this is the interview that explains it all.. its omar and cedric at the interview from i dont know who.....
Where do you all get a lot of your inspiration for your lyrics? Like there's a lot of space stuff...
C: Some of the stuff from "Casino" is from Event Horizon.
Oh really?
C: Yeah. You know, Twilight Zone episodes. I'm a big fan of Dr. Who, from England, you know, which is like a total geek show. He's just like a time traveler guy, and they had those police call bots. I like stuff like that.
My dad loves that show.
C: (Laughs) And in El Paso. Some the song titles for the old songs are street names in El Paso or some writers from El Paso. Some Boroughs in there, you know, stuff like that.
Like "Napoleon Solo" is from...
C: U.N.C.L.E. Yeah, the title doesn't fit in with the song, but that's where the title comes from. "Napoleon Solo" is the name of the man from U.N.C.L.E.
What's that song about?
C: It's about two friends of ours that passed away in a really bad car crash. It was on March 23rd and we were on our way from Austin to New Orleans. They were road tripping and their friend fell asleep at the wheel, and they got shot out of the truck and passed away. They were seventeen years old. One of the bands tonight that's playing, The Rhythm of Black Lines, two of them used to play with a band that I used to play with those two girls. We got the call in New Orleans as we were about to play on stage.
Oh really?
C: Yeah, right about to play. Jim wasn't in the band back then so he called to let us know. It was like...we had played three songs and we couldn't play the rest of the set. There was a heckler in the crowd, which...it was a really weird show. Which to me was like New Orleans was like the armpit. It was not a good show. We were really far away from home. That's what it's about. It's just commemorating their lives.
