've listened to Uncanny Valley quite a bit now and I love it. I know you've all been working on it for quite some time. What was an unforseen challenge that came from getting back in the studio together, for the first time in over a decade?
Lastly, Travis, you picked me up and twirled my 6'2 bald ass around, after the show at Rams Head Live, earlier this year. My girl tells nearly everyone about that.
I hope to see you guys this Saturday at 9:30! Girl O' Clock and/or One Too Many Blows to the Head... p-p-please.
Kill it on Fallen and make AudioTree.tv happen! Thanks!
Edit: @Jason Everyone knows the trash goes out on a Tuesday now. You should fix that note.
