I'm going to be interviewing Idiot Pilot (http://www.idiotpilot.com) tomorrow about their upcoming album, Wolves. You know how we do here at AP, so if you have questions, leave them in the replies and I'll do my best to get them answered. Thanks!

I remember reading somewhere that you might extend your lineup for live gigs one day...could that be the case for the new songs or are you still capable of playing with just two of you?

I have nothing really to ask except will you ever rerelease the Silent Film [EP] ?

What direction does it seem your album is going so far sound wise? Can we expect any big differences in it?

how difficult is both the new and old stuff to pull off live with 2 guys, and would you ever consider permanently adding musicians to partake in the writing process?

Shhhhhh!

At what point (since you have known each other for a long time) did you decide you wanted to make a band? And how did you come up with the type of music you presented in "Strange We Should Meet Here?"

Are there any difficulties being in a band with someone you've known your entire life?

In Marcus Hoppus' podcast, you guys said that you were recording before your label wanted to. Why is this? Do you feel you feel more comfortable in the studio? Don't like to perform live? Your label simply didn't want to invest in a new album yet?

What was your thinking and ideas behind "A Day in the Life of a Poolshark" video? It seems a very strange concept, where did you get it?? Was it the director's idea?

If you were to show someone a song, and one song only, to represent the kind of band you are and music you have released, what song would it be (I read the question somewhere, thought it was a good one).

If you could be in a band's footsteps (music wise), whose would it be? In simpler terms, if you could write any band's music, whose would it be?

i would ask them how it was working with the deftones or more specifically chino on the deftones rarities and b-sides cd. or ask how it felt being approached by a band that you admire, to work with them b/c from what i hear chino heard their version of "teenager" live and asked them if they wanted to do a remix together to put on their album

Is the version of the song "Wolves" that they played while touring pretty much the same as the one that will be on the album? Has it changed at all?

Why do so many great bands come out of Bellingham, WA?

Will there be any push to get exposure for the new album via mainstream radio play?
