q and also a :: Pollination
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?
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.

“Day Of The Woman is a collaboration with Yppah and Stenographer” ? And what’s the relationship btwn Pollination and Ypphah? Did SK tell you I was sorry about not saying bye the other night?
Ok, in the studio Day Of The Woman (DOTW) consists of Pollination (Nick Noeding Jr.), Stenographer (Dave Salinas), and Yppah (Joe Corrales Jr.). When DOTW play live, they also work with [on hiatus] (Jerry Rios). Watch a recording of DOTW from 2008… here. They have an album coming out this spring.
Noeding also plays in the Yppah live band. Watch Yppah play live… here. And to make it a little more confusing, Noeding and Corrales also do remix work together as Collider! (follow the link to hear their Major Lazer remix).
And, if you want to have nightmares tonight watch this Major Lazer video.
I think that pretty much covers it.
Oh and yes, SK told me.
