Name: Will Toledo Nickname: No regularly-used ones, though I think it’s cool when people call me ‘Car Seat Headrest’. Sign: right at the tail-end of Virgo
Favorite: Cookie: any kind that is provided specifically for me that I don’t have to pay for. Color: Colors work best in interplay with each other, I refuse to choose! Better to be surprised by vision. Time of Day: 9 AMish, when I’m getting up. The day is all bright potential, which I usually choose to waste.
MAOI: Do you believe in horoscopes and zodiac signs?
CSHR: You know, in a rational sense I do – humans are more reducible to a formula than we’d like to believe, so anyone with a decent grasp of the species can make pretty accurate predictions! I don’t think our fates are dictated by the stars, but I do think it’s pretty telling that over the past few millennia we’ve kept connecting the dots in the same way.
MAOI: Most wild and crazy thing you have done thus far in your life?
CSHR: Taking a 30-hour bus ride to spend a week with a romantic interest about 900 miles away from where my parents believed I was.

Q1. Most wild and crazy thing you have done thus far in your life?
A1. I rode my bike at night with the Wolf Pack Hustle years ago. Less than 2 blocks into the ride, I rode straight into a pothole and was launched over the handlebars of my bicycle. I ended up with two pins in my pinky and six stiches in my face. It was awesome.
Q2. Whats the most interesting thing you found lying on the street/sidewalk/ground/random place?
A2. $20. I was 10 years old. My two older brothers and I were walking home from school in the San Fernando Valley, and I caught sight of it. They took it from me and insisted that we buy baseball cards with it. I didn’t get to use any of the money for myself.
Q3. How many car accidents have you been in?

Q9. What do you wish was invented?
A9. A “waste black hole,” to put all the trash of the world in so that it can no longer pollute the earth.
Q10. Do you have a childhood memento you keep with you always?
A10. A picture of my bandmate from when we were 12 years old. It’s adorable and prominently displayed on the refrigerator.
I have a tendency to talk about things I know nothing about. Take The Pity Party for example, their music has a late 90’s Lower East Side sound to them. But if you asked me to compare it to another 90’s group I can’t name one, all I can say is I think “Love Lies” could have fit in perfectly on the tv show Buffy The Vampire Slayer’s soundtrack (which is my favorite show of all time – I love that soundtrack, so that’s quite a compliment). And I’ve never been to NY’s Lower East Side, but I know a bit about it and there is a basement bar quality to the hypnotic voice of singer Julie Edwards. It seems lately the LA music scene seems to be saturated with a vintage beach/ surf sound, so it’s refreshing to be torn from this “California” sound and hear something a bit more grity.

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.
