Do you have a favorite funbag question that sticks out?

I am both a big fan of indie-rock and a demented sports fan (I really love Chartjunk), so I've always loved that you guys also seemed to fit into this narrow slice of the venn diagram.

Steve: Do you think that your fans pick up on the sports references and terminology in your songs (ie: the secondary stumbles cause the cadence of the count has lead them astray)? Do you meet a lot of fans/contemporaries who are also big sports fans?

Jake: Rip City has been struggling recently and their defence is suspect, do you think they're still contenders in the West? PS The Joggers were awesome.

Hey Chuck, thanks for doing this AMA, I've been reading you for about a decade now.

I listened to a podcast with Bill Simmons a while back and one of you brought up the LCD Soundsystem Doc “Shut Up & Play the Hits.” You said that you believed that you thought that was what you would be best remembered for. Without blowing too much smoke, you’re a widely read, well-respected pop culture critic. Which of these is most true: you believe that documentary will become a "Gimme Shelter" or "Stop Making Sense" level Rockumentary, you believe that LCD would be remembered as one of the great american bands or that pop culture writing has a fairly finite life?

Also, how do I get into KISS? I've never been able to.

Thanks!

They love you too!
