" Recently, I got to sit down with the lead singer of the Plain White T&amp;#039;s, Tom Higgenson, to talk about their new album, Wonders of The Younger, their new music video for &amp;quot;Boomerang,&amp;quot; and some very special fan memories! The guys most recently performed at the Bamboozle Festival in New Jersey and will be heading to Europe this summer and will continue touring through out the rest of the year. 17: What inspired the circus/carnival theme of Wonders of The Younger? Tom Higgenson: I was in Las Vegas a couple of years ago and I saw a Cirque du Soleil show called &amp;quot;O,&amp;quot; which really inspired me. It had all the elements of being a kid-pirates, clowns, things like that-but it was this big production of death-defying acrobatics too. It reminded me of some of the things I loved as a kid and I thought it would be cool to make an album that inspired other people and make them feel some nostalgia. 17: What was the shoot for your new video, &amp;quot;Boomerang,&amp;quot; like?  TH: That was a long video to film because it was a lot of stop motion. Three seconds of the video took almost two hours to shoot because we would have to move inch by inch for each shot. We wanted the video to feel different from anything we&amp;#039;ve ever done before. We wanted to give it a more artsy and dreamy vibe. Even though it was kind of tedious making it we knew the final product would be cooler because of the effort we put into it. And it turned out great! 17: What&amp;#039;s the coolest fan run-in you&amp;#039;ve ever had? TH: We&amp;#039;ve had a lot of people who have used our songs at their weddings. We have a song called &amp;quot;Radios in Heaven&amp;quot; and a lot of people have told us that they&amp;#039;ve played it at funerals. It&amp;#039;s always cool to hear that our songs touch people so much that they use them for these big moments in their life. 17: What artists are you into right now? TH: Bruno Mars, Panic! At The Disco, The Strokes, and Adele-her new album is amazing! We also love Coldplay, Kanye West, and Death Cab for Cutie... Have you checked out the Plain White Ts new album?
