they answered my question about if they would release more live recordings!

We hope so! We record them all with multitrack, which is a blessing and a curse. It can sometimes lead to being too picky about mixing before releasing it. We mixed the 9:30 one with Brendan Canty from Fugazi and their live archive is a big inspiration. We talked to them about what a crazy intense undertaking it was and one of the things Ian told me was that they always just recorded their shows L/R, which took away the mixing decisions. If they had done multitrack like we do, they'd never have been able to get the archive ready because of all the decision making involved in mixing. They also were diligent about recording every show themselves. We assumed our fans would take care of it for us, and they've done a great job, but now we feel we should shoulder some responsibility too.

Fugazi connection is crazy, did not realize they worked with Brendan on 930. I can not wait for the archive to officially happen.

oh man this AMA is so good, Fugazi connection is fucking awesome!

i remember them mentioning his name once before in passing, without saying much...

Damn, this was like the best AMA I've ever seen. They've answered so many questions

Posted: **Thu Feb 25, 2016 11:36 pm**

it seems like they are done now
but they didn't say they were done

Posted: **Thu Feb 25, 2016 11:36 pm**

Yeah kinda wish I asked a serious question now. Although I don't really have one so.

It says it at the top Ethmin

Posted: **Thu Feb 25, 2016 11:41 pm**

yeah they edited the original post to say they're done now. didn't respond to ragtime dystw :negative:

We def got some pretty cool answers though!

Posted: **Thu Feb 25, 2016 11:47 pm**

I'm gonna look Panda up on PSN now. Might add him, might not. Actually I only will if he plays Rocket League, otherwise it's pointless

Posted: **Thu Feb 25, 2016 11:49 pm**

wouldnt take it personal Vic, most likely they come into it with a basic rule of only responding to things that are questions. the world knows it's a great cover

Posted: **Fri Feb 26, 2016 12:02 am**

aw thanks Vov!! yeah I think ur probably right! If I were them I wouldn't want to take any time away from the people with questions either, they were obviously on a tight schedule

It's really interesting to hear Geo talk about WKCR and how it influenced/informed the band's early days. I'm a DJ there now and it's cool to know that I'm a part of something that one of my favorite artists was a part of when he was a student

got the flacs... i've never been super interested in lossless songs, so offtopic question: what media player do y'all use to listen? mine open automatically in VLC. i'm sure there's something more appropriate out there.

Posted: **Fri Feb 26, 2016 1:24 am**

Lol, I don't know anything about gaming, but it's pretty funny that his psn has AC in it.

Posted: **Fri Feb 26, 2016 1:26 am**

I have an iphone and I like to keep all my music on it so I just use itunes to listen to stuff, rip my CDs to ALAC so I can transfer them to my phone, etc

even though itunes sucks it's nice to have a one-stop shop for music on my computer

Posted: **Fri Feb 26, 2016 1:29 am**

In case anyone's interested the whole AMA is in CA Q&A thread now. Better format too imo

Posted: **Fri Feb 26, 2016 1:38 am**

^Nice! Thank you!!

Posted: **Fri Feb 26, 2016 1:47 am**

Thank you! Reddit confuses me so it's nice to see the condensed version of the Q&A

i convert FLACs to ALAC so i can play them in itunes. i use a free program called XLD to convert them.

Posted: **Fri Feb 26, 2016 2:30 am**

i didn't know you could do that, thanks guys!

Posted: **Fri Feb 26, 2016 2:44 am**

If you're running Windows, get foobar2000. It's a bit of a beast to learn at first but you can make it look exactly how you like and supports a much wider range of formats than iTunes.

Posted: **Fri Feb 26, 2016 2:56 am**

i'm a really infrequent poster on here (i lurk mostly) but just wanted to drop in and say i'm really enjoying this album. the first few listens didn't click right away but it's happening now, and it's exciting.

i mainly just stick with itunes because i have an iphone/ipod and am on a mac. itunes supports WAV, which i think is what i normally download for domino's download codes since i think they offer that if i remember right. i havent gotten around to dl'ing my lossless download card for PW yet, tho, since im in a place with shit internet currently.

Posted: **Fri Feb 26, 2016 4:51 am**

Damn Geo is totally right, I can hear some Stereolab in PW. Natural Selection is so Stereolab. Can't believe I didn't think of that before

Posted: **Fri Feb 26, 2016 7:20 am**

That AMA was so awesome, these guys rule. They're all so human and real, not pretending to be something they're not. Its pretty amazing that they'll be so open about personal experiences, to art, to politics, to science, to icecream. So cool Panda's gaming comes up so much, they're relatable, but philosophical and intelligent. I bet if they dissed Kanye and led that bullshit tabloid lifestyle mousewheel P4k would give them a 9....

Cultural relevance? No-one got cubism and dada when the artists started pushing new ideas and views atypical

Posted: **Fri Feb 26, 2016 8:34 am**

Victor I'm sad they didn't listen to your ragtime DYSTW... should've linked your bossa BBCM too

Posted: **Fri Feb 26, 2016 9:00 am**

I dont know if its because im high, but as i read the lyrics while listening along, im ready to cry at how good this album is.
