without_banana (Panic_At_The_Disco-) все записи автораHave Panic been entertaining offers to do live albums for a few years now?
It was more just a band decision that at whatever point..."if you want to do it or not.," We wanted to do something at some point, so we just decided to record it in Chicago.
Did you want to be cautious about doing a live album too early in your career, since you only had one album [A Fever You Can't Sweat Out] out?
Definitely. That was the thing. The whole time touring on that record, as soon as we got to a point where we could headline, it was still a little bit strange because we only had 12 songs to play. We ended up needing to put some of the other things onstage to try and put together a bigger show. But now, at least we have two albums of material, [so] it just made sense. To do it any earlier than that would seem strange. And at the same time, we didn't want to do it too early [during] the second record's [touring cycle] just because you want to have that time to [let] people [get familiar] with the songs and figure out the best way to play it live and everything. All that kind of stuff went into thinking about when would be the right time.

"Fleet Foxes, Fleet Foxes: This band got a lot of attention this year, and rightfully so. Crazy that this is their first album, they already have such a distinguishable sound. 'Beach Boys meets Bob Dylan' is the catchiest comparison I can make with this band — really interesting lyrics, but also fantastic vocal arrangements and harmonies. 'White Winter Hymnal' is probably my favorite track. I recommend 'Ragged Wood' and 'Quiet Houses,' but really the whole album, though.
