Q&A with David Cook From My Favorite Highway



J-14 hung out with David Cook, the lead singer of My Favorite Highway before the band's show in NYC. He dished about the re-release of MFH's album, How To Call A Bluff, their summer tour, Taylor Swift, and more!

J-14: What made you want to add two new songs to the re-release of How To Call A Bluff?
David: Those two songs are special songs that were written for the second go around of the record. "Go" is a super fun song. It's really self-indulgent. It's a song about my personal faith and my struggle with who I want to be and achieving that. "Dreamer" is about someone you love and being there for them no matter what, convincing that person that you're not going anywhere. There's something about that song that's special, and everyone seemed to really connect with it.

J-14: Your new album sounds very interactive -- like MySpace in CD form.
David: Exactly. You'll get to access a mini My Favorite Highway site where there's a lot of stuff. We're going to be doing contests, ticket giveaways, and more. It's interactive and people who buy the CD are really going to get a lot of it for a long time.

J-14: Can you tell us about your summer tour?
David: We're going to be going on tour with a band called Danger Radio in May. We're also playing Bamboozle in the beginning of May. Then we're going to be on tour with The Cab all of July and the beginning of August.

J-14: Your Myspace blogs say you've been listening to Fearless by Taylor Swift. What makes you keep that album on replay?
David: We love that record. She's a great songwriter. I think everyone can relate to songs like "Fifteen" and "The Best Day." I love that song. I'm not a fifteen year old girl, but there's something in those songs that I can relate to. She's an excellent songwriter. The record sounds amazing. She's a great vocalist. We were driving down to play a show in Newport, Virginia at the end of January and we listened to that CD all the way down and on the way back. It's a great CD.

J-14: Is she someone you would love to collaborate with in the future?
David: Absolutely. I like to do as much songwriting with other people as possible, and she's someone I would personally love to song write with.

Jesikah? You here?

Uh-huh.

I have a question for you though.

On the Q/A you are on with Tina, did you just blame me for impersonating so Tina wouldn't be so p!ssed? LOL I don't care if you did, JW. LOL cuz if it wasn't you then there is someone else...LOL

I lovee My Favorite Highway!!!!
They are amazing!
Calendar Marks, and Getaway Car are my favorite songs

Hey Jesikah! nope that was me LOL

Sorry for the late reply, oh yeah remember you asked me what my fave Jesikah impersonation was? LOL The "I love to eat sperm" LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was IN-GENIUS.

Um, I have a question. Do you think you could stop impersonating me for like, maybe a few days? I just think people are getting bored with it.......but on like, Saturday, impersonate me about the sperm thing. LOL I LOVE THAT!!!!!

I think if you take a break from the impersonating for awhile, and then do it like in a few days, it may have more of an effect and then that=LOL

LOL it came to me so I had you say you liked to eat it. LOL

Yah, I kinda realized that too, like, they're just ignoring it. LOL

I'm not really supposed to tell you this, so don't tell Rochelle if you talk to her again sometime. But Rochelle is kinda mad at you right now. LOL

This website REALLY needs to be better. LOL

YAY!!! I'm glad you are FINALLY back. lol

You know why? Because I want to chat with Rochelle REALLY badly.....but I don't know where she is and now shes mad at me. Cr@p. LOL

So how is your band?

If you want to chat with her, just pick a post, and I'll force her to go on it. LOL

My band??? LOL I don't even really do that anymore. LOL I just write the songs and then just like kinda not really do anything with 'em. LOL all my songs were so weird before when we were trying to freak people out, but now I actually put some thought into it. LOL

LOL I remember "Canadian Loser" LOL

Hmmm....ok what about.....Jesse James??? LOL

Canadian Loser was genius. I really did hate you LOL it felt so good to say it. I'm like working on a better song, but I only have like 5 lines written down. LOL it's so funny. I just don't know what should come next!!!

Ok you are my friend, right?

Because I kinda need your help.

Sure...

What do you need me to do????? LOL

I like this....

hehe *evil grin* >:) LOL

Hmmmm.......go up to GG and impersonate her apologizing to Bailey, saying it was kinda her fault as well (GG's fault not Bailey's). And also apologize to ME saying that it wasn't all my fault entirely much to people's dismay LOL

IK people will think it will be me, but I'll swear to them saying it WASN'T me.....which it really wasn't technically LOL

But if you don't wanna do this, thats ok LOL just tell me. :)

Guess I didn't have to impersonate. LOL

Everybody's acting weird....

IK THEY ARE!!!!!

LOL Yah GG and Bailey are ignoring me.....LOL

LOL I love that impersonation...the sperm one. LOL

Hmmmmm...okay...I can't believe it....but I've ran out of impersonation ideas. LOL

LOL PA-LEASE!!!!!! YOU'RE JESIKAH!!!!! you'll think of something. LOL

LOL I hope so...LOL

It turns out my BFF just broke up with her bf because she realized she was gay. Now she's dating this weird chick LOL

LOL REALLY????? LOL that sounds.....odd...LOL

We are gonna get knocked off soon lol go to the Mitchel Musso interview LOL
