We recently had a chance to sit down with Howie Day before his jam packed show at the Bank of America Pavilion in Boston. Howie's Stop All The World Now was originally released in October 2003, but recently has exploded with the success of "Collide." Give a Listen* as Howie talks about the success of "Collide", relentless touring, as well as what comes next. *Windows Media Player 9 is needed to listen to this interview.

1. How has the tour been going so far?

2. Has the success of "Collide" surprised you?

3. Your going to be headlining to 5000+ people tonight. Do the bigger crowds put more pressure on your performance?

4. Have you had a chance to start writing for the next record yet?

5. How important has the trading of your live shows been important to the growth of your fan base?

6. What are your thoughts about people downloading the studio versions of your songs, legally & illegally?

7. You have toured with some big names, do you take notes and learn from they work?

I want to thank Howie for taking the time to talk with me. It was great getting a chance to chat before the show and he really blow me away live. Without a doubt, we are looking forward to catching him again live. Keep your eye up for when Howie Day comes to your town.
