Roll Call: Pelican
November 30th, 2009 by Chad Radford in Music news, roll callWho are you?
Trevor de Brauw, guitarist and merch. person for the uncanny Pelican.
Describe yourself in three words.
Pure, unrelenting, sarcasm.
Who – dead or alive – would you most like to meet?
The Marquis de Sade. I’d like to tell that fucker that reading The Misfortunes of Virtue was a total waste of my time in addition to being a huge bummer. Why couldn’t he just cut that Justine a break? On a more positive note I would love to hit the vodka with my personal hero Fyodor Dostoevsky.
Who would you most like to slap in the face?
Sarah Palin. On television, preferably.
What song do you wish you had written?
“Game of Pricks” by Guided by Voices, quite possibly the most perfect song ever written.
Slayer or Metallica?
The question would be impossible were it not for the fact that Metallica’s recorded output over the last 20 years has veered toward the lacklustre. From the perspective of someone who loves records of both bands with fervent intensity, I would rather sit through Slayer’s newer material than Metallica’s – I award their consistency by choosing them.
LP, CD or MP3?
Seriously? Do people still listen to CDs and MP3s?
If you could start one trend, what would it be?
There were a number of years where I tried to get people to refer to marijuana as das weedenheimer. I was hoping it would make it to the frat world and that I could then turn around and make fun of those people for saying something so incredibly moronic.
If you could end one trend, what would it be?
People DJing with MP3s. Or CDs for that matter.
With whom would you most like to play a game of spin the bottle?
My lovely wife. Ideally the bottle would contain a nice imperial stout
that we could then share.
Pelican, Black Cobra and Dissapearer play The Earl. Mon., Dec. 7. $10 (adv). $12 (door). 404-522-3950.

Perhaps no one listens to Pelican MP3s anymore.
