Just because I love to hear people speak in glowing terms about Elijah...
...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.
