q and also a :: ANTIMAGIC
Marcia and Ted of ANTIMAGIC sent us these answers to our questions in this next installment of the q and also a series.
q: What is the last song you (really) heard?
m: You Got Lucky (youtube) by Tom Petty.
t: “Same Old Scene” by Roxy Music, from their much-maligned Flesh & Blood album from 1980. It’s serves as the opening and closing music of the film Times Square also from 1980. Total ear candy perfection, but still kinda weird. A heavily reverbed Ferry vocal with little of his trademark vibrato, makes him sound like a ghost in a genuinely creepy way.

q: What is your favorite beverage?
m: I like iced tea, and I like Old Grand Dad, in separate glasses please.
t: Scalding hot black coffee.
q: What is your favorite band to see live?
m: Future Islands, can never see those guys play enough. Also YellowFever, their singer has a rad voice.
t: Talk Normal and The Psyched fer sure; so many good ones going right now – really enjoyed Heavy Cream a few weeks back as well, Parts And Labor, ZULUS…

q: What is your favorite venue in NYC (if applicable)?
m+t: Death By Audio. Nicest folks, great sound, rad environment and we’ve always been paid. The best.
q: What piece(s) of culture are you really really excited about right now?
m: There’s a new exhibit at The Natural History Museum called The World’s Largest Dinosaurs that we’re both really stoked about. My mom just emailed me about it actually. Check it out.
t: Watching art and music documentaries on Netflix Instant – it’s like the only thing that they’ve instant-ized completely and apparently there’s an obscure documentary about almost any band or artist you could possibly be interested in. I just saw “Athens Inside And Out” for the first time, which was thrilling for contemporary ted the Pylon super fan and 8th grade ted the over-zealous R.E.M. apologist. Really well made, by turns heartbreaking and completely inspiring. I also watched a great one about The Doors recently at my girlfriend’s insistence that really did convince me to stop being such a naysayer on those guys.
