Sumner Brothers
are Brian and Bob Sumner, who are bridging the gap between past and present. The siblings put their own spin on the sounds that influences their country-folkrock. Replacing acoustic with electric guitar and shots of well placed energy keeps their music moving. Everything that country was and will be.
Phil is a friend of ours and one of the best singer-songwriters around. His music is comforting. Sad but comforting.
I’ve never had a bubble bath. Not one that I can remember anyways. There was a time a couple years back when my neck was all messed up. I use to take a regular bath, have a beer and listen to Bach’s «Cello Suites».
Never got into that one either – probably «A Fine Romance».
I can’t remember the last time I was in a club to be honest. But if they’re playing any of the Britpop stuff I don’t mind hearing that.
I’m assuming I’m on Acid or something. Maybe it’s different in Switzerland. How about «Voodoo Chile».
I’d invite a bunch of friends over for a BBQ and put on «At Folsom Prison». Put it on repeat. Stay up late and eventually pass out.
By myself? Anything to keep from imagining the sound of a baby crying. Maybe I’d whistle «For He's A Jolly Good Fellow» or something.
I’ve never owned an mp3 player and jogging with a Discman is a joke.
In this case I’d probably start singing something myself. It’s not everyday that you’re love sick, so maybe it’s a good time to write something down.
Never really got into that – but if I had put some thought into it maybe it would be something of «The Bends».
I’m the best pingpong player I know. So I’d let my opponent make the choice . Maybe it would inspire him or her, even the playing field a bit. If they insisted that I had to chose, it would be «The Payback».
I’m usually staring out the window watching the wing and praying for my life. Last time I was on a plane I was listening to «Your Emotions».
If I’m staying in bed I’m probably hung over. Preferably nothing. If I had to pick a song, then something without any bass in it. And it’s got to be at the right volume. If it’s too quite you’ll strain to try and hear it, if it’s too loud it will make your head pound. «Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain» could work.
We don’t have subways in Vancouver.
I’m lucky enough that my girlfriend wakes up before me. So she wakes me up. As long as she wakes up on the right side of the bed it can be quite pleasant.
dog / hippo / grizzly bear / crow / turtle – the really old ones.

That’s an oxymoron is it not? losing my best friend / losing my grandfather / losing my other grandfather / losing my grandmother / losing my dog.
Capilano River. This is actually in North Van which is pretty much the end of the world around here. It’s just hundreds of miles of mountains beyond that. / Cypress Mountain. Also in North Van. / Lynn Valley. Also in North Van. / Horseshoe Bay. Just past North Van. This is where one of our ferry terminals is. If I’m here it usually means I’m going on vacation / White Rock Beach. White Rock is where I’m actually from, which is about an hour south of Vancouver. It’s a quiet, artsy, beach town, which makes it real livable and unreasonably.
Everyone knows this is impossible but my first one is in stone.
McDonalds / Subway / Tacotime / Burger King / Chinese food at the super market. Just kidding – I can’t afford restaurants.
Wish you’d asked me my favorite songs by The Stones. Just kidding.
«Seinfeld» / «Family Guy» / «The Charlie Rose Show» / «The Sopranos» /anything on the History Channel
landing my girlfriend / quitting my day job / having people want to hear our music / that's about it as far as victories
