Your Personal Favorite On-stage Moment/Show of 2008

Have you seen our performance on Conan O’Brien?? If not you should. Something “happens” at the very end of the song. It’s worth the watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGr9c1cu4sg

Classic Album or Artist You Discovered This Year

I’ve long been a CAN fan, but a friend just gave me 'Tago Mago' this year and it quickly became a van staple. Also been digging some George Jones re-issues and ELO’s Greatest Hits.

Best Film You Saw This Year

We all went to see the new Batman with the 40 Watt staff in Athens. It was pretty good.

Favorite new gadget, technology, site or application you can't live without

I’m still sporting the Nokia, but the rest of the band has iPhones and I have to say, they’re pretty nice.

Artist You Are Most Excited About In 2009 (any medium)

I cannot wait to see ‘The Road’ as a movie. I’ve also read ‘Blood Meridian’ by Cormac McCarthy and I hear Ridley Scott is making a movie based on it. So therein lies the potential to create the bloodiest, most amazing Western film in the history of the world.
