I only recently started listening to Sleeping at Last as they were brought to my attention on my Last.fm. There last album Storyboards, which I have been listening to on repeat, is a romantic inspired melodic folk. For me it’s the music you hear before the first kiss or while holding hands. Simple delights. Not to say there aren’t the melodies filled with loss or longing, but I like to stay positive. Please check out more of Sleeping at Last on their myspace page and website

I was searching Daytrotter for new bands to interview and after a slew of whatever bands or bands that were to hoity toity to invite, I came across Sleep Out. A great down to earth and genuine band with genuine tunes, I played only ten seconds of the first song Daytrotter posted and knew this was the next band. And I was right! Thank you Sleep Out.

Q1.What is the most outrageous thing you have ever done to impress someone you were interested in?
A1. When I was 16 I tripped a girl in the study area at our high school and made her fall backwards over another friend who was kneeling down behind her. Probably the meanest thing I have ever done and it was just because I had a crush on her. I felt pretty terrible about it. We were friends at the time but I’m sure she kind of hated me for it. We lost track of each other after high school and college. Then we became friends again about 5 years ago and got married this summer – so I guess in the end, it was impressive.

Q2.Are you an optimist, pessimist or realist?
A2. Definitely an optimistic realist.

Q3.What’s your favorite Ology?
A3.Zoology / Ornithology / Apology

Q4.What kind of student were you in High School? What clique did you belong to?
A4.I hung out with the skater / punk clique. We all wanted to pretend like we were either in Fugazi or Blur at the time.

Q5.What horror film person/monster is most terrifying?
A5.The guy in the bear suit in The Shining

Q6. How do you party on a Saturday night?
A6. In a booth at the Long Room in Chicago.

Q7.If you could say Sorry to anyone who would you say Sorry too? What for?
A7. To my wife for tripping her back in the day. I think I already apologized for that though. One more time can’t hurt.

Q8.What do you hate/dislike doing but must do anyway?
A8.I hate running but do it anyway. Me and Pete (bass) play on a soccer team together and have a lot of fun doing that but I like soccer because there’s someone else to compete against. When I go running I’m competing against myself and am not to great at that. I just punched myself and told myself to try harder.

Q9.What word is fun to say?
A9. Edited.

Q3.What’s your favorite Ology?
A3.Chemistry…uh, Chemistryology. The idea that human’s understanding of the physical world can be summarized by 103 different building blocks blows my mind….and when you consider that living organisms are basically carbon, hydrogen, sodium, calcium and magnesium makes it even more amazing.

Math the Band…love IT!

A band with good beats and humor trumps the grumpy good beat band any day of the week. And in this case Math the Band has won the war with fun crazy dancey toe tappen keyboard rifts and silly sometimes my favorite irrelevant lyrics. Plus they put their bad reviews on their myspace page. One has to admire the bands confidence to say “Hey some people think we suck but we still love you”

Plus their merch is awesome got to love a band with good merch. I’m considering a future career as a merch girl. You can check out their merch on their myspace page or click this and see my favorite. I need it and I need it now.

Q4.If you could live in a movie for a day, which movie would it be? Would you be yourself or another character?

A4.wow,, such a fabulous question!!! I would be in Labyrinth and I would be David Bowie’s character!!!!

Q5. If your art was an ice cream flavor which one would it be?

I remeber sitting in the theater and balling my eyes out, wiping loads of snot all over my chair becuase i just ran out of room on my sleve. i was just SO moved by her raw emotional honesty and balls and insanity and also vulnerable, Openess with the audience. That forever changed and inlfuenced me.

Isn’t she amazing! And although The Happy Hollows are a rockn band thanks to RFSL a while ago (months and months) I was able to download Sarah’s song Driver. Its amazing I listen to it at least once every other day, especially while getting ready it just puts me in a good mood. If you can track down that song do it! NOW!!

ALSO The Happy Hollows will be having their first Album release next Friday, September 4th at Spaceland. Please go out and support this well deserved achievement.

Learned about The Spinto Band via Last.fm. They were added to the rotation and I happily welcomed them into my Library. Thier latest album “Moonwink” has an innocent quality capturing the feeling of a summer love or beach vacation. When the old station wagon was packed to the brim and in the midst of teen angst one rolled their eyes at the thought of spending the entire summer away from all your friends and stuck with the family. But little did you know that the cutest boy/girl you had ever seen would only be a few beach houses away. The fair would roll into town and as the two of you danced in the sea breeze and shared cotton candy, The Spinto Band played in the background. The Soundtrack of the 1940’s summer you wish you had, but never did!
