What was the best album released in 2006 that few people heard?
The Botticellis EP. Find it and love it. See them play and love them more. So San Francisco. Wait until you hear the new stuff. Wait until you hear Alexi’s voice.
What do you hope to hear more of in 2007? Less of?
I hope to hear more original music and less regurgitated songs. I hope to hear more bells and less distortion.
What album or song do you feel best defines this generation?
That’s way too hard, but at this moment I’m listening to “Brand New Day” by Van Morrison and it seems to fit. I realize he isn’t really the voice of this generation, but we could let him be our leader.
Be honest: Did you watch any episodes of Rock Star: Supernova?
I did not watch even one episode of Rock Star: Supernova. I did watch Flavor of Love. I love New York.
