What are some musical influences for the Top of the World album? What album made you say, "Damn, I wanna play music for the rest of my life?"

Since I know you guys and your experience in Isla Vista: How do you feel about the current state of IV considering the recent crackdown/riot during Floatopia? When we were there the band-party scene was bands would play for hundreds (maybe a thousand+) during a house party with kegs and good times. 20K kids in a few square miles would go to parties/bands every week. They became friends and fans of their favorite local bands. When they graduated they took those seeds of music with them back home, shared with friends, and it just grew from there... Now it seems like it will be much more difficult for live bands to come out of UCSB/IV vs. a DJ or electronic producer.

I feel like we saw the final high-water mark with Rebelution and Iration as far as bands that will be able to share that sound/experience.

PS see you guys this summer with the boys. PSS please kick Dean in the shin for me but tell him it was per Steph.

K, thanks!

I'm not allowed in mosh pits anymore! I always forget to take off my glasses and I don't have health insurance anymore... OOPS!
