places.
So naturally I had to interview Dropping Daylight.

Very…we are always getting more in tune with what our
fans like hearing.
8. What are your thoughts on file sharing and the mp3

I think its done a lot to broaden people’s musical

World Domination…or not. Hopefully just more tours.

The above mentioned Northrup Auditarium gig in
Minneapolis.
16. Who have you guys enjoyed playing with the
most?
We loved playing with Motion City Soundtrack…the music
fit well together and the fans were insane.

the album?
We have no idea…we don’t really listen to the radio.
