Matt Dickey: A leg, because losing an arm obviously interferes with playing musical instruments.

WHAT WAS THE LAST GOOD BOOK YOU READ?

MD: The Information, by Martin Amis. It was horrifying.

HAVE YOU EVER SHOPLIFTED? WHAT DID YOU TAKE AND WHY?

MD: Of course not, that's against the law.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE RECORD STORE?

MD: Rhino Records, Claremont, CA.

HAVE YOU EVER BOUGHT ANYTHING FROM A TELEMARKETER?

MD: No.

WHEN YOU'RE TRAVELING/TOURING, WHAT DO YOU LISTEN TO -- RADIO, OR CDs/TAPES? IF YOU PREFER THE RADIO, WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR?

MD: Radio (no cassette or cd player in car). I listen to classic rock, metal, and oldies.

HAVE YOU EVER AVAILED YOURSELF OF A HOTEL'S GIDEON BIBLE?

MD: Not really. But my brother vandalized one once. He drew pictures in it of some "saints" that he made up. Then his girlfriend took it into the front office of the motel and complained about the dirty pictures.

WHAT'S THE WORST JOB YOU'VE EVER HAD?

MD: I worked the lunch shift at Subway for a guy from New Delhi named Barry. He would point at girls walking by out in the parking lot and say stuff like, "the girls, you have to fuck them, you know?" He smoked a lot, and his wife would say, "Barry, how come you smoke? You gonna die!" I guess the business didn't do too well, because a couple years later I saw Barry working at a telemarketing company. I tried to go up and talk to him, but his headset-wearing supervisor stalked over to him and said something like, "gotta keep makin' those calls!" Barry got back to work.

NAME A MUSICIAN OR GENRE WHOSE POPULARITY YOU JUST DON'T GET.

MD: Sensitive alternative rock (i.e. Goo Goo Dolls, Matchbox 20, etc.)

WHAT ASPECT OF YOUR PERSONALITY IRRITATES OTHERS THE MOST?

MD: I don't have very good social skills. That irritates people a lot more than you'd think it would.

WHO WOULD WIN IN A FIGHT: YOU, OR RICKY MARTIN?

MD: He's clearly in better physical shape, but I believe I'm more vicious. And I have a gun. Therefore I would win.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH KIDS TODAY, ANYWAY?

MD: Not enough of a sense of humor.

Matt Dickey is Überhund's guitarist/vocalist. According to Splendid's Andrew Magilow, "From crashing crescendos to loping melodies, there’s no mistaking the distinct sound of the Überhund as it chases you down, pounces upon your chest and applies an unforgettable lambasting of jilted post-rock deconstruction." Their latest album, Inexpensively Embalmed, is available in all really well-stocked record stores.
