GIMME TINNITUS

Chris of Tan Dollar sent us these concise answers to our questions in this next installment of q and also a.

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

a: I’m listening to Rip It Up by Orange Juice right now.

q: What is your favorite beverage?

a: Coke or Arizona Ice Tea.

q: What is your favorite band to see live?

a: I’ve never really thought about this before but Sonic Youth were amazing the few times I’ve been able to see them live. Animal Collective has never disappointed. It’s always cool to see our friends’ bands play too.

Listen:
Eric’s Trip (Live) (mp3) Sonic Youth
Brother Sport (Live in NYC) (mp3) (source: nyctaper) by Animal Collective

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

a: I’ve actually never been to or played a show in NYC but my favorite LA venue was probably the Echo Curio (R.I.P.)

q: What piece(s) of culture are you really really excited about right now?

a: I’m not really excited about anything culturally. I guess the one thing that gets me pumped is YouTube.

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

a: I am working on a lot of different projects right now. Keep your eyes peeled for Tan Dollar (tandollar.blogspot.com), Horse Head (bighlittleh.bandcamp.com), and Dreamless (dreamless.bandcamp.com). There should be lots of new music from these projects this year.
