Random Questions with...Old Abram Brown

While you all wait for the upcoming review/interview with Old Abram Brown (you can check them out for yourselves here), an Eastern Massachusetts indie-rock trio whose first full release, Alive In Winter, is currently available and worth more than a listen, spend some time reading the responses to the random questions I threw at them. As a welsh corgi fan, I was very happy with the answer for "Favorite Animal". So, take a gander!

Favorite Movie Soundtrack
It may be easier for us to say favorite soundtrack composers, in which case they are Jon Brion (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), Yann Tiersen ( Goodbye, Lenin), and Mihaly Vig (Werkmeister Harmonies). And who can deny how well any Stanley Kubrick score fits his films? Johnny Greenwood's work for There Will be Blood was brilliant also.

Best Venue?
Middle East in Cambridge, MA. Dylan is also a big fan of his trip to Red Rocks.

Favorite Song to Cover
We don't cover often but Radiohead tunes are fun on our own time. We played around with an Enya tune once that we might revisit.

Best souvenir from any place you've been
We don't have many souvenirs that mean all that much, Dylan has an International Wolf Center Pencil that he is quite fond of.

Worst amusement park
The ones that don't amuse.

Humorous childhood story?
Anything from Mt. Pleasant Elementary. In fact, that's where we got our band name. Old Abram Brown was a song Carson and Erik sang in music class at one point.

Eastern Europe or Western Europe?
Western Europe

Favorite animal?
Our Welsh Corgi (not dylan's dog (he's a jerk))

What did you want to be when you were growing up?
Erik: A rock star or skate boarder
Carson: A Baseball Player.
Dylan: something to do with video game graphics

Worst comedian?
Carlos Mencia, Seth Green, Chris Rock. And all of those redneck comedians.

Would you rather bullfight or be in the running of the bulls...
Chicago Bulls.
