Next up in our q and also a series are the answers from the crafter of noise and beats named POLLINATION.

q: What is the last song you (really) heard?

a: Redlights (mp3) by SALEM

q: What is your favorite food?

a: Any kind of New Mexican (I am required by state law to say this). Specifically, a carne adovada burrito from Garcia’s Kitchen. Or, alternately, a breakfast burrito from The Frontier.

q: What is your favorite band to see live?

a: The Flaming Lips around the time they were touring for The Soft Bulletin. I’m a sucker for confetti and fake blood.

Listen: Riding to Work in the Year 2025 (You’re Invisible Now) (mp3) by The Flaming Lips

q: What is your favorite venue in NYC (if applicable)?

a: n/a. I have been to NY once but that was 10 years ago and I don’t remember anything about it except for freezing to death and buying a fake ID in a luggage store.

q: OK, President Obama appoints you as the first Secretary of Culture, to whom do you give your first grant?

a: Hmm, probably Aether, or Zoon van snooK if I could give it to someone in the UK.

Listen:
Nothing Brings Me Down (mp3) by Aether
Bibliophone (mp3) by Zoon van snooK (mp3 removed per artist request)

q: Anything we should know about your latest project (whatever that might be)?

a: Well, the DOTW album is coming out in a few months (ed. note: Day Of The Woman is a collaboration with Yppah and Stenographer). Also there are some new Pollination EPs waiting in the wings and hopefully some sort of tour… should be a pretty decent year.

Here is an advance track from the Day Of The Woman album.

Listen: Jennifer Hills (mp3) by Day Of The Woman

Here is one Pollination track as remixed two different ways by the other members of Day Of The Woman.
