We have had a long history with him and it will continue. i just said what i wanted to the artist and they made it for me. IRT: Please tell us the story behind the amazing photo you chose for the cover art to Someday This Will All Be Yours.Р В РІР‚СњР вЂ™Р’В¬ongleton: here actually is no story to speak of. IRT: Do you feel safer with the Obama Administration in office?Р В РІР‚СњР вЂ™Р’В¬ongleton: I do, simply because heР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s a better president, a smarter guy and somewhat more cut of my cloth. People donР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›t really give a shit about the earth not in any deep way some dickheads claim to. humans just mean they want a nice place to continue to live. ThatР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s one thing that drives me crazy about the idea of 'saving the earth'.nonsense.

I certainly donР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›t thing we will be the ones to do it in, thatР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s for sure. Which one do you honestly feel could be the one that does Earth in first?Р В РІР‚СњР вЂ™Р’В¬ongleton: Oh, IР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›m sure the earth will be here for a good long while. IRT: Of all the disasters alluded to on Someday This Will All Be Yours, IRT: Have you ever lived through a natural disaster?Р В РІР‚СњР вЂ™Р’В¬ongleton: Well sure, I live in Dallas, so IР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›ve seen my fair share of tornados for sure. I guess they would be on my mind right now the most. IRT: What disaster do you fear the most and why?Р В РІР‚СњР вЂ™Р’В¬ongleton: Well, IР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›m in San Francisco right now.lets go with earthquakes. I donР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›t know I guess I could go on, but this seems long winded. The blizzard one is about blind faith and how dangerous I think it is. For example, the tornado song is about capitalism running without regard to human concerns, the lightning song is about how we are attracted to the one person that can break us down the best like a bolt of lightning.I mean what are the chances of that mathematically? Uh letР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s see what else.the common cold is just about avoiding closeness with people-kinda like a fear of commitment song, I guess. ItР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s all encrypted, but it seems clear to me if you make the effort to pay attention. These songs are not about natural disaster. IRT: How are these songs directly related to the disasters they represent?Р В РІР‚СњР вЂ™Р’В¬ongleton: ItР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s purely metaphorical. And I guess that disaster are easy devices for metaphor which is the back bone of all hack poetry. But honest the idea was something I had for so long I canР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›t even recall what gave me the idea. IRT: What was the impetus behind representing these songs with different disasters? What is it about disasters that inspires you to write these song cycles?Р В РІР‚СњР вЂ™Р’В¬ongleton: IР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›ve been asked this a lot, as you can assume.

I felt like that was a good starting point.

I remember reading a quote about Black Flag that it sounded like they were trying to break themselves into pieces with the music. John Congleton: I knew what kinda band I wanted, but I canР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›t really say I ever had a real concept. IRT: How did you come up with the concept of The Paper Chase? For more information about The Paper Chase, visit their Web site at Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™Ed. Congleton via email in regards to his bandР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s new album and its weather-related themes, which really arenР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›t about weather at all, apparently, as he explains to us in an endearingly snarky way. IRT had the great opportunity to communicate with Mr. The Dallas-based groupР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s fifth album, Someday This Could All Be Yours Vol.1, was released this spring on Kill Rock Stars and is one of the finest rock albums of 2009 thus far. The brainchild of producer extraordinaire John Congleton, who has worked with everyone from (to paraphrase Will.I.Am in an interview I did with him in 1998 for CMJ) God (Kirk Franklin) to the Devil (Marilyn Manson) and just about everyone else in between, The Paper Chase is an amazing indie band whose discordant, over-the-top melodies deliver all the pomp and drama of groups like The Arcade Fire and The Decemberists without all the cheese.
