Eugene and some meat on MySpace
Today on usounds, Travis Vogt asks Eugene Mirman a few questions about his involvement with Super Deluxe, time travel, martial arts and his plans for the future.
Travis: What is it that appeals to you about working in the Super Deluxe format?
Eugene: I like making short, weird videos that can have more of their own style, rather than trying to fit into a TV mold.
If you had the choice, would you travel back in time, or travel forward into the future? Why, and where?
Both sound so good. Probably into the future. Obviously, if I go back in time I can finally find out what happens to the time-line if I alter it. However, I think I may want to be in a flying car a little more. It would obviously suck if I found out that humanity destroyed itself in thirty years. It’d be a burden to return to our time and try to get people to stop some stupid thing to avoid the end of days.
Hey assholes! I know there are a lot of ‘wolf’ bands out there right now, but how many other wolf bands have gills? Yeah, that’s what I thought.
Sea Wolf is Alex Church from the band Irving. His 5-song EP Get To The River Before It Runs Too Low will be released May 8th on Dangerbird Records with a debut album to follow in September. Here’s a song from the album now!
The Go Find’s newest album, Stars on the Wall (release date April 24th) as been described as, “A collection of good-sounding danceable pop tunes.” Check out the song Dictionary.
NME reports that the Beach Boys will release a career retrospective called, The Warmth of the Sun that features remixes by the band members themselves due out May 22nd. It’s just like having your g-rents at the helm of a new musical montage!
Death Cab will appear as the musical guest on Conan tonight.
Even more new Sasquatch Fest 07 news. Just added: Blackalicious, Visqueen and Incredibly Strange Wrestling(?). Also, the Beastie Boys will be doing an additional instrumental show on Saturday on the Wookie Stage (separate from their Sunday headlining spot). THEN Mike D will do an A Cappella DJ set on Saturday night from the inside of a Honey Bucket!
