what is yr ideal romantic evening?
romance doesnt interest me that much. but it would probably involve food, booze and stimulating conversation followed by flesh manipulation.
who are you wearing?
my own body's skin
are you a wing, leg or thigh man?
i dont eat chicken anymore, but when i did, i was a leg man.
who are you listening right now? why?
this very instant there is complete silence. in general i've been listening to...
biosphere
boards of canada
beatles
book of love
and anything else that starts with B
what is your happiest childhood memory, and how does it differ to yr happiest teenage memory?
oh man... tough one. i dont know what is the absolute happiest, but riding a big wheel while eating a home-made koolaid popsicle in the summertime comes to mind. happiest teenage memory cant even touch happeist childhood memory.
it's argued that electronic music is cold, what makes it so different from other music as to be labeled as such?
electro is only cold when the person making it is cold. it just so happens that most people that get into making electronic music probably have the personality that lends itself to making cold music. also, it probably sounds cold to people because alot of electro is programmed rather than played. that's the obvious answer i think
fantasy scenario #1: i am new to this planet. in the simplest terms, please describe the leader of the yr free world to me
there is no real leader, rather a perceived leader, who seems to be some sort of puppet for a larger organization whos minds are mostly controlled by negative emotions.
for every time you think "this is hype!" about a track yr working on, how many times do you simply heave a deep sigh and contemplate a blockbuster evening?
roughly half and half, allthough the non-hype nights do not involved sighing or renting movies.
hear the lumber get wicked.<- use this by saying miles loves trees.
what?
does the concept of the year 2000 being 'futuristic' come off as antiquated now that it's 2k2? if so, what is the new, magical futuristic year?
i always wondered what that tv show "beyond 2000" was going to do with themselves after 2000 came and went. i think now it will be something like "beyond 2030" allthough that doesnt grab me as much as beyond 2000 did. the perceived future never really gets here though.
what is the most efficent form of private transportation in chicago.
private? i dont know. as far as public goes, i would say the bus. the buses are great in chicago. allthough it wouldnt hurt if they ran a little later.
you recently toured, what things did you take from the road, and what things were better left there.
i met alot of great/interesting people on the road, and discovered some new towns and locations. i'm not sure what is better left on the road, to be honest.
have you ever discovered a dead body?
not a human body. allthough on tour i saw some of the most horrific roadkill i could possibly imagine. i mean it was ridiculous. did you ever see the cronenberg remake of "the fly"? remember when they sent that baboon through the teleporter and it came out with the inside of it's body on the outside? it was like that, except smeared across a greater square footage
what single moment defined and solidified your resolve to make techno music?
i dont know if this moment made me want to MAKE electronic music, but it certainly turned me on to it: at the end of the genesis album invisible touch, there is this song called 'the brazilian'. i was floored the first time i heard it. no singing, no guitars... it didnt even sound like genesis. that song was completely ahead of its time and apparently was also completed ignored. oh well.
if the saying "beauty is skin deep" is true, then why aren't man breasts desirable?
in my opinion and that of most it seems, women's breasts, in a very primal way, represent to man our desire to reproduce. allthough these days most men do not think about creating offspring, rather they are thinking about the act that will, and nature ignores this discrepancy. anything that can possibly be associated with reproduction or the act thereof will be an object of desire. women's breasts nuture a growing infant, so it is only natural for men to desire them through subconsious association. men's breasts however are completely useless when it comes to reproduction or the nuturing of a child (unless a complex apparatus is employed) and therefore are not desirable to women. unless of course the man breasts are wide and strong, singaling to the female that the male in question is fully equipped to move large objects to save the prospective baby's life if the need arises.
finish this sentence: 'im so one three three seven that...
i know what that means you pervert
describe a time you were tricked into doing something, but didnt realize it untill well afterwards.
i cant really remember. i'm sure it has happened many times. most of which i probably havent realized yet.
if yr kid brother came to you and asked what "dry humping" was all about, what would you tell him? how would that differ from what you'd tell a kid sister?
i would tell him dry humping is when you use flour instead of milk. i would tell my kid sister the very same thing.
lots of people make music. some better then others. who makes good music in the year 2000?
let's see... (*thinking real hard*) well, shit, it looks like nobody made any good music in 2000.
the stupid side of hip hop is:
a. back side
b. front side
c. side side
d. this side of 1993
C
i am going to descibe two situations i was in and i want you to tell us how you'd have acted in the same situations.
situation the first>
i recently has chewed out by an elderly lady for taking offense at her smoking a ciggarette in close proximity to a gas pump. she swore several times, once using the "f" word. that really creeped me out hearing an old hag saying a naughty, young person term.
i wouldnt have said anything to her about the cigarette. if she blows herself up she will learn a valuable lesson.
second situation>
i was at an all night diner when a very loud and intoxicated group of teens came in and started talking very loudly about their views of gay sex. in public. where childrens and sweet little grandmothers could hear their vile excretment. i was appalled and moved to another table. later the manager offered me a comliamentary blue barry mufflin as an apology of sorts.to prove that his resturant wasn't a real world chatroom for homo love. i declined.
my father's name is barry. are you implying that this restaurant offered you a muffin flavored like my father?
in which non-erotic context have you heard this phrase uttered: "can i touch those?"
i hear that every day from strangers on the street, but it's never in a non-erotic context.
if a computer asked you: "where do you want to go today?" what would you say?
i want to go to the beach you fucking computer
"you ever run around naked just to hear your penis slap against your legs?"
nope

