Probably, exactly how you imagine it would be. 2. What kind of organ and drum set do you use? What year were they made? Yamaha electone YC 45~1970 Gretch Round Badge 1960 3. Why did you move to San_Francisco? It's better there. 4. How do you write songs? Who writes the songs? We attach parts together until they make a whole song. We both write the songs. We are equals. 5. Has anyone ever compared you to the White_Stripes or Quasi or _______? Nope, not that we can remember and if they do, they probably haven't really listened to us. 6. Why the name, Mates of State? It rhymes and it describes two like_minded people. 7. Why do you tour so much? Otherwise we'd get bored. We love playing live. That's where it's at. www.matesofstate.com 031016 ... x they they they had a show and i i i got in free and i i i left before they played played played because i i i don't like their new new new album and so i just stayed stayed stayed to see rogue wave wave wave 031016 ... sabbie and bush is comming to visit his favourite little puppy dog. and the children stood at the back and turned their backs on god. i want to go to canberra with a slingshot and fire mike moores books at bush as he stands and gives his little patronising speech to our politions. did you know, aus has two political parties, and both leaders have instructed their members to give bush a standing ovation at the end of his speech., never mind what they believe. never mind that not all of them agree never mind that APPLAUSE IS ILLEGAL IN OUR PARLIMENT fuck the world is wrong wrong wrong and i can't see a way to fix it. 031016 ... blah-ze democracy sucks. crean will have a minor revolt in the labour backbench if he thinks he wll get a unanimous applause. howard has more direct control over his party, but i would be surprised if the liberals stand as well. this said, i don't really care, so long as someone else does. 031017 ... sabbie ahh babe. i chose to paraphrase veronica, who was only paraphrasing a well known myth, which is only a a version of the arcetype, but i digress. often. my thought for today is: "i cut off one heather's head and another one grew in it's place" it doesn't matter who is in. underneath their natty little suits, they're all the same. i think they're mass produced out of a factory in Worlds End, NSW [go on, look it up] doesn't matter who is in power they all act the same. doesn't matter who is in power they all believe the same doesn't matter who is in power we're all gettin' screwed. 031017 ... silentbob i saw them for free as well, they opened for rainer_maria. they played the one song i knew. as well as a cover of jackson_browne, and everyone including me was like, "Wow, they're covering nico!" because nico covered jackson browne on the royal_tennenbaums soundtrack. but... don't be mislead. 031018 ... silentbob i saw them again last night 040323 ... carrie_nation_state I love their cover of These Days They're so fun.
