Hey Jeff! I had a dozen or so questions that have been stuck in my mind for the last few years, but I cut it down to the 6 least-awful of them. These are questions too inane and specific for any interviewer to ask, but too long for Twitter. Feel free to answer as many or as few or as none-of them as you want. Sorry.

  1. Is the car crash in Last On My List the same one in I'm Serious, I'm Sorry? Are the five funerals of Five Funerals during "that summer that everybody died" (Sick, Later)? (Why did I lead with such a morbid question?!)

  2. When the ASOB reunion happened, you mentioned there were some ASOB lyrics that you were embarrassed about (specifically, "the winter knocked on my door like a selfish bitch"). Now that we're removed from the BTMI years, are there any BTMI lyrics that particularly embarrass you?

  3. What exactly is Clap Your Hands Say Shut The Fuck Up? From what I can gather from the very few mentions of it online, it was the demo of Goodbye, Cool World. The version I have of it has demos of songs off Goodbye Cool World, Get Warmer, and Scrambles. Does that mean some songs like Wednesday Night Drinkball and 9/11 Fever were written back in 2006, unreleased until 2009?

  4. Do you have anything leftover for Others! Vol. 2, or did most of that get put on I Look Like Shit (like The Internet is Everywhere)?

  5. Do you think the BTMI "experiment" worked? The idea in the first few years was to make music and release it for free, no labels, have no merch, spraypaint t-shirts after shows, all ages shows, for under $10. By the end of the band's life, only the free releases was consistant. Obviously you were meeting demands that your own fans wanted, but do you think a band could achieve commercial and critical success following the original guidelines, or has the landscape of the industry changed too much?

  6. Who played for ASOB's Radiohead show? You, Dave, JT... ?

Edit: 7. Why do you have a "backpack full of sex toys"?

Just listened to your Inside Music interview - I hope you keep you cussing out punk-ass stage divers in there. Probably my favorite part of the night!

I don't think they've put anything new up in a long time.

I'd say just call it a day.
