Interview questions from freakystyle

Interview questions from freakystyle! Yay!

1. How often do you put your nuts in one of the pockets of a pool table?

   Frequently but only after many beers on a rainy day in May at the Black Eagle. So infrequently.

2. When are you going to move to Toronto?

   Well, to be honest I kinda like it more in Hamilton these days. Not that I don't wanna leave this hole! Don't get me wrong, it sucks here but the level of Extreme Angst® is much lower these days.
   
   So the official answer is once I'm all gradumajated I'm outta here and off to seek my fortunes in the big city. I'm hoping to find a school where I can persue the technical end of music. Not too sure about that but more than anything I just wanna get knee deep in music and never come back.
   
   Anyone need a roomie?

3. What are your thoughts on Pride Day in Toronto? Have you been?

   What, do I look totally green to you? Well, that's because I am. Who wants chicken?! But honestly I've been to Toronto Pride twice before and I enjoy it thoroughly mostly because it's a big long weekend where I can see friends, be publicly off my face and oogle hot men with abandon.
   
   Oh and like being proud and stuff. Yeah.

4. How do you feel about downloading music from the internet? Is this going to be the death of the music industry?

   I am complete and totally for it. I get a little pissed off when the powers that be assume that the internet isn't the economy. Times have changed and the industry needs to adapt, which it is but painfully slowly. That sort of anaemic response will likely cause the impending Big Chang in How Music is Sold that is looming. To me downloading music to me is both political and efficient. I do buy what I like and given my income I buy a dis-proportionate amount of records.
   
   So Hillary Rosen can stick it up her floppy dyke cunt.

5. Do you welcome new technology or do you think that it's more of a problem than a solution for making life easier.

   Ask me this question in the past and I woulda been all "Yeah technology! w00t!" but today I really think that a lot of the newer systems we use are so basic and immature. It's like the paper vs. computers argument. Use a computer in the rain, pull out a page or highlight a word. Anything similar that a computer CAN do is just a simulation of paper! On the other hand you can't have people around the world collaborate on the same piece of paper in real time from their bedrooms. It's a combination of old and new that will really change our world. The latest gadget or techno trinket just looks like modern jewelry to me. No real purpose other than to signify status.

Just a little FYI, but Hillary Rosen doesn't run the RIAA anymore. Not that I don't completely agree with what you said. Record companies need to adapt or die. And if they do die off, then a more efficient model can take it's place and get more money to the artists than into the shareholder's pocket.

Just like Metallica's feeble attempt to get back into the good graces of the P2P crowd, by offering free live concert versions of their past songs with the purchase of their new album. I want to tell Lars where he can shove his file server.

And now the RIAA is going to sue the next generation of music consumers into great shame over their file sharing practices. Hmmmm, that's great marketing sense. Sue them for damages and then think that they'll buy another CD. <best Wayne's World voice> Yeah-right! </best Wayne's World voice>

very well said. thank you...

i actually used to be a sorta anti-tech hippie, and then i realized the benefits...not unlike Slow Food's promotion of a responsible globalization to spread food/ideas
