...there is an interview with Robert Schneider of The Apples In Stereo here, in which he says the following about his record label owner:
RS: I met Elijah years ago at an Apples show at South By Southwest. He was rocking out in the front row, and he came around to meet us later. I was like, "Holy shit, Elijah Wood is an indie-rocker." He's totally into music. He's a record collector. He probably buys 78s. For all I know, he buys Edison cylinders. [Laughs.] He's not in any way what you would consider celebrity-ish. We kept in touch a little bit by email over the years, and when we were starting to record this new album, he contacted us and said, "I'm starting a new label, and I'd love to have The Apples be my first record." He came into the studio the first week we were recording, and just hung out. I showed him how to use the vocoder and the Mellotron. He was flipping out; it was like Christmas morning for him. I was like, "This is the perfect guy to be putting out our record."
God, I just love it when Elijah geeks out.
