Roll Call: Marlon Rhine of Silent and Listen
September 2nd, 2009 by Chad Radford in Listening Stack, Music news, roll call
Who are you?
Marlon Rhine, drummer
Describe yourself in three words.
Click track fiend.
Who — dead or alive — would you most like to meet?
Salvador Dali, the single greatest baller of all time.
Who would you most like to slap in the face?
Vince Offer. I don’t really slap, but I feel like this guy may have it coming.
What song do you wish you had written?
“Good Vibrations” by the Beach Boys.
Elvis Costello or Elvis Presley?
Elvis Presley and my decision rests squarely on this John Lennon quote, “Nothing really affected me until I heard Elvis. If there hadn’t been Elvis, there would not have been the Beatles.” I mean no disrespect to Mr. Costello, but it’s tough to beat that sort of endorsement.
LP, CD or MP3?
One day when I can afford the luxury of Vinyl, that’s what I’ll go with.
If you could start one trend, what would it be?
Getting people from all of Atlanta music scenes to support each other. The city is pretty musically segregated based on some pretty silly stuff. This would include getting those people who are always trying to get people to come to their shows to actually go to shows themselves. We gotta support each other!
If you could end one trend, what would it be?
Genre arrogance.
With whom would you most like to play a game of spin the bottle?
The lovely Nancy Khalil of course.
Silent & Listen play the Drunken Unicorn on Sat., Sept. 5 with Dutch Angle and Niagara Mohawk. $5. 9 p.m.
