WHY? WHY? OH GOD, WHY?

I'm working on this piece on WHY? for nadamucho.com, and did a brief interview with the man himself, singer/songrwiter/frontman Yoni Wolf. Check it and give me some feedback. How can I make this interesting?



What is your daily routine these days, and how has your life changed since the release of Alopecia?


We have been on tour since Alopecia was released, so our daily routine is pretty much like this: wake up, eat, travel for between 2 to 9 hours, load in, soundcheck, eat, play a show,break down, load out, go to the hotel, sleep. At home, I am a lot less busy.

Your sound has changed fairly drastically over the years, what artists or albums have
influenced your more recent songwriting?

Bob Dylan, Li'l Wayne, Eminem, Joanna Newsom.

"The Hollows" presents some fairly stunning visual imagery of some events that went down in Berlin. How much of your lyrical content is based on real life experiences?

My lyrics are a mix of personal experience, personal experience elaborated upon, other people's experiences who I know/ don't know, things I see on TV, metaphor, extended metaphor, pure fantasy, etc.

Is anticon as a collective and a label still relevant, and what has its impact been on "hip hop"
music?

We are not, nor have we ever been been relevant. That is our appeal. We are perpetually un-now and superfluous.

What level of popularity, both critically and commercially, do you aspire to?

All of it. We want to go all the way to the top in the U.S.A. We want to be the second Black President. But in our case 'Black' meaning sullen and hopeless rather than half African.

What can fans expect from your current live performance?

Mostly we just like to party. Songs. Some acrobatics and synchronized guitar tosses and light fire play, some PG13 language.

Who should be the next President, and why? (No pun intended)

You said it. The Obamanater. Barak Ata Adoni. O 'bomb' A.
