    Caroline v. Daredevil Album Release Show (Eau Claire, June 22)

    1. Jason (Daredevil): Let's get this out of the way. Caroline, pretend we have a problem.
    2. Caroline Smith (Caroline Smith and the Good Night Sleeps): A problem? As in skunk in barnyard, peeyew? or frogs in the gas tank, boom boom?
    3. J: Damn! What are we going to do about that?
    4. C: Peeyew and boom boom.
    5. J: I don't think that's gonna work.
    6. C: suit yourself
    7. J: I recently heard you've been listening to soul music. How is your soul feeling or, if that's too personal, do you have a spirit animal?
    8. C: My soul is feeling more soulful after soulfully writing some soulful soul tune. My spirit animal is probably a whale because they just get to drift and sing all day. sing and drift.
    9. J: What's the best spirit animal you've heard of?
    10. C: An alien.
    11. J: Are you playing any new songs on June 22 when you open for our album release show at the Grand Little Theater that's by that one walking bridge across the river to old downtown in Eau Claire, WI?
    12. C: Yeah, some of our new songs will include "Darkness Darkness", "Animal of Choice", and "San Francisco". These will all be originals that we have written. Yep, 100% authentic Caroline Smith & The Good Night Sleeps material. It will be on our new record coming out June 26th called "The Nature Of Things".
    13. J: Awesome.
    14. C: I know.
    15. J: We'll have a subwoofer at that show. Happy or sad face?
    16. C: So happy!! The happiest face! Like I-just-ate-chocolate cake-and-I'm-smiling-with-it-all stuck-in-my-teeth happy face!
    17. J: If I asked you to say "Hi" to your band mates would you: do it, say you would then not, or tell me you wouldn't?
    18. C: My band and I only talk through music; it's the only form of communication we know. But tonight I will write a guitar solo that delineates me saying hi to them from you. I will call it "me saying hi to them from you".
    19. J: What is with people telling someone else to say "Hi" for them?
    20. C: Alexander Graham Bell would have something to say on the issue.
    21. J: Ok. To wrap up, do you remember that one time when you used that vocal effect to sound like a man?
    22. C: yes. it's one of my favorite things to do in the whole world. because if you're a girl singing into the male modulator, for some reason you sound like an old gay black man. I have no idea about the physics behind that, I just know it's a 100% proven and arguable fact.
    23. J: jason.
    24. C: caroline.

    Daredevil v. Kalispell CD Release Show 05-17

    1. Jason (Daredevil): Shane, thanks for meeting with me for a moment. I'm sorry it had to be under this bridge, with the moss.
    2. Shane Leonard (Kalispell): That's okay. We probably shouldn't try to sit down because of all the moss. I'm going to answer your questions from a standing position.
    3. J: Okay, first question: What is the most exciting thing about your level of excitement for your album release show on May 17?
    4. S: I think Katie Couric said it best when she said, "As it is with one whose excitement begets more excitement, so it is with me."
    5. J: Second question: Did you know it's my birthday on May 24?
    6. S: When?
    7. J: No? Hm.
    8. J: When you think about your music, where do you think you're going if you were inside a landscape painting?
    9. S: So many times when I'm thinking about landscape paintings I think about where the painter was. If you think of that as a "metaphor", you'll find music begs the same question.
    10. J: Can I offer you a jacket? It's a bit windy.
    11. S: Yeah, thanks. These gusts are something else.
    12. J: What if we really were under a bridge right now? What would you do?
    13. S: I'd feel pretty nervous, I think. It's just that I'm supposed to get home right away after work...
    14. J: What is a Kalispell? Don't answer that.
    15. S: Have you been trained in the "triple threat" position as spoken of in basketball?
    16. J: Yes, an important life lesson.
    17. S: It's like that, but unplugged.
    18. J: Ok. To wrap up, just say something great.
    19. S: "As it is with one whose excitement begets more excitement, so it is with me."
    20. J: Thank you for your time.
    21. S: I feel the same way about your time, Jason.

    Icarus Himself played the show in Eau Claire with us. Killed it.

    I also learned that Karl and Brad went to school in Eau Claire and made music then too in a band called Jimmy’s Comet. I probably should have known that. Sorry guys.
