Just got off the phone with Jake Snider (guitar / vocals for Minus the Bear). I set up an interview for a feature piece I'm writing about their upcoming show in Portland on the 16th. He was very personable, although he sounded a bit groggy. He definitely wasn't as 'on' as I had expected him to be, his answers were pretty straightforward (I left a few questions out because he didn't seem to be in a 'silly-question' mood), so it wasn't the most entertaining article, but nonetheless, still super badass.

Me: What was the last CD that you really, really enjoyed?
Jake: Probably Subtle, that CD is amazing.
Me: Isn't that a bummer about Dax being paralyzed?
Jake: Dax is paralyzed?!
Me: Yeah, their van flipped and he broke his neck...
Jake (talking to people in the van): Dax is paralyzed
(insert suprised gasps here)
Jake: geez man, thanks for the good news...

This week has been crazy. The cover for the A&E section this week was killer, I'll post it when I get home later today.

I love you all.
