Besides actually playing, I'd have to say getting to see Deerhoof a bunch of times and getting to fill in on drums with Deerhoof and Gruff Rhys. All the moments I've had (besides being away from home for so long and my not being able to sleep on the bus and my dislike of flying) have been pretty awesome, really.

Hello Kliph, are you still getting a daily dose of "Friend Opportunity"? And also thanks for putting Deerhoof on my radar, having listened to FO and Runners Four an unhealthy number of times now, I'm pretty sure I'm a fan for life.

Kliph,

I've never listened to Deerhoof before, but you certainly seem like the person to remedy that. Where do you recommend I start?

Yeah, pretty much. I made myself put it away for a couple of days, but I listened to it right when I woke up this morning.

I recommend starting with their newest record, Friend Opportunity, and working backwards.

Live DVD - YES! I've seen a bunch of the footage and it looks really cool.
Touring - YES! Lots. Dates are starting to get confirmed.
Xmas On Mars - Probably. We'll see how much time is left for that between getting the live stuff edited and touring again.

Speaking of Friend Opportunity (I'm sorry but this has been bugging me for weeks and you're the only person I know who would understand)

How long did you listen to that first tracklisting?

I couldn't get into the album for weeks, I thought everyone who was raving about it was nuts. Then I got the official copy with the real tracklisting, and since then I can't listen to it without playing all the way through. It changed everything.

Kliph, where do you fall in the creative process for the albums you guys put out? What I mean is, do you ever go to the rest of the guys and present your own ideas for new songs and their lyrics, etc.? Any examples that we may have heard?

Well, the FIRST tracklisting is the same except for "Choco Fight" was the second song on it. The rest was the same. The tracklisting that was written on the folder that was holding the map was one they were thinking of using. I listened to it twice and told them it wasn't as good as the other one. Someone at their label said the same thing, so they changed it back.

As soon as I saw this new thread, I really meant to withhold myself from asking this, but any idea when we can expect announcements for more dates? Not curious about the dates themselves, just when can we expect to know about 'em?

Thanks Kliph!

I throw my two cents in, yeah, but I haven't brought one of my own songs to the table yet. I don't think any of them have been good enough.
