10. Interview Magazine interviews TV Girl. In the interview Brian Petering and Trung Ngo spoke about impressing Aubrey Plaza, life goals, and a missed opportunity with the Beastie Boys. [InterviewMagazine] Check out the highlights below! [TV Girl via] On their life goals. Brad Petering-- "My goal is to end up at a party with Aubrey Plaza. Do you know Aubrey Plaza? I just want to be at the same party and have a shot at normal conversation [with her]. I'm not asking to like, sleep with her or anything. I just want a shot. An opportunity. That's all I'm asking for. I mean, I don't know what parties she'll be at, or if we'll ever be at the same party. But, that's my goal. Maybe we'll hit it off." Describing their music to a 5-year old. Trung Ngo-- "I would describe [our music] as, "You can sing along to it, but I wouldn't sing around your parents." On collaborations. Brad Petering-- "I'm rarely, rarely thrilled by news of a collaboration. I mean, look at the Gorillaz and LCD Soundsystem and André 3000 collaboration. All those people are great, but that song was just horrible. There was no reason to do that. They just did it because they were famous, basically. A remix I would do, though. I'm down. [pauses] Sorry.... things just got a little real."
