I will be doing an interview with the guys of Portugal The Man (http://absolutepunk.net/artists/showlink.php?do=showdetails&l=2448&catid=searchresults&searchid=353082) next week. Leave any questions that you might have for the band in the replies.

What do you attribute to the very unique sound of portugal the man?
and
What do you say to those individulas who inquire about the differences between Anatomy of a Ghost and Portugal?

Are you going to be returning to Alaska anytime soon and if so, will you be playing any shows (Say yes!)?
What's the deal with the Star Trek and Star Wars drawings on every sampler you guys give out?
Besides the GAD tour, why always tour with bands that wildly don't match your own musical stylings?
When making the album, what makes you decide to get a guest vocalist to perform (ala Nic from Gatsby's) on it?
To John, do you ever get intensely hot performing because you always seem to pack on the clothes at shows (I always wonder while watching at shows)?
hmmmmmm

Not a question, but John Gourley dresses pretty damn well.

Regarding the picture of John and their merch girl in the studio with Fear Before, will John be attributing any vocals to the new Fear Before cd like he did on Odd How People Shake?
What are they listening to right now? I recall that when I last saw them and asked them, John said something about CCR...I think.
I overheard John say their new shirts were going to have "tits and vaginas" on them, when will those be available to buy?

I can answer the first one - quite often, yes it is really boring. But I think they like it here more than me.

Let's be honest: Is Portugal REALLY the man? Or does his girl whip him around all the time?

Theyve already answered the guest vocal question in an interview before, their producer(casey?) wanted him to do it and they werent too happy about it.

what happened to the new anatomy of a ghost album? there had been talks of a new album and then it kind of died out.
Ask them if the world has ever been the same since Bear vs shark broke up.

I'm not familiar with Portugal's songs but Nic did guest on one song (I think it was Marching but I'm not sure) at the Covington, KY show last week.

I've heard rumors of new members being added to Portugal...is this a possible truth?
also
what direction are you taking with the new material, and when do you plan to begin writing/recording for the next record (which I am very excited for!)

there is a pistachio-colored shirt with a rather long vagina
Has anyone found out where he got the jacket from?
