comic strip | panel 1 - KULA: Kevin, I’m a huge fan.  First, I have to ask, the lyrics of “Spiral Away”, so moving.  I mean, I wept the first time I heard– |comic strip | panel 2 - KEVIN EDO: I copied them off a condon ad I saw sitting on the can in Detroit.
KULA: W-what? |comic strip | panel 3 - KEVIN EDO: “Kevin,” I thought.  “You spend all this time, you know, thinkin’ a words, when there’s all these words already written all over the place!” |comic strip | panel 4 - KULA: But… y-you… there’s….

Post-show with Kevin Edo

comic strip | panel 1 - KULA: Great show tonight, Kevin.  Now this tour is for a live album, right?
KEVIN EDO: Yeah.  But we’re not playing or singing live during the shows. |comic strip | panel 2 - KEVIN EDO: So the album’ll be live recordings of pre-recorded songs, with a little crowd noise in the background. |comic strip | panel 3 - KEVIN EDO: We charge people for CDs, we charge them to hear the same recordings at our shows, and now we’ll charge them to hear their own damn clapping. |comic strip | panel 4 - KEVIN EDO: It’s either interesting conceptual art… or a really dick thing to do.  Either way, it’ll be out in September.  Listerine strip?
KULA: No… no thanks. |
