Favorite new band of 2006
Mew, from Scandinavia. They're huge in Europe, but I just found out about them, It’s breathtaking fantasy rock.
Favorite new catchphrase
I'm tired of these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane.
What are you going to rename your adopted African baby?
Dracula. I've always said, “If I have a kid, I’ll call him Dracula”
Man-crush of 2006
Johnny Depp. He's been a steady winner for years now. Ask a lot of bands in black, they'll probably tell you him.
Favorite new toy
I got a Sidekick III, but it’s really just a Sidekick II that's black. I love it. You can AIM people back home for pennies.
Trend you're most sick of
What are hipsters doing these days? Oh, right: the ironic mustache! Not that there’s anything wrong with a real mustache.
Favorite sign of the Apocalypse
This video I saw of Kevin Federline listening to “PopoZão.”
Most outlandish purchase of the year
I got the entire original Star Trek TV series on DVD last night. Our record came out, and I wanted to get myself something nice. As if I didn’t already have enough nerdy shit.
Country the U.S. should “liberate” next
None. I think we should send a country some cupcakes. You think some cupcakes would cheer up North Korea? Kill ‘em with deliciousness.
Funniest YouTube video
I really hate physical violence, but there’s this one where this kid is talking shit forever to this other kid, and the dude gets into this weird jujitsu pose and just knocks him out with one punch.
Ambition/hope for 2007
Quit smoking. That's my goal.
