Who else thinks Era Vulgaris is the best QOTSA album? Eh? C'mon, who's with me?










...No one?

It was my favorite Qotsa album until LC came out.

EV has probably three of my ten favourite QOTSA songs: Misfit, Screw and Suture.

Never seen this movie, but apparently Qotsa are in it and recorded this ridiculous song.

From a creative standpoint, do you get antsy about that kind of scheduling structure?

I think we’re all so itchy to go back into the studio, in particular because Jon only performed on one song, and we kind of see our future in Jon. His abilities have not been mined in any way, in that there’s so much he can do that takes us into such a weird and beautifully off-kilter position for us. So I think there’s a definite urge to jump back in the studio. I think the hardest part is going to be to regroup and learn how to be home for a second. Cause we really haven’t been home.

When people first heard that Jon was a part of the band, the first thought was of these crazy polyrhythmic blizzards from The Mars Volta, but his first recorded steps with the band were small. So everyone’s really excited to see what comes next.

That’s the thing with someone like Jon, who can bring everything to the table. And some drummers can be so kitchen sink about everything that you almost don’t know what you’re hearing. For me it’s much more difficult… if you’re playing with someone, try to ask them to play one note for five minutes and see if they can do it. It’s one of the most impossible things. It’s so difficult, it takes such skill and concentration to be Jaki Liebezeit from Can. He’s not only one of Jon’s favorite drummers, but one of mine as well. He’s gotta be one of the funkiest, best, most groovin’ best drummers possible. Now if you put him up against someone who’s constantly playing, and do the Pepsi challenge with Jaki Liebezeit, with someone that’s always going off and can’t hold back, people will pick Jaki Liebezeit. Nine dentists out of ten will pick Jaki Liebezeit.

Killer show. Millionaire into No One Knows and Feel Good... into Lost Art were amazing. But my favourite moments were Better Living, Go With the Flow and the closer. Josh seemed really into it. Apparently he'd been sick for a couple of days before the show. I wish they'd played I Appear Missing, but you can't have it all. I Sat by the Ocean and My God is the Sun were the best songs from the new album. I felt a bit underwhelmed by Smooth Sailing.

QOTSA just announced a date (17 Jul) at Merriweather in MD. I definitely plan to go.

That said, I can no longer make the Philly show on 20 Jul. Am willing to sell the ticket for face value (I'll cover admin and shipping costs). PM me if you're interested, I can do Paypal.

Selling my Philly ticket for face value (minus admin charges) if anyone is interested! $45, PM me if interested. Show is a week out!

Chemistry is so good now. Sometimes its as though they don't know how to end Sailing for the best, but the start and middle are so strong I can forgive them for that.
