This is great!  There tends to be a nugget of info released (on purpose) during these AMAs (Jim announced something kind of big during his AMA in 2013 and there was a followup article on COS afterwards) so hopefully something cool happens.

If you have some free time, head over there and have at it with the up and down votes so that we can get some of the meatier questions at the top!

[parkervb]

it will be interesting if there are very specific questions regarding the new album and how the band addresses them.

[goldenyim]

dude, do you even reddit? ama does not equate to massive walls of text/your whole life story. This could get interesting...

huh?

[goldenyim]

Just making a blanket statement in regards to some of the crazy ramblings I'm seeing on reddit.

[itrainmonkeys]

So uh......should we ask about Roll Call being so terrible?

Well, now I know why I never use reddit. Felt like 1994 over there.

[joey_rogo]

I have no idea how reddit is so popular. The format is fucking awful. Can't even look at it.

[parkervb]

it's probably too massive to alter the format.

Some very good information dispensed (this is all off the top of my head and i've been staring at the screen for so long that i can't focus my eyes anymore, so i won't go back and try to find sources for the quotes):

- Both Jim and Patrick talked about how much they enjoy playing multi-nighters.  Jim said that he used to hate them because they would play the same songs in the same city and it felt like a re run.  But he is now glad that they don't have to do that anymore due to having more songs to work with and "loves" them now. 

- On "No Repeats":  Carl said little or no repeats on the multi-nighterse.  Patrick said they enjoy doing no-repeats on multi-nighters.  And Jim said no repeats on the upcoming multi-nighters.

- Spontaneous Curation:  Jim said that they want to do something similar again.

- On the New Basement Tapes at Bonnaroo:  Jim said they are currently working out the songs and trying to figure out how they will make it happen at Bonnaroo, mentioned taht everyone from TNBT is going to be there except for Elvis but also said "Maybe we can fly him in via helicopter" or something

- West Coast:  One of them said that they are currently working out a west coast tour leg that will happen before the next album comes out.

Someone also mentioned something about "stay tuned" on a live DVD

[EverythingChanges]

Jim said he wanted to do an Okonokos Pt. 2 (or another live album)

Reddit is awesome. Pro tip: use the reddit app "Alien Blue." It makes it a lot easier.

Herm knows the drill.

Also, I loved this AMA but I'm kinda sad Carl killed the cortez dream.

[LBSUNFLWR]

Thanks for that, just read it all.
Besides another Live DVD possibility, the most promising thing I read was about the Terminal 5 shows being released some day!

I had the thrill of attending only one and been waiting a long time to hear all the others!!

[itrainmonkeys]

The reddit formatting is fine but definitely seems a bit odd on first look. The more you use it the easier it gets. Also, sometimes AMA's have better coding to make the answers from the official person/group easier to find.

One easy solution is to click on the band's user name and read all of their posts/answers. Then, you click "Context" under their answer and it'll show you just the question and answer.

Either way, some neat news items found in here. I am wondering about what they do for Bonnaroo as there seems to be at least some New Basement Tapes practicing going on.

[TheRoof]

I agree. Reddit's format is strange on first sight...but it is one of the best websites on the entire interwebz.

There are sub-reddits for everything & anything imaginable

Sooooo much information, current news, music, etc. etc. etc.....you'll learn how to "filter out" the "filler" very fast.

I highly recommend using the Reddit Enhancement Suite. I use it through Firefox's browser, but I'm sure Chrome, Safari, IE, etc. have it as well.

PS: Simply browsing the "Front Page" daily (My Morning Routine...see what I did there) is amusement enough to last the entire day!
