... from Parts Unknown wants us to forecast the future.

"Can you predict which eight schools will be the extra tourney teams this year?" He also said, "PS, every time I see Yellowcard, I'm reminded how similar Matt looks to the lead singer, and it makes me wonder, with your huge music background, did you ever go through an emo phase?"

Yes, Neal mixed it.

Um, this Days Away record, uh, Days Away: Mapping an Invisible World, and obviously Days Away went on to become Good Old War.

Obviously, our management was the same as Yellowcard's, so we had, uh, they were around a lot.

What do you mean?

Because the other day I said, uh, that b- Yellowcard and Dylan Cutrone and some other band, Turnstile or something was coming in, and you were like, "No, not Turnstile.

They're whatever," and, uh, I didn't even know.

I pulled it out of my ass.
