q and also a :: Radical Dads
Friday, July 1st, 2011Robbie, Lindsay, and Chris of Radical Dads 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?
r: Turn Around (mp3) by Lunch.
l: Birds of Paradise Lost (mp3) by Conversion Party. Not only did I hear them play it live the other weekend at Cake Shop‘s 6th birthday party, my manfriend insists on scatting the bass line, so I continually hear his “interpretation” of it. That said, I still love the song.
c: My Purple Past the last song on side one of Deerhoof’s Offend Maggie. It was a wake-up call. I realized I truly have been living a purple life, and something needs to change.

q: What is your favorite beverage?
l: I have a longstanding affinity for the classic Pimm’s Cup, especially as made by Ryan Seaton, who plays in Callers and tends a splendid bar at Roman’s. And with summer approaching, I imagine I’ll be consuming many gallons of the grapefruit-mint margarita from Taco Chulo, which is like a Greyhound (the non-dog kind) on spring break in Tulum. In the non-alcoholic realm, I really enjoy an unfiltered ginger beer.
c: Water served in a mug. I don’t like to see what’s floating around.
q: What is your favorite band to see live?
l: When I need some rock in my life, I reach for Little Gold. When I’m in an experimental post-psych drone-loop mood, it’s Blood Revenge all the way.
c: Les Savy Fav.

q: What piece(s) of culture are you really really excited about right now?
r: Anything happening at Desert Island in Williamsburg.
l: I’m going to double co-sign Robbie’s answers: Diamond Mouth Surprise‘s awesome reading/music/film series! And Desert Island. Wish I could get stranded there.
