Just doing this now to pass the time in the airport.

1. Favorite song- Impossible question to answer.  It depends on my mood.  Summertime, The Ocean, Ready and Waiting to Fall, The Fisherman Song, Communication are all candidates.  But Communication would usually win.
2. Favorite album/EP- The Everglow!  Closely followed by (M)(a)(e) together.
3. Favorite lyrics- “the clouds are waves”
4. Favorite photo- I don’t look at many photos, but the everglow album art is probably it.
5. Favorite photo/video of them in a concert- umm, the dvd?
6. Favorite music video- same answer
7. Favorite band member- That’s rough, it’s gotta be between dave and jacob since they seem to be most of the inspiration.
8. Favorite quote a band member said- dunno
9. Favorite solo photo of any band member- photos?  it’s about the music!
10. Favorite song from Destination: Beautiful- Summertime
11. Favorite song from The Everglow- Ready and Waiting to Fall
12. Favorite song from Singularity- Just Let Go or Release Me
13. Favorite song from (m)orning EP- The Fisherman Song, Night/Day
14. Favorite song from (a)fternoon EP- Communication
15. Favorite song from (e)vening EP- Seasons
16. Favorite Youtube video of the band- Dave playing Just Let Go acoustic.  Couldn’t have tabbed/learned that song without it, but it’s easier now.
17. Favorite acoustic/live version of a song- Probably when I saw them in Chicago and they played Breakdown and Sean and I seemed to be the only two people in the room who sang the last “here comes the breakdown”.
18. Post whatever Mae-related thing you want to post- my website with Mae tabs!  (http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~rarsenau/tabs/artists/mae/mae_home.html)
19. First song you have heard of Mae (or earliest memory of them)- My friend Ian made me listen to the beginning of the everglow in his car.  I was blown away by the piano.
20. Pick a Mae song you think should have a music video made, and if possible, what would the video look like?- I think music videos are useless unless they’re live (concerts).  So I’d like to see more of their songs professionally recorded live.
21. A Mae song that reminds you of someone or something- literally all of them
22. A Mae song you think is underrated- Communication!  Best songwriting they’ve ever done.
23. Your ideal Mae setlist/playlist- yikes, here we go.  Boomerang, Suspension, Bloom, This is the Countdown, Night/Day—> Summertime, Just Let Go, I Just Wanted You to Know, All Deliberate Speed, Giving it Away, Ready and Waiting to Fall, Anything, (Break), We’re So Far Away—> The Fisherman Song, The Ocean, Communication, The Everglow, The Sun and the Moon.  They’d be tired after that show!
24. If Mae would tour to your town with two other bands, which bands would you like to see with them and why?- oh jeeze.  The Starting Line and Jamie Cullum.  There would be so much musical greatness exploding all over the stage.
25. If Mae would cover a song, what would you want them to sing?- Their style is so unique…  I don’t know that I could pick anything and know it would sound great, so I’ll pick nothing.  Write new music instead!
26. Favorite Mae apparel you have bought or are dying to buy- My sweatshirt from their last tour.
27. Have you seen Mae live? If yes, tell us about it. If not, why?- Saw them in Chicago.  They got cut short and I didn’t look around to find Dave’s acoustic performance after the show, but it was the most emotional concert I’ve ever experienced in my life.
28. Other bands you discovered because of Mae- none because of them.  I guess they eased me into Coldplay indirectly though.
29. How did Mae change your life?- there’s no way to answer this question.  not because they haven’t (they have), but because they did it in an indescribable way.
30. If you could tell the band anything, what would it be?- It’s rough and unfortunate that you decided to no longer be together, but it was a necessary decision.  I guess I’d say that I don’t need you to tour to enjoy your music.  You all have easy access to recording equipment, why not write songs over skype!  Then record it on your own stuff and pass it around.  I’d buy an album that developed like that!
