Inside The Rockers Studio: Les Savy Fav, Holy Fuck
Today we launch a new feature on Stereogum. We've refrained from standard Q&As until now because they're usually boring. Instead, this is a short and sweet riff on Bravo's Inside The Actors Studio. You've seen it: at the end of every episode, pompous host James Lipton asks the guest to answer ten really stupid questions based on the Bernard Pivot questionnaire. I thought James Lipton made 'em up. Apparently it's Bernard Pivot's fault.
So here's INSIDE THE ROCKERS STUDIO. Same questions. The responses can be as serious or flippant as the artists want. For this inaugural edition, we got Les Savy Fav and Holy Fuck. Both bands will be performing this Sunday at the Stereogum & Ice Cream Man-curated Pool Party at McCarren Park.
JULY 9, 20062 PM doors. See you there!

when you scream "THE SLAPPING SOUND OF A HOT DOG HITTING THE BACK OF SOMEONE'S SWEATY NECK" (as the all caps suggests) in your office, the interns all look at you and laugh and the secretary cries.

Jerks! I totally thought of doing the Pivot thing with bands long before you did! It's not my fault I'm too damn lazy to put things into action. I also thought about making a website where I'd talk about music years ago!
Why can't I ever do things when I think of them? I'd be a MILLIONAIRE by now!
I blame you, Stereogum, for my ineptitude.

I remember semi-drunkenly telling Brian Borcherdt how to play one of his own songs on guitar outside of a bathroom in Halifax in November 2004.
It's a good thing I didn't slap him in the neck with a hot dog....

I remember semi-drunkenly telling Chuck to name-drop Brian Borcherdt on Stereogum outside of Pete's Frootique in Halifax in July 2006.

It's a great lineup, but not the greatest timing with the World Cup final starting at 2pm!
