Interview with Explosions in the Sky

This is not exactly an official face to face interview with Explosions in the Sky. (pff!) Although I wish it was... Since I find myself totally hypnotized by their music, I'd do anything for an interview, be it official or not. (hmm...) But Temporary Residence Label was kind enough to send me their "finest moment of the past year" list.

Chris Hrasky (in no particular order):
* The Arcade Fire
* Eluvium and his dog
* seeing Broken Social Scene play live
* Terlingua, Texas
* Canada
* Adem and his friends
* the Lazarus record
* Big Bend National Park
* driving from NYC to Boston with JDV
* the new haircut of Esteban Rey

Munaf Rayani :
1. coming home
2. friends all over the planet. . . and in space
3. the arcade fire - funeral
4. dizzy rascal
5. adem (live and on disc) - home songs
6. stereo skateboards
7. flaming lips at all tomorrows parties
8. carlos torres
9. my invention - a fool looks at the finger that points to the sky
10. sitting on the porch

Mark Smith :
10. sideways (the movie)
9. the friendship motel somewhere between lubbock and dallas (the last place we stayed on tour this year before going home after seemingly fifteen years of touring)
8. all tomorrow's parties in the u.k.
7. dirk nowitzki/kevin garnett
6. seeing the billy bob thornton football movie with jeremy in nyc on opening night
5. the singers who made my year: devendra banhart/sam beam/destroyer/lazarus/animal collective/sufjan stevens/mf doom/gravenhurst
4. us explosions getting onstage to sing "these are your friends" with adem in omaha
3. shooting bottle rockets down an abandoned mineshaft in the texas desert at night
2. infinite jest (david foster wallace)
1. getting engaged
