What album do you like to listen to while making out?

blake: depends on what kind of make-out but, sometimes 'astralweeks' by
van morrison.

John: The Best Of Bread by Bread. David Gates is so dreamy.

What song describes your first kiss?

blake: 'thirteen' by big star - mine was under the desks in first grade.
catholic school will do that to you.

John: Mine was in 5th grade and i can't think of a song that discribes the
situation. I wrote Holly Meyers a note asking her if she wanted to kiss
after school. When we met, I was absolutely petrified with anticipation
and she had to make the first move. Maybe an Alfred Hitchcock soundtrack?

What is your favorite sandwich?

blake: fresh mozarella, basil and tomatoe - with everything really fresh
and some amazing french bread and really dry white wine. ummm.

John: A total guilty pleasure is the grilled cheese with spinach and
chipotle sauce from Millie's in Silverlake.

Do you guys find that being on tour helps or hinders your love life?

blake: we're in a lucky situation of getting to tour as a couple. hotel
rooms and strange places do it for me, so...i would say it helps.

John: yeah. i agree with blake. it's fresh.

Describe your perfect date?

blake: hmmm well that has changed a little. truth be told i think we're
both ecstatic just to see a good movie, have a lovely meal, drink some
wine and come home. leisure's become a real luxury.

John: that sounds perfect. doing all of the above at home is just right too.

What turns you on?

blake: the unexpectedly innapropriate. or the unexpected and
innapropriate.

John: This is too naughty. I shall not reveal.

What song did you lose your virginity to?

blake: i think it was totally quiet, but maybe that's because i was just
concentrating.

John: I belive the record was Murmur by REM. I don't remember a specific
song.

Favorite Superhero?
John: Bootsy Collins

What song turns you on every time you hear it?

blake: almost anything by serge gainsbourg.

John: Especially if Bridgette Bardot is breathing in it.

What do you think is the sexiest instrument?

blake: on its own, definitely the cello. otherwise, if played by the
right person, they're all sexy. i've even seen sexy triangle playing!

John: The tambourine is fucking hot! I also love the cello but maybe
that's more romantic.

Craziest place you've ever made out?

blake: i still appreciate the airplane. it takes some incredible coaxing
to relax on a plane for me, so it's quite a nice thing when it happens.

John: Yeah, that was a long flight. It was exciting-even when the drunk
Afrikaner dude was banging on the door.

Leather or lace?

blake: thousands of of butterflies, blades of grass and rain dripping off
the spout.

John: Lace would go well that.

What do you like to do after sex? Sleep, cuddle, smoke, thumb wars,
eat pop tarts?

blake: have a great laugh, an all-out good giggle and then maybe it's
everybody into the shower! soap! fun! depends where i am, really....

John: "Everybody"!? That sounds like an orgy, Hazard. Where was I? For me
doing absolutely nothing is perfect. I'm never more relaxed in my life
than after.

Why do you think music is so closely associated with love/sex?

blake: i don't know, it's all so primordial, animal, chemical and basic.
i'd think music, sex and love have probably been influencing and helping
to create the other since the beginning of human contact.

John: The beat.

Lastly…..what is your favorite love song?

blake: tough to narrow it down! some favorite sad love songs are:
'for no one,' by the beatles and 'maps,' by yeah yeah yeahs. perhaps
favorite of all-time is 'birthday,' by the sugarcubes. it's not an obvious lo
