Seattle singer-songwriter, Jon Auer, from The Posies and Big Star, is heading to Australia for a February tour.

Here is the rest of our interview:

How will you choose the songs for your sets on this tour?
JON: I’m thinking about rounding up fifteen of my neighbors and making them each wear a t-shirt sporting a song title from Songs from the Year of Our Demise scrawled on the front with a chartreuse Sharpie™. Then I’ll take them to Volunteer Park and with their backs to me, randomly arrange them in a large trapezoid on one of the fields of grass. When I am satisfied with the shape, one by one, I’ll stab them in the back with a lawn dart. If all goes as planned, once I get out of jail I should have a pretty cool randomly generated set list.

How do you deal with jet lag?
Denial. Never underestimate the power of denial, my friend.

Do you know Kung fu?
Of course I do, but I also have a brown belt in Bitch Slapsan-Do, far more deadly I assure you.

Do you think you will come back with an Australian accent?
No, but I may come back with a throw rug or two.

If Yoda fought Gollum, who would win, and why?
The answer of course is Chewbacca, arguably because he has the best facial hair. And he’s like really, really tall.

Anything else you want to say?
Two things: 1) Can you get yourself to Volunteer Park and 2) What size T-shirt do you wear?
