Not a ton of new info (no Unstaged release planned) but some interesting bits (they recorded Muppet-ized versions of "Friends Again" and "Outta My System" what we will someday hear).
This is new, though "grain of salt" time
YANP: You must've kept some souvenirs from your time in the band. If the Smithsonian came calling, what would be the coolest piece of memorabilia you, personally, could offer them?
Tom: Notebook pages that contain the band-created Mab Libs, aka what is actually being spoken at the end of "Off the Record". But they're unfortunately locked in a time capsule to be opened in the year 2084.
Thanks for the heads up, Matt.
Nice interview man. Keep up the good work!
Oooh, lovely, thank you so much! I'll be waiting for those blogs, especially the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe! :)
They can all play each others instruments? I would LOVE to see Jim play the drums.
And so there is going to be a t5 box set! I'd only ever heard rumors! This sin't a rumor to right? Please let it be true...
TT's got the correct 2 songs to keep in their live catalog for the long run :thumbsup:

I didn't even consider that they could all play each other's instruments when I asked that question.

It's not the same as live, but here's a little taste:
