3. How will you remember 2015? (In terms of music)
I'll remember 2015 by all the rad FAT releases and cool bands we got to tour with.

2016 will have a lot of music to get on file from Druglords, Utters, and something else.
5. What records are you looking forward to most in 2016?
I'm not sure I know of any releases for 2016 other than my own. I am excited for the Druglords new stuff. It's sounding killer so far.
6. How relevant is the physical format record/cd/tape in 2015 and going into 2016? What do you see changing in terms of physical vs. digital discussions?
I really don't pay any attention to that stuff. Maybe I should but it's all so boring. I wish I could say that without sounding like a dick. It's kind of impossible.
