How did you get into FBi?
My house blew away in a twister and I landed in a strange land where no one supported local music. So, after meeting with the Great Wizard, I clicked my
heels together three times and chanted 'There's no place like FBi' and suddenly here I am. And you were there, and you were there, and you were
there...
What's your background?
At the moment? My study's bookcase, a lamp and a painting of row boats.
What has been your highlight of working at FBi so far?
Aesop Rock, Mr Lif and Fakts One of the Def Jux crew came into the studio earlier this year. Fakts jokingly threatened to get up and slap the fuck out of me
on air. That was awesome. Also one day somebody shared a mud cake with a everybody at fbi and it was a quality mud cake.
Who's your favourite artist/band/act?
Today my favourite artist is Why?. Yesterday it was The Microphones, and tomorrow, who knows? Pavement perhaps? Bon Jovi?
What's your all time favourite album?
DJ Shadow's Endtroducing is up there, alongside Tom Waits' Rain Dogs and cLOUDDEAD's self titled debut.
Which star are you dying to get into the studio for an interview?
Beck. And Paris Hilton. Together. We'd all make pancakes and play with jigsaw puzzles.
What's your favourite club/venue?
er...the Clare Hotel owns your face, but that's not really a venue. I guess the Gaelic Club owns a substantial amount of face.
What are your favourite websites?
Have you seen the Music Vs Physics site? It's hyper rad! You get to be this cat and you walk around these rooms and you can jump and make left hand turns!
Just like a real cat! Also you can listen to their music. Which is fine, I guess.
What's your motto?
It's very pleasant.
Who would you like to be for a day apart from yourself?
Richard Branson. The man has it all: jets, babes, herpes. A god among D-grade celebrity billionaires.
Which famous person (dead or alive) would you invite for dinner?
Well since I've already had a pancake breakfast with Beck and Paris Hilton, lets dig Frank Zappa up and have an acid freakout supper.
Who's your idol?
Dean and Gene Ween. Listen to their first three albums and you'll see why.
What gets on your nerves?
Endocrines, hormones, body tissue and blood cells. But I'm okay with that.
What's your favourite movie?
Anything by the Coen Brothers. Or the Marx Brothers. Or Woody Allen. Or Terry Zwigoff. Or Wes Anderson. Also if it has Pauly Shore in it.
What's your favourite book/comic?
Book: Edgar Keret's The Busdriver Who wanted to be God and Other Short Stories
Comic: Daniel Clowes' David Boring
Tell us about the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to you.
I exposed Janet Jackson's nipple during our performance at this years' Superbowl. It wasn't supposed to go as far as it did, but, well, I got a little
carried away and both she and I apologise.
What's your favourite food?
Sober? Szechwan fried pork with rice noodle rolls. Not sober? A Kebab. Either meal shud be followed by a large helping of ice cream, preferably a chocolate
flavour.
Any extraordinary hobbies?
I can blow spit bubbles off my tongue. Also I scratch records with my elbows. Or at least I plan to. One day.
What was the worst job you ever had?
My first two jobs were at a charcoal chicken place, followed by an ice cream parlour. I got fired from both for swearing at customers. Take that,
society!
What's the most amazing thing to do that you would recommend to anyone?
Wittily fill out questionaires! How incredibly amazing!
When was the last time you were really proud of yourself?
This morning I microwaved a Shepherd's Pie and it didn't explode everywhere. Also I just won Miss Universe. Yay!
Any last words you have for our listeners?
I'm not a crook.
