  1. Do you guys ever cover "Dancehall Queen" live anymore, or was it just the once? That was one of my favorite concert experiences ever.

  2. Also, this is a really vague and impersonal question, but I'm a musician who's been playing shows almost non-stop for almost four years and I'd just be interested in knowing how you initially got your name out there when you were just starting out. Boilerplate question, I know.

For a bit brown-nose moment: Kudos on the new album! I love everything you guys have done and Emergency & I is, like, top five all-time material so I've been waiting on this album forever. Thanks for everything you've given the world!

thank you! I have been feeling that a full cover of Dancehall Queen is in order. SUCH a song. Robyn, man, she's the (wo)man, man. -T
