^^^interesting list, thx

wow thank you so much :fuckyou: (just joking)

That was in 1991 though. Now they're only listening to Soulja Boy, Linkin Park and Crazy Frog all day

Honestly, I've gotten so much new stuff to listen to off this forum (as someone else mentioned) that I haven't even had a thought of what the band itself might be listening to.

Though I will say that it would be cool to see Kim and Thurston host a theme radio show ala Bob Dylan.

hmm do they also listen to there own stuff?
can they relex while doing it ? many people (including me ) can not listening to
there own stuff without thinking all the time about it´s quality and sounding most of the time.and it can definitley make you crazy.

I don;t think they listen to their own stuff.
but who knows what piece of ear shattering garbage thurston is listening to now?

I just finished listening to Rain King.


EDIT: I read this thread wrong.

last i heard, thurston was way into black metal.

That's such a predictable list.

what's wrong with predictable if it's fuckin' good? heh.
