Pop Quiz: The Finn Brothers

Aidin Vaziri | Having sold millions of albums between their stints in Crowded House and Split Enz, Tim and Neil Finn have reunited once again as the Finn Brothers for a new disc, "Everyone Is Here," and semi-acoustic tour of the states. Apparently, they keep forgetting how much they hate each other. Fortunately, we are here to remind them.

Q: What would you say is your favorite thing to fight about?
A: Um, a lot of it has to do with the usual unexplained feelings that come up between brothers. It's kind of an identity thing, where you think you're figuring out who you are, and suddenly your brother comes along and just his very existence challenges your sense of being. So it's nothing too specific. It's just kind of annoying sometimes to have your siblings around.
Q: I don't know if it helps, but I personally think you have better hair than he does.
A: Well, it took me a while to get to that as well. The thing is, our dad has really good hair, and it's sort of a sore point with Neil because he can see that I have dad's hair. In rock 'n' roll, let's face it, it's one of the top three things to have.
Q: That's right. To be an awesome band you need, in this strict order, good tunes, good hair and good shoes.
A: I think shoes are important as well. I always feel good in a nice pair of shoes.
