Random Questions with: Clatter Clatter

While I cultivate the article for the latest band I've interviewed, Clatter Clatter, read the random questions and get to know the band... AHOY!

Favorite Movie?
Tie between Pulp Fiction and Ghostbusters and Donnie Darko and Back To The Future

The id, superego, or ego?
Superego. We Love exclamations.

Painting or Sculpture?
Painting sculptures.

The first animal you look for in the zoo?
Koala bears. They're so fucking cute. Way better than cockroaches.

First album that made you interested in music?

It's different for all of us. The Eagles' "Greatest Hits Volume 2". Van Halen's "5150". Chuck Berry's "The Great 28".

Toronto or Montreal?
Toronto. Canadians suck. (Some of us are rabid hockey fans.)

Most disgusting sandwich ever created?
I once saw a picture of this guy's McDonald's special: something like 12 meat patties, smothered in grease and cheese. *Shudder* Y'all should stick to the Nashua Garden for sandwiches.

Your dream license plate?
ASSMAN.

Best musical?
"The Secret Garden" because Keith was in it in 11th grade.

Worst lyrics you've heard in a song before?
From a credible artist? "Queen of the Supermarket" by Bruce Springsteen or anything from the past several Weezer albums. Also, and let us preface this with the fact that we love Paul McCartney's solo work. But his last album had some terrible lyrics. The worst is: "what we are, is what we are. And what we wear...is vintage clothes."

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.