a. when yr right
b. when you are damn wrong but only you know it

the world is a crazy place: the US fought terrorism by using a proxy army of (essentialy) terrorists (the northern alliance) to avoid losing home front support for the war by avoiding american bloodshed, all the while taking out entire villages of innocent afghans with out flinching. the question here is: how does this look to the rest of the world?
we are total assholes
like a stuborn turd, does music come hard to you, or, like the runs, does it freely sloose from yr creative bowels?
the second one. the one about diarrhea.
which characteristic of our sharded human behaviours seems completely unnessessary?
almost all of them i suppose.
fantasy scenario #2: you pass out at a party, and when you come to, yr at a party in the year 2012, you notice the music is quite different then the music of yr home time. what does this new music sound like?
the music of the future will open parts of our minds that we did not see before, inducing incredible insights into ourselves, or it will cause to us to bark like dogs and vacate our bowels simultaneously. people that are alive to experience this shift will make the transition gradually and effortlessly. poeple like myself in this scenario who awaken to it rip van winkle style will ascend to nirvana.
in electronic music, artists have really pushed beats in new, exciting directions. when do you except this to happen with melodys?
it's already happening thank the lord
since your being interviewed, it could be fairly applied you are important enough to have fans. describe any notable fan experiences you've had.
a girl at a show i played in florida told me she wanted to bear my children. i have never been publicly flattered to that extreme before so my interaction with her was noticably akward.
what makes your heart feel warm?
what a gooey question. i like it though. here are some things:
sun
snow
the smell of cinnamon
shit that sounds like a poem to me. hey everybody! my first poem!
as a rule, why does a majority of the population hate the shit out of poor people?
people generally hate what they fear or don't understand. there should be a law that makes every rich person spend at least a month living with poor people in a poor community. they would then find out that poor people are exactly the same as rich people, except that poor people have fewer keys.
when will rock n roll roll over and rot?
a. maybe soon, like a year or something
b. when mel c releases her follow up lp
c. when david bowie teams up with bing crosby, again
d. what time is it now?

E : you cant stop rock n roll. it's hidden deep within most electronic music but it is often obscured by noise.
what percentage of electronic music artists would be totaly lost without computers?
95
what tops your personal list of artists you'd forefeit a nut to work with?
i wouldnt give up a testicle to work with an artist, but an artist i'd like to work with is mr. projectile.
are you comfortable with the idea that jim o'rourke hates chicago?
i keep hearing that name but i really dont know who he is.
geraldo is a damn liar and flagrent opertunist: [link] yet he's not been fired by fox. what is wrong with this picture?
perhaps major tv networks as a whole possess no integrity either

a. stupid people
b. lazy bus drivers

undeniably D
what is most disarming:

b. a child's smile

d. nation wide ban on personal firearm ownership
D again
a few years back american mtv was hoping to pimp techno as the new grunge there was concern in the underground that this would saturate the scene with a new wave of trendies and gap kids. in your opinion, did it? what were yr feelings back then?
i dont think it did. if it did, then the kids were slowly assimilated into the lifestyle one listen/show/rave at a time
does ricki lake live in chicago? and if so does she really smell like tea? if you were a very obese individual, would you still dream of "getting with" ricki lake?
i dont know if she lives here. i wouldnt be surprised. i dont know if she smells like tea but she sure looks like she does. if i was very obese i would probably think of her in a sexual manner. what makes you think i havent already?
what are some websites you enjoy visiting?
theonion.com
pitchforkmedia.com
i used to visit doodie.com in the past. i have not been there for a while though.
what natural function of the human body are you most indifferent to?
urinating has never been that interesting to me. shitting is interesting, so is sneezing. puking is also quite captivating. pissing, though.... no not really interesing at all
has any one, in an erotic context, asked you: "boxers of briefs?"
nope
what is the most rewarding aspect of being able to play your music for people?
seeing people visibly moved. yeah it sounds egotistic. maybe it is. perhaps i should seek to destroy the parts of me that desire such a thing
is there any reason you wouldn't attend a high school make out party?
no
is there any reason people shouldn't buy yr records and worship and emulate you?
emulation is often a natural step to originality unless you are insane. worshipping a member of your own species is masturbatory.
what, in yr opinion, is a sex shooter?
well, judging by the sound samples you sent me i would say it's a penis. but the song is being sung by woman which leads me to believe that she has a penis.
