Interviewing Head Automatica Next Week
Posted: Friday, June 16th, 2006 in Daryl Palumbo and Head Automatica | Post a CommentAre you sick of the same questions being asked when someone interviews Daryl from Head Automatica? I know I am.
So next Thursday I will be interviewing Head Automatica and I would like to have your input! If you want to have any questions asked, please do this:
On the comment section of this page, please leave your valid e-mail address, your name, and your City and State (as I may make reference to you as I ask).
Preferably, don’t ask questions that have been asked before or are unanswerable (such as What’s the status of Glassjaw?)
Also, don’t be afraid to ask more than one question. I will hand pick the ones that are worthy.
Go nuts…

I’ve heard rumors about Daryl indulging in some less-than-straight-edge behavior in recent years, which is understandable. Is drinking, etc. dangerous for people with Crohn’s disease? I would hate to see you spending any more time in the hospital!

Whose idea was it to include the remix of Beating Heart Baby at the end of Popaganda, and how do you feel about this?
Daryl, you have appeared on songs by many different bands, including Christiansen, Every Time I Die and Finch. How often do you get offers from bands, and how do you decide which tracks to appear on?
Daryl, why did you decide to get involved in the Roadrunner United Project? Is it true Glassjaw’s relationship with Roadrunner Records was strained towards the end?

There is an apparent difference in both HA albums. Both almost having completly different sounds. Is this something that will continue with future albums? Between all the tracks that were cut from both sessions it would seem you could make a very dark and much slower record? Is this a possibility?

4) Where did Head Automatica play their first show, and how did it feel…nervous, exciting…ect
