Via: Chart Attack
There's some interesting quotables to be taken out of Robert Schneider's recent talk with Chart Attack. Pretty funny to learn that Schneider's "Stephen Stephen" song was apparently written way prior to his appearance on The Colbert Report being confirmed:
"I wrote the song a few months ago. I don't know what enticed me to do it. It seems like a lot of bands in the '60s, like the Kinks, recorded songs for TV personalities. So I thought it would be a fun, kind of cute, thing to do. I thought maybe, in a best-case scenario, he'd mention it on the show because his character is so self-obsessed."
The highlight of the piece, though, is hearing about a formative Cheap Trick concert he attended back in the day. Sure, he name drops like a mofo, but I'm willing to let it slide:
"In fifth-grade I went to see Cheap Trick play with my friend Jeff Mangum, who was in Neutral Milk Hotel . . . I met Will Hart [of Olivia Tremor Control], who I formed Elephant Six with at that same concert, so it was really a seminal point in my life."
