Reprint from the SXSW Blog... Young Parker's just so adorable and The Whigs are all up and coming and stuff so I figured it was worth it. Plus I'm in a monster food coma so coming up with something new... not quite gonna happen just now, sorry. Please enjoy...

Parker Gispert might be one of the greatest names ever. I want to be friends with this guy just so I can say it a lot. In addition to having a rad name, Gispert's also quite the little cutie (Phoebe at ATO and I have discussed this at length), and I'm really looking forward to catching the band at the sure to be stellar MMJ/Yo La Tengo/Whigs show.

I feel a bit guilty about reducing talented bands to the base level of cute (I write this thing like I'm 13 again, what can I say), so please check out the most excellent musical side of The Whigs via their video for "Right Hand on My Heart" here.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, The LP Questionnaire...
