[The] series is set in a fantasy universe based on the Australian landscape I've known all my life, rather than Europe or North America. It's not, however, based on local indigenous traditions. I like to think that it's something new, an alchemical blend of several very different cultures. |
Having extra time to get started has made things easier. I have time to make breakfast instead of grabbing just a small bowl of cereal. |
I turned around on the inbound and wondered how this man got open like that. So I get there and I didn't make it, I guess. |
It's energetic rock 'n' roll. We try to be as original as possible, and we try to make music that we would like listening to ourselves, and hopefully other people have the same tastes we do. |
It's just nice to have someone who will have our back who will actually listen to us, help us out. |
They talked about taking our heart, about not even making us quit because we already knew we were going to lose. We just came out here with a lot of effort, a lot of hustle, to show that we're in this for real. We're not no punks. |
This opportunity to work with the Scouts allows the instructors to share what they know and practice interacting with different age groups. The Sailors wanted to volunteer and give back to the local community. |
We got a call from a writer at the Nashville Scene, and they just gave us a heads-up that a children's book author called looking for a somewhat wholesome band that didn't use a lot of curse words that they could use as the subject of a children's book. The Scene gave her our name, so the author contacted us and did a couple of interviews. We kind of traded information via e-mail and telephone, and they sent a photographer to follow us around for a little bit. |
We had a little run after that. It picked up my team and gave them energy. I believe we're ready to go into the ACC and do pretty well. I'm in shape. I've just got to prove to (coach Al) Skinner that I'm ready to get the minutes I deserve. |
We had to win or we would have headed home looking like fools. |
We had to win. We couldn't go back to Boston looking like a bunch of fools. |
We just look for indicators that may tell us that someone's impaired and we try to take 'em off the road. |
We're in this ACC (race) for real. |
We're new in the ACC, and everybody's trying to show us we don't belong here. We're trying to come in with a bang. |
We're proving ourselves right now. We don't get a lot of respect usually so we're trying to earn it. |
