Next week – on Monday as it happens, calendar kids – DiS is cuddling up to Jimmy Eat World for a little question ‘n’ answer session, and we’re giving you a near-enough free rein to ask them whatever you want to.
Yup – DiS is tired of swotting up on Genuinely Massive Pop Rock Bands ten minutes ahead of our allotted slot, so instead we’re offering The Real-Life Genuine Fans a chance to tickle the ol’ grey matter of the popular four-piece. What’s their favourite cheese? Camembert. Next…?
Seriously, though: leave your questions for Jimmy Eat World below and DiS will ask them on your behalf. What’s more, everyone whose question we use will get a little prize from DiS. What sort of a prize? My respect, for one. Beyond that… we’ll see. Depends how brilliant your posers are.
So get posing, by posting via the comments section below. It’s easy. Even I can do it…

Jimmy Eat World
See?
Piece of piss, this.
What is the backstory to playing two sets at Reading Festival last year?
Rate all the Heatmiser albums in order of aceness ?
How did you respond when Capitol Records
attempted to re-sign you after they'd heard Bleed American?
Why do you think
people with otherwise fairly decent taste in music like you?
As a band who has a number of labels in their time,
what are views on the record industry as it stands and how do you feel about In Rainbows as a case study for giving away an album for free? Is this something you would ever consider doing?
Reverse chronologically, blates
Why Heatmiser?
Jim loves them
References 'Half Right' on Futures ("like my favourite Heatmiser song goes, it's just being alone"), and then covered the song for the Stay On My Side Tonight EP. I probably would've asked a question about Heatmiser as well, nice one.
What other Jimmys do you rate?
Nail? Saville? Ray?
Who's better: Batman or Iron Man?
...it's a valid question.
Oooo exciting!
Although the origin of your band's name is rather sweet, it IS still fairly ridiculous. Speaking hypothetically, if you could change it, which name would you chose?
Where's Rachel Haden these days?
Also, is there any reason that you stopped touring with an additional keys player/backing vocalist?
.
have you ever made it through an interview without a mention about clarity?
...
JIMMY,
i've noticed a pattern with your albums (not including static prevails)
Clarity - downbeat
Bleed American - Upbeat
Futures - downbeat
Chase the light - Upbeat
is this on purpose? Is this also the worst question ever thought up? Yes.
Any festivals lined up this summer?
although you played Reading twice last year, i'm sure you'd be welcomed back as Radio 1 tent headliners. Just don't play friggin V festival
after experiencing your first big football/soccer game
has your view of british people changed?
how about
supposedly you got your name from a drawing of someone eating the world. if he was eating a carrot, would you be called jimmy eat carrot?
You're known to be fans of JAMC
how do you feel about the reunion and have you seen them live since?
ahaha i'm terrible at thinking of questions.
what is your favourite thing about the uk?
what is your favourite album of yours, and why? {i would actually really like to know this one}
why don't you let tom sing more again?!
@Zach:
When/where/how did the relationship with the David Crowder Band start which lead to you producing and drumming on 'Illuminate'?
If the world was made of sweets
what would cars be?
MILF is now a culturally acceptable phrase
Shouldn't DILF be?
in question form pls:
"jimmy: are you the lovechild of jamie summers and guntrip?"
haha
that might work
Ermmmm
What was the idea for the peacock album cover on "Chase this light"?
How does it FEEL knowing your songs have been listened to literally millions of times? (I mean there's nearly 20 million listens recorded on last.fm alone, and that's obviously just a tiny portion of the amount of listens they've had).
Why do people always try and make a joke about the fact the band names acronym is JEW?
Who would they like to support on tour if they could support anyone? (Past or present)
Who would they like to support THEM if they could chose anyone?
Did you get mega stonk-ons while recording the video for "The Middle"?
I tried :(
Even though you have the heritage, a strong work ethic and solid fanbase
you've reached the point of commercial success that means alot of people who know little more than the songs they hear on the radio of you. Baring in mind that you have a pretty sizeable catalouge of songs, does it piss you off that you essentially HAVE to play your singles?
Or a condensed version of the above
Dear Jimmy Eat World
I had a ticket to see you at Brixton but I was ill so I couldn't go. Will you forgive me?
Dear Jimmy,
can you explain why, what with the increase in rental prices in city centres AND the huge rise in online fantasy gaming, how Games Workshop haven't gone under?
Jimmy, a number of your opening songs mention salt
is this in any way representitive to the order inwhich you add seasoning to your food?
How proud did you feel
when Bleed American took off, and then how bummed out when you had to change the name?
Why did you do One Tree Hill?
What do you think is the best song you have written as a group?
How does it feel that subconsciously, you have changed peoples lives with your music and lyrics?
What is the front cover of Static Prevails? (I've been trying to figure it out for about 9 years now) and What's the inspriration behind your album covers mainly futures?
Why are you so god-damn nice?
What are your Top 5 Jimmy Eat World songs of all time? We have an on-running discussion on this board of trying to put your records in order, but it always ends in a heated discussion.
haha
I am king blag!
I was gonna ask this question
nice one
don't know if this has been asked
- what was it like playing tom delonges wedding? shit i bet...
JEW!
How much say did you have in the production on Futures and Chase This Light? Was it intentional to give the songs a glossy pop sheen?
How did the colossal ending to Goodbye Sky Harbor come about?
