Carl is a big fan of breakfast food for every meal and obnoxious sunglasses from gas stations. He plays things with strings, sometimes competently, and is prone to self-deprecation. Besides being a Bad Egg, he gets fuzzy with The Harbinger Curse, and used to get twangy with Lilly Moss & the Steel Ponies. He was a co-founder of the late Cody Templeton Band, and is a certified expert at the Irish Goodbye.
