Music news Roll Call: All the Saints
Posted by Chad Radford @ChadRad on Tue, Dec 23, 2008 at 5:59 PM
For today's Roll Call we call out Matthew Lambert for All the Saints.
Who are you?
I am Matthew Allen Lambert.
Describe yourself in three words.
Confused. In tune
Who — dead or alive — would most you like to meet?
Neil Young and Mark Grace it's a tie. I love them both equally.
Who would you most like to slap in the face?
Right now I would have to say the rude hourly woman at the check-in counter at Hartsfield-Jackson last night. She was so mean. That's all I can think of. I don't hold grudges very well.
What song do you wish you had written?
"Amazing Grace."
Elvis Costello or Elvis Presley?
A hybrid Elvis would be cool. I would probably take Costello solely because of "Watching the Detectives," but my mother would kill me. She would take Elvis P. over Jesus and Bear Bryant I think.
LP, CD or MP3?
I have to say vinyl. Oh the warmth and crackle. The only real way to listen to a record in its truest form, is on vinyl, through headphones. You flip the record, cue the songs, read the liner notes, smell the cover, all that. But I do love having the ability to make mixes with MP3's.
If you could start one trend, what would it be?
A trend of people spending all of their money on records. Tuck your shirt in.
If you could end one trend, what would it be?
It's pretty much on its way but I'll say the whole "Indie" thing. Vomit. "Indie" is "Hair Metal" or "Emo" or something. It starts from something fresh and cool and then America torques it up to like 11 and shit. By the end it just becomes so heartless and boring.
With whom would you most like to play a game of spin the bottle?
I can't play spin the bottle.
All the Saints play the Drunken Unicorn on Wed., Dec. 31 with Atlas Sound and the Balkans. $15. 10 p.m. Drunken Unicorn, 736 Ponce de Leon Place.
