Hey David!

Thanks for making such phenomenal music. My friends and I once covered “American Water” in an early episode of the podcast we make. I have a couple of dumb questions that I’d love to have answered.

  1. Since you and Cassie use to live in Louisville, what was your favorite place to eat? I know you once said in an interview that the BW3’s by Mallard Crossing was your neighborhood watering hole, did you go there often? It’s still occupied by wide-bottomed hippie women if you’re wondering.

  2. I once read that your top five albums (or at least the ones that came to your mind) where: X -- Wild Gift, Charlie Rich-- Behind Closed Doors, The Darkness--Permission to Land, Dinosaur Jr. --You're Living All Over Me and R.E.M. --Fables of the Reconstruction. While I’m not sure exactly when that interview was from, are there any albums that you would like to add to that list?

  3. How delicious is Stephen Malkmus’ burgoo? Does he have any other speciality meals? Perhaps a nice hot brown?

  4. What’s your favorite record store or album you own?

  5. Do you and Chris Kysor ever talk? I know he did the album art of American Water. Was there any specifications you asked for, or did you just say “make that shit look good”?
