This is an exerpt from a 1998 tour review, just a little factoid: I asked about astiocles. He said, "Astiocles is a secret Greek god... well we made him up. Actually when we were recording diary, I didn't have set lyrics a lot of the time. So when i was singing that song i didn't really know what i was singing. When we listened to it afterwards it sounded like i was saying 'astiocles so sideways'."
...oh yeah and when he (jeremy) was talking about astiocles he said, "yeah dan and i made up the story of him being a greek god that could drink up the sea. Eventually he was going to be a recurring character. Eventually the play would be out." He was joking about the play part, so don't ask him when it's coming out. ~brandon
