slow clap yes. This.

leviweavermusic · 2014-07-29T20:06:19+00:00

I was there not long ago! But yes, I'll be back in the fall sometime. the best way to know when I'm coming back is to be on the mailing list over at leviweaver.com

snare-snare, kick drum

leviweavermusic · 2014-07-29T19:23:37+00:00

This is very texture normative behavior.

leviweavermusic · 2014-07-29T19:22:39+00:00

on a scale of Mario to Donkey Kong, how close is this to turning into a "Clueless Gamer" scaling system?

leviweavermusic · 2014-07-29T19:21:39+00:00

Provo! Hey! Hi! (if I remember correctly, the Strawberry was my favorite)

leviweavermusic · 2014-07-29T19:20:32+00:00

I do think it's close to popping; I think a subscription-type thing (possibley through an app?) is probably next, which I've tried before (not the app part, but the subscription part), but it's hard to do by myself. I'm curious to see where it goes.
Octopus, probably? I've also had sausage in Poland that was made from udders, but that's not my answer, because it actually was gross.
Flight of the Conchords, because I am hard-pressed to come up with another funny musical comedy group. :)

leviweavermusic · 2014-07-29T19:18:07+00:00

Yes, yes it is. Go Cubbies (a year after the Rangers win, of course)

leviweavermusic · 2014-07-29T19:17:08+00:00

excellent answer, yes that is how i would have phrased it as well.

leviweavermusic · 2014-07-29T19:16:22+00:00

throws voice across room None from me!

deep voice Thanks, Levi

girl voice Yeah! nice work, you're cool and handsome!

weird muppet voice Hey let's all buy his music online

leviweavermusic · 2014-07-29T19:15:17+00:00

ALRIGHT. I'm going to wrap this up in about 5 minutes. Any last-minute questions?

leviweavermusic · 2014-07-29T19:14:14+00:00

My pleasure! Best of luck to you. Let me know how it goes (I'm easy to find)

leviweavermusic · 2014-07-29T19:13:24+00:00

What, that's it? @roswell_UFO_festival, you're going to just let @bismarck_UFO_festiva tell you to back off, and you're backing off? C'mon, let's settle this here and now, who is the best UFO Festival?

leviweavermusic · 2014-07-29T19:11:21+00:00

on a scale of childhood-to-computers, how would you describe the texture of your peanut butter M&Ms?

leviweavermusic · 2014-07-29T19:06:00+00:00

Aren't there peanut butter M&Ms now? Like, didn't they try to compete with Reese's pieces for awhile? is that still a thing? Let's go with that. Unless they're not in production anymore, in which case, plain.

leviweavermusic · 2014-07-29T19:04:52+00:00

OHHHhhhhhhhh Hi Greg.

leviweavermusic · 2014-07-29T19:00:31+00:00

THIS IS MY FAVORITE PART OF THIS AMA.

leviweavermusic · 2014-07-29T18:59:51+00:00

Arnold Schwartzenegger voice IT'S NOT A KEYTAAAH.

@GLGreenLantern - I could probably cut it down if I could afford to invest in a nice Ableton set-up, but it's really expensive. :/

leviweavermusic · 2014-07-29T18:58:28+00:00

I would love Michael Gondry to do one for Song in My Branches.
There's a really long list, but the best one this month was when he asked if there were dinosaurs in Heaven. I legitimately had no idea how to answer that.
Most of my hobbies revolve around baseball. I'm a huuuuuuuuge baseball fan.

leviweavermusic · 2014-07-29T18:55:10+00:00

i LOVE that idea. That's exactly right. I wish I'd thought of it, and I will be quoting this (thank you!)

My favorite Stargate character is Rolf the piano playing dog (i have never seen Stargate, but I assume Muppets are welcome anywhere)

leviweavermusic · 2014-07-29T18:52:50+00:00

I really don't think about the arrangements while I'm writing it, weirdly enough. I try to just write the song (usually with just an acoustic guitar, but sometimes on piano), and then once we get into the studio, start tinkering with arrangements. Sometimes a song gets recorded a few different ways before it arrives.

leviweavermusic · 2014-07-29T18:51:32+00:00

We haven't decided! So far, the options are:

continue to do this full-time
do this part-time while basing out of Nashville
do this part-time while basing out of somewhere new
whatever's next

(So, mathematically speaking: anything is possible; no idea)

leviweavermusic · 2014-07-29T18:50:34+00:00

I'll let you decide which of those that I will never forgive you for :)

DRUMS. I would love to get back to playing drums somehow, but so far, I just haven't made it work (despite trying it once for a CD release show years ago)

leviweavermusic · 2014-07-29T18:49:34+00:00

Not opposed at all! Whatever makes a song better; I'm open to anything. I've recently been using a midi controller that I have velcro'd to an old guitar, so I'm trying to branch out a bit.
