Jackie Joyner-Kersee

If you released a 7" what would you put on the cover?
Why a seven inch? Probably dogs eating a pizza.

What was the first/last album you bought on the day it was released?
Clinic "Visitations"

If Josh Schwartz, creator of the OC, asked your band to perform on his tv show (as Modest Mouse, the Killers Tom Vek and the Walkmen have) would you?

the music, man...the music.
