Yesterday – while all the attention in Australia was dedicated to frocks, fillies and Kate Upton’s whereabouts – Grammy nominated Melbourne quartet Cut Copy took part in a Reddit Ask Me Anything session, discussing the making of their new album, Free Your Mind, celebrity fan stories, and how to best respond to a negative Pitchfork review.
Here are ten things we learned.
1) DAVE CHAPPELLE IS A FAN
2) SOMEONE ONCE TRIED TO STEAL TIM’S WALLET WHILE HE WAS PERFORMING
3) THE USED A BUNCH OF NEW GEAR ON ‘FREE YOUR MIND’
4) THEIR FAVOURITE DRUG IS CAFFEINE
5) DAN’S DANCE MOVES COME WITH PRACTICE
6) THEY’RE COOL WITH NEGATIVE PITCHFORK REVIEWS
7) THIS WHOLE EXCHANGE INVOLVING FORMER BANDMATE AND QWOP DEVELOPER BENNETT FODDY IS DELIGHTFUL
8) THEY ARE ATHLETICALLY SUPERIOR TO HOLY GHOST!
9) THEY ARE MASSIVE NERDS
10) THE WILL TOTALLY DEDICATE SONGS TO YOUR FOUR YEAR OLD DAUGHTER
