[dance avey dance]

Just to prevent the Slasher Flicks/Avey solo thread from getting too messy, especially after this takes place...

What do you plan on asking?

[witek]

Great! Hoping for good questions and great answers. I would like to know what subjects Avey, Deakin, Panda and Geo have been talking about next plans or ideas in their e-mails. But i dont know if im going to ask there.

[clayton]

"how high are you right now be honest? "

[witek]

I'm specially curious if Panda will continue with that crazy drumkit, and avey in the keyboards, etc
BUT i think they priorize questions about Slasher Flicks

[archie]

someone ask him wth hes doing with that juno when they played daily routine live

[Chocolate Boy]

Gonna ask him for another reading suggestion. I read The Untameables which I discovered through an interview of his and loved it. I wonder how he will navigate the flood. I want to ask about what he is thinking for this solo double LP he's been considering, and I want to ask how much he has used the monomachine. I want my own personal Avey Tare AMA.... Maybe this will inspire the others to do one too. I'd go nuts over a geologist AMA almost more because itd be more intimate

[dud]

someone please please please ask him about the 2011 live jams & tell him every1 needs him 2 record them asap

[Ethmin]

I would like him to talk about those tracks he did with Angel that he put on his radio mix.

yeah this. song for jerome plz?

also didnt he mention interest in doing a solo acoustic album around that time? that might be worth an inquiry if not to just remind him of an awesome idea.

[SpritBear]

i gotta work during this. do you think it'll be organized into a nice little article with all the questions and answers on the same page?

[clayton]

there's sometimes a bot that does it but I'll do it anyways

[rampface]

Ask more about the AC live stuff. How soon will we hear it.

[geraldine]

Did they ever catch the guy who stole those recordings in 2000?

[geraldine]

lel what if he gets downvoted/ignored
wouldn't put it past r/music

[clayton]

yeah lol /r/music is an absolute shithole

[jusswerjk]

Hopefully this is better than the malkmus ama

Man, do I even wanna know what happened there?

[sound science]

I don't think I'll be around at that time, unfortunately. But i'd be curious to know if he plans on performing any acoustic versions of the Slasher Flicks songs since that's how he wrote them initially!

[Vovenarg]

ooh that would be quite interesting to hear, sounds unlikely but would be awesome.

i'm gonna be in class til the final hour of this. can someone tell me how an ama works? would i still be able to get a question in? would there actually be any chance of him seeing my question anyway?

will you guys ask some awesome questions for us/me please?

[Stanshant]

Charming! Would have nice to do something similar here, for people who have supported his every musical venture.

Oh, yeah, posts like this are why the band doesn't come here any more.

It's a live Q&A.. so if you're not there asking Q's when it goes down you will miss the boat

[Vovenarg]

yeah i get that, i will be there for the last hour. how does the format work? guess i'll find out soon

[lhtd]

I won't be around during the AMA, but I'd be really pumped if some asks:

- After reading that you're wanting to release more live material, is there any hope that re-worked versions of songs (Chocolate Girl, Slippi, Leaf House, etc.) could also be officially released?

- It's been a number of years now with high energy songs via the CHz era. Do you see yourself shifting to make slower and more ambient music anytime soon?

[lucasmoreira]

Imagine if they release a good version of the Glasslands boot

[Stanshant]

WALK LIKE A DOOOOOOOGGGGG

[Tico]

holy shit someone NEEDS to ask about glasslands

[El Camino]

was thinking of a question to ask but figured out that's it's gonna be on at 6am over here. no way i can get up that early

Unfortunately, as far as I've seen from AMAs, only the most highly upvoted questions are the ones that get answered (usually). So it really just depends on the reddit community and which questions they feel like voting to the top.
I could be wrong though idk I don't get on reddit that much.

In my experience you have to get your question in really early if you want it to get answered. I've only ever gotten a question answered during the Jim James AMA, and for that one I was at my computer the exact minute it started. So my advice would be to get someone to post your question for you right at the minute the AMA starts.

Your question also has to be funny, witty, or interesting enough to get upvoted by lots of people, because only the most-upvoted questions will get answered. Sometimes some pretty thoughtful questions get upvoted, but often not if they're very long, multi-paragraph questions.

Depending on the person doing the AMA they will sometimes answer a lot of questions or only a handful. I have a feeling Avey is pretty busy and probably won't spend more than an hour, maybe hour and a half answering questions.

[jetski]

Also, just a tip for everyone: although the AMA technically starts at 1pm PT/4pm ET, sometimes the AMA thread will be posted on Reddit 30 minutes or an hour before that. This is done to give people time to ask questions, and then Avey would start answering questions at 1pm PT/4pmET.

I don't know for sure that this will happen with today's AMA, but just in case. They posted the Malkmus AMA 30 minutes early, if I remember correctly.

[Vovenarg]

oh ok, thanks for the clarifications!

[dio]

ppl should ask what the lyrics are in Duplex Trip Chorus, or if he could release the lyrics through the site or something..

[Chocolate Boy]

I kinda hope it doesn't get a lot of attention because people might ask questions that are answered in interviews. I think he's looking for a different kind of interview. I'm wanting to ask super specific questions but no one except you guys would upvote anything like "How extensively did you really use the monomachine on Down There?" or "Do you practice singing? or keyboards? or just jam and have jammed so much that you built up the skills?"
We should collaborate on good questions and upvote each other, juss sayinnn

[lucasmoreira]

yeah, hope nobody ask him how he wrote My Girls

[Sgt Joe]

i have a question . . .

'why do you make music with a con-man? deakin took my money and hasn't delivered yet after about three years. He is a no good dirty lying rat thief with rat thief features'

it will get a lot of upvotes when i tell kickstarter backers to upvote it

[Sgt Joe]

also he is scum

[Chocolate Boy]

Hey who is going to be there?

[ballparkmanatee]

I most likely will be, can't think of any questions myself but if you have some I'll upvote them for you.

[Chocolate Boy]

Sweet! I'm /u/waterallaround
What kind of stuff have you always wanted to know? I'm asking about monomachine on Down and what books he's been into and I dunno what else to ask either... brevity!
