 All:  Yeah!

Chris:  That’s what we were saying.  We were walking downtown this morning and it wasn’t that cold.

 Brandon:  Yeah, I brought a jacket, cause I wasn’t sure since it is Minnesota but we didn’t so.

 Tracey: No, and it was like 40 or 50 the other day so you lucked out.

 Brandon: Wow, I guess we did.

 Lesley: Yeah, right.

Brittany:  We’re used to the cold weather.

 Tracey: Who is your favorite Christian Artist?

 Brittany:  Um, I would probably say “Krystal Meyers” because she is such a fun girl to hang out with. Music wise probably “Bethany Dillion” or…

Chris: MuteMath

 Brittany:  Ahh, MuteMath, I love MuteMan.

 Brandon: They’re pretty cool.

 Brittany:  Anybody else?

 Lesley: I would say, we toured with “Kimberly Perry” and she was a lot of fun.  She’s really great.

 Chris: Music wise, I guess I’d say “Switchfoot”.  I just love their music.

 Tracey: What are the top 3 songs on your IPod playlist?

 Lesley: I don’t think I have a top 3 songs, I hit random where it just plays through all the songs on my Ipod.

 Brandon: My Ipod just broke so I can’t.

 Brittany: This morning.  It broke this morning.

 Brandon: It broke this morning.  I was like “uhh” I couldn’t hear anything this afternoon, we were walking.  Like anything from “Cold Play”, “Ben Folds”, “Kean” so that’s mine.

 Brittany: Anything from Imogene Heap.

 Brandon: Yeah, I was going to say yeah. *laughs*

 Brittany: Stars or Mutemath, anything from them.

 Lesley: I like country music stuff, none of those people. *laughs*

 Chris: Mine is like “Gavin Degraw”, “Marc Broussard,” a little bit of country.

 Tracey: Do you guys like “The Wilkinsons” at all?

 Brandon: Haven’t heard of them.

 Tracey: They sing like “26 Cents”.

 Lesley: I’ve heard of them, but I don’t really know their music.

 Tracey: Them and Bryan White, Bryan White for country, we interviewed him the other day.

 Lesley: Oh yeah?

 Brandon: Cool.

 Tracey: Yeah.

 Donna: Josh Turner, I met him.

 Lesley: Josh Turner? I like Josh Turner. His wife is gorgeous. I like his wife.

 Brittany: She’s like “his wife is gorgeous”.

 Lesley: She is!

Brittany: You would say that.

Lesley: She is gorgeous.

 *Brandon laughs*

 Lesley: Hey you!  Okay sorry.

 Tracey: Where do you see the future of your music going?

 Chris: That’s what we’ve been working on for the past 4 months that we’ve been on break. It’s just really fun to get in. We’ve been writing a lot.  It’s really fun to get in and see what’s coming out. Tonight at Club 3 Degrees, we have some new songs we’re going to sing so.  The first song we wrote was kind of more like an Urban thing, it was really fun to do.  I don’t know if the rest will go that way, but it’s fun to try it.

 Brittany: We’re still trying to find ourselves.

 Brandon: Yeah.

Brittany: Our new selves.

 Brandon: Yeah *laughs*.
