Tomo: What Andre is planning is it will be Mars TV and every week will be a new episode. So ideally, if he can keep on his game, which is easier said than done.
Matt: We usually make sure he keeps on his game.
Yeah, you do. I’ve seen him running around here while I’ve been waiting. You keep him busy.
Tomo: He’s a hard-working man.
Matt: Everyone in the family is hard-working. There is always something to be done.
In the first podcast, Jared mentioned you had finished the concept for the next video, that was for “The Kill?”
Matt: Yes.
Do you, as a band, always set the vision for the videos?
Matt: Yeah, we’re basically involved with every aspect.
Tomo: Yeah, there is nothing that happens that we didn’t create or come up with on our own.
“Attack” was just an incredible video; you did a beautiful job with it using the scratch negative technique.
Matt: That was very painstaking. A lot of time was put into that video.
The new album is so much more intimate and personal then the first one. Was that a conscious decision?
Tomo: I’m sure it was in some way conscious.
Matt: That is really more of a Jared question, but I think he definitely wanted to open up a bit.
Tomo: He still wrote it in his “Jared style” as far as the lyrics being kind of metaphoric.
And that’s what is great about the songs, everyone can draw their own interpretation of them.
Tomo: That’s the beautiful thing about music and kind of art in general. Even a painter that paints houses and trees leaves things open to interpretation.
(Jared walks on to the bus and hesitates when he realizes he is interrupting. He then joins us) Jared: Hi! How are you?
I’m great, thank you.
Jared: How is everything going in here?
Real good.
Jared: They have me slaving away out there. I’d much rather be in here having a nice conversation with you.
I understand completely. (Jared excuses himself and goes to the back of the bus, closing the door between the front compartment and the series of bunks.)

I can only find the 10th episode of Mars Tv, where can I find the others? I tried iTunes, but came across nothing...

Hi Bailey,
The 10th episode of the Mars TV is the current episode. Did you try subscribing to the podcast? I believe that makes older version accessible.

I was wondering if you know their managers email address or where I might be able to find it.
I am trying to get an interview or photopass for when I see them next month, but I cant find their manager/publistist email address.
If you could help in any way I would really appreciate it.
