YOUR QUESTION:

Hi Trevor, I think the period when you had time to answer those questions 'en masse' is over, looking at your touring schedule, but it can wait for some other nicely boring itmes. I got two:
1. How do you feel having so many gigs with Buzz? You play the same material each night, is there gonna be a moment when it becomes boring and samey? Do you even have something to talk about, when you spend so much time together?
2. To me "Disco Volante" is somehow omnipotent, if that's a right word (probably not), just transcending lots of other stuff, seems like an opus magnum and something that would be hard to beat, in terms of experimenting and putting so much crazy but quality ideas together. Looking at people getting that tattoo of the cover art, I can totally understand it. There's just something hypnotazing in that one. Feels like you allowed yourself to do anything you ever wanted to do that... to be honest I still relate to that album when I think I could ever do a "Crazy opus" type of album. Do you ever think that way? Or is it just one of them, like any others?
much love dude! hopefuly see you in Warsaw

MY ANSWER:

1. Your first question is three questions; you need to calm down. Playing the same set every night is a vibe and not always what I do. After a week or so, confidence is high and you’re ready for anything. A string breaks? Someone throws a bottle at your head? Forget it, show goes on. Sometimes towards the very end of a long tour the sameness can start to get to you, but every venue looks and sounds slightly different. There’s always variation. We talk about whatever, or don’t. It’s like being married, I would assume.

2. We certainly never thought of it as anything but trying to make an interesting record. Our hearts were in it for sure, and we spent several years honing our ideas, throwing out A LOT. I have no answer as to why it is received the way it is, though I certainly appreciate it.
