First question. What was your favorite art installation from Day for Night? Who would your ideal headliners be for DfN 2017?
Shout out to the lasers and giant (but also chill) cotton ball, but I have a soft spot for the water fountain downstairs that I never drank from because a leak left it inaccessible by flooding the area with humid puddles of cloudy water. It was just nice to know it was there at least.
I really have no idea who could headline this year. LCD could be a good fit and they've already played every other fest out there. I haven't seen the new xx show yet, so would settle for that. I could see Bonobo or Justice being billed high and maybe free by then. I'll just go with Dick Face for now.
I'm more concerned with the middle. Soulwax and Moderat are top priorities and Royskopp would be bad ass. I figure the avalanches will be busy at home that month. Nosaj Thing's show would be perfect for this. Throw something like Jacques Greene, Eric Prydz, Daphni, Clark, or Dubfire, but I already feel like I'm asking for too much rhythm and less dudes banging on washing machines.
If I were a hot dog I would probably still stick to my normal diet - maybe got out for a steak or just hunker down on the couch with a large bowl of CTC.
That answer changes throughout my life. There are certain books I enjoy teaching for instance that I value solely for the content and discussions they ignite. They aren't necessarily my favorites, but they definitely contribute to the overall goal which in my case is ultimately to care for their fellow humans and I could talk on them for hours (Gatsby, TKAM, Maus, etc). I spent the most time in college studying Dante and finally spent some time in Florence last Summer. His work was always my go to favorite, but looking back that was mostly because my studies had placed such an emphasis on his work.
The book I remember enjoy reading the most is cliche at this point, but Clockwork Orange was everything for me.
I was in my first studio at 15. I played bass so I didn't write anything outside of my parts, but I did contribute and eventually start writing shortly after.
Have you ever dreamed some part of a song, and then recorded it when you woke up?
So I have heard these amazing songs and try to replicate them when I wake up, but like most dreams they're lost in sleep. I do randomly get an idea or melody and save them on voice memos. To anyone else they would just sound like some crazy guy shouting melodies (or whispers if I get the idea when people are around), but in my head I'm just on the brink of this anthem that never materializes of course.

I do this all the time. I don't really replay them when people are around, because I can just imagine people asking me what I was listening to and then being like "Oh, just some snippets of me humming about six months or so ago."

Looking forward to the Jaz "Hummin'" EP, coming to Band Camp June 2017.
It's hard to name a single moment. I find myself sifting through significant moments because I'm a pretty happy dude in general. Some holiday with my family as a child is probably the answer, but those memories are mashed and I forgot specifics. The day I was engaged is up there.
Describe an event, or multiple events, that changed your whole perspective on shit.
I hadn't been outside of Texas until I was 17. My brother and I decided to drive out to LA to ride X2 at Magic Mountain. Half of the drive for us was just Texas. So it took a while for me to notice any real difference. But slowly we crept on more diverse landscape up until we are driving through mountains and I got bad anxiety. These were my first mountains and it was oddly overwhelming. We made some random stops along the way like Tombstone and Phoenix, but you can imagine how removed I felt when we finally made it to Los Angeles. I was just expecting beach front property. These were not hills, at least not like I had seen. These were mountains and literally an entire new world for me. Wasn't expecting any of it. The drive was 24 hours and I remember listening to a lot of music. Those songs still take me back. Hot Hot Heat - Bandages comes to mind and that Eve 6 song Think Twice had just come out. I finally relaxed and honestly went home with a new confidence. I did all of this with my bro more importantly and right before life happened basically. It was good for us. The trip itself definitely set me up for more travels and more importantly left me with a desire to digest more of the outside world.
I am trying to avoid this boring answer, but Muse's legacy could have really benefited from a Dr. Dre like hiatus after The Resistance. What the world didn't need was Second Law/Drones.
Ah, finally a question that requires zero thought. Nachos are just an open faced taco with chips as a base. Chips as a stand alone snack are rarely satisfying. They pair alright with sandwiches. Meanwhile wings are just fucking awesome.

Why does everyone from Texas love it so fucking much?
I'd like to give a specific reason, but that obviously changes for each person. There are those who exist comfortably within their own bubble and don't know of anything else. Texas itself is isolated for the most part. It takes hours to get to neighboring states and even those aren't so different. So the bubble is massive and few get out. Those searching for a major hub generally just stay in state. Austin is a big draw obviously. It gives young Texans an opportunity to get out and experience 'the world', while also staying within striking distance from mom and dad's house. Now that's not to say many don't get out, but they often come back. I attribute that to space mostly. Sure we have to drive everywhere but we have so much damn room. And at night time we see loads of stars. I'll take that over feeling smothered any day.

You sure it's not just because of the tacos?
When I was in high school we would cross the border into Mexico with a state ID and drink quarter beers. That was always a perk. The old people could get their medicine, chimineas, and teeth pulled. We just got really drunk.

How close are you to Mexico?
You go often?
That depends on which part of the border really. Some of the other board members here are much closer. I'm looking at anywhere from 6-12 hours. South Padre (basically our spring break destination) is right on the tip so young crowds always crossed the border at some point.
I don't really go anymore and that's for obvious reasons. I avoided it at first because they started requiring a passport/birth certificate and now I just don't want to chance it. Lerado is probably a much different scene than Matamoras though. Closest I get now is driving along the border around Big Bend, but we never cross.
And you shut your dirty mouth, Dave Maynar. That was the last night I ever went hard at Bonnaroo though and I'm glad you were treated to fury of new overly confident, dance moves.
