Oh man, they were so good last night at the Troub. Josh and Tyler from Twenty One Pilots stopped by this week to talk about their new album "Vessel" (in stores now), the unique and meaningful story being the band's name, and the orgins of their insanely passionate and energetic live shows.

Favorite things: Music - I like music in the vinyl record format while played on a direct drive turntable through a set ofJBL speakers, Phish Food Ice Cream, sun, beaches, LIVE music, The Simpsons, cutting my own hair, dessert, building things, my dog Otis, good food, and I think doing fun things is fun. The first CDs I ever purchased with my paper route money were:
Johnny Gill “Fairweather Friend” & Paula Abdul “Shut Up and Dance” (don't judge)
MUSIC: these are artists that have influenced me, that I love, or I will always listen to) in no particular order:AC/DC, Run DMC, Beastie Boys, White Stripes, Jay-Z, Biggy Smalls, Beach Boys, Billy Joel, Neil Diamond, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Rage Against the Machine, The Fugees, Vendetta Red, Ben Harper, NIN, Dave Matthews, The Cure, Journey (of course), Led Zeppelin, Modest Mouse, Built to Spill, Jewel, Metallic, Cake, Jungle Brothers, Bright Eyes, Social Distortion, DJ Z-Trip, Kid Koala, Guns n Roses, NWA, Johnny Cash, Robert Johnson, Ludacris, Murs, Ida Marie, The Asteriod Galaxy Tour, The X-Executioners, Bijou, Muse, Weezer, Sublime, Dr. Dre, Band of Horses, Nas, Eminem, Cypress Hill, Joe Purdy, Beck, Love as Laughter,REM, Snoop Dog, Men at Work, Kings of Leon, Airborne Toxic Event, Chris Cornell, Kooks, Killers, Incubus, Dead Sara, Vendetta Red, Machlesmore & Ryan Lewis, Mumford and Sons, Glasvegas, Kitten, The 1975, and the list goes on...
MOVIES/TV:Movies seem to be getting worse and worse and more predictable - so committing 2-3 hours of my life to something that may suck does not happen very often: The Godfather, No Country For Old Men, Fargo, Hoop Dreams, Clerks, Dazed and Confused, Hoosiers, Bronx Tale, Dog Day Afternoon, Platoon...are some good ones.
TV is pretty much all reality disasters and scripted shows on network are pretty bad although cable is starting to figure it out. Shows the cut the muster: The Simpsons, 24 (it's coming back in Summer 2014), Family Guy, Six Feet Under (RiP), Curb Your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld, March Madness, Homeland, Eastbound and Down anything on Investigative Discovery...
What else..? oh! Music!
Submitting Music – Please mail a physical CD* (putting your info on the CD is a good idea!) with brief band bio to:Hey Play My Music!attn: Darren Rose

* I know it's tempting to email an MP3 since it much easier than mailing a CD but when your 6MB song clogs up my in box it will probably just get deleted and I'll think that your band is lazy... Thanks!
