    "Watch out for music. It should come with a health warning. It can be dangerous. It can make you feel so alive, so connected to the people around you, and connected to what you really are inside. And it can make you think that the world should, and could, be a much better place. And just occasionally, it can make you very, very happy." -Peter Gabriel

    Yes! I saw them at Shaky Knees in Atlanta. And they opened a gig for the Hives. They’re good!

    It's completely expected that a teenager would be a little nervous being on the air on a major market radio station and wouldn't be "the best interview." How compelling would you have been at that age?

    He wasn't a good interview but totally understand. 6:00 am on the west coast and 18 years old didn't expect much.  Hell I'm in Philly and I couldn't speak coherently at 6:00 am let alone at 18 years old.  Cool they got him on though.   He did mention he met Olivia Vedder at Ohana. Did his band play there?

    Nick also mentioned they are trying to get the guy from the night before on as well.

    I know I was born and I know that I'll die. The in between is mine.

    Josh Arroyo was on with Preston and Steve on WMMR today.  He seemed like a huge PJ fan.  He said it was his daughter's first concert. How crazy is that?  Her first concert and dad gets on stage to play a song with the band.  pretty cool stuff.
