i kind of want to ask "how'd you like to be all alone and drowning," but that's so ten years ago. i haven't heard the new album yet, so i can't ask anything about that either. so maybe i'll decide something later.

I'll go ahead and ask what everyone wants to know...Ursa Minor release date? :)

Do you know Ultragrrl? How do you feel about her comments?

and me and my older sister love you, she's 24 and like almost cried when we went to pick up Ursa major

First off thanks for the great music. Secondly what can we expect from Ursa Minor as far as sound? Also my g/f graduates college in like 2 months, any good advice for her haha?

Like everyone else I love the album!!

So excited for the new album! Can't wait to hear what's next.

Love the music, but have you ever given consideration to putting on a longer live show? The last few shows I've seen have been roughly 1:15- considerably shorter than most headlining sets.

Stephan,

Just wanted to ask what kind of shift you've seen in your fan base given how long you've been making music (aka did the fans grow up with you, or are you still appealing to younger fans, or is it a fusion of the two)?

What are your thoughts on the "scene" today, and who are some of the more recent bands you've been listening to? Do you hear your influence in a lot of the bands that are popular today?

Finally, what made you come to AP.net for an interview?

I'll probably post a question later, but thanks Stephan for doing this! I've been a fan of your music since I was 10.; at 22, I still love the songs but I've also developed such an appreciation for the meticulous and passionate way you write the music.

Hopefully I will make it down to see you and Tony tonight too!

Hey Stephan, when can we expect to hear Ursa Minor? I'm excited to hear it after hearing the new record.

What's in your Ipod/cd player?

I saw you guys in New York awhile back, amazing show!
When are you guys doing a national tour?

hello stephan! i wrote you a message yesterday on the 3eb website i hope you get a chance to read it. tonight i am camping out in state college pa to get tickets to your october show and im working on a set list for the contest on your website. i can't wait to see your show next month and hopefully ill have front row center seats. by the way, prepare yourself for the #1 party school in the country i'd be glad to show you around

Stephan, I haven't stopped listening to UM since I bought it---so worth the wait. Just wondering but what is the inspiration behind 'About to Break?' There's so many scenes in that song that it interested me where the lyrics are coming from.

PS-Please come to Indianapolis again ASAP; everytime I'm at your shows I feel like I'm in my own personal heaven.
