1 - Tell us how your project(s) were started.
Well, basically
The Low End Theory was formed out of frustration from being in a lot of other
go-nowhere bands, and the boredom of shitty suburban upbringings. Our lineup
has changed considerably since the inception of our band, but the attitude and
influence is still the same. We're still venting about our crummy childhood,
(some crummier than others).
2 - What does music, in it's entirety, mean to you?
Music to me is
ultimate freedom, the reigning king of fixes, the best orgasm you've ever had
... squared. Whether it be playing, performing, or just listening, music allows
you to shake off all of life's bullshit. Almost like being able to hear the
most beautiful picture you have ever seen. Music can put you into the "fuck
everything else" mindset that I think more people should try once in a
while. Just get your groove on and shut the fuck up!
3 - What does art,
in it's entirety, mean to you?
Art is a touchy subject for me. I definitely don't buy into art for art's sake. To me Art's just some guy with no arms and no legs stuck to a wall. Poor guy.
4 - Who is your
favorite author, and why?
Brett Easton Ellis is by far my favorite author. I mean here is a guy who will really reap up his, and everyone else's inner-demons and animate them with painful detail. He's not afraid to expose himself for what he is; an egotistical, materialistic, psychotic, sadistic, asshole. But, the beauty of it is that there's nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with meeting someone for the first time and wondering what their brains must taste like. It's actually doing it that's sick, along with denying yourself the pleasure to think about it. Please, our country elects psychopaths. So why should I feel any different? I like the fact that someone can put it out there like that.
5 - As your best
friend, describe yourself.
What a standup guy! He's never afraid to say what's on his mind, always down for a scream, and loyal as a fuckin' dog. What more could you ask? Sexy as hell too... Damn I wanna do him...HARD!!!
6 - As your worst
enemy, describe yourself.
What a dick! Who does he think he is anyway? Too cool for the room, and can't shut the fuck up. What a fuckin' mess. I hope he fuckin' dies driving to a family member's wedding. But man do I wanna blow him!
7 - If your persona
were immortalized as a cartoon character, who would it be?
Daffy Duck... No Doubt. I always identified with Daffy as a child... Shit I still do.
8 - Do you think
there are conspiracies against the "everyday person"?
Let's put it this way, I think everyone is out to get me. Now would you want to hear a conspiracy theory about the working class being oppressed by enforced materialism, and the importance of fitting in and looking the same, ( i. e. Have you seen fuckin' Gap commercials these days? If that's not a Nazi youth recruiting ad campaign, I don't know what is). Now with that having been said, I'm sure you don't want me to get into any conspiracies with you. Damn yo, I sound paranoid.
9 - What do you
do with your spare or free time?
Aside from a lot of guitar playing, I hang with my lady quite a bit, she's the best. I also like to chain smoke, binge drink, dabble in some drugs, talk shit, and d.j. I like the boom, boom, boom.
10 - Please give us your interpretation of "the meaning of life".
Wow, I never really thought about it. Hmm, I guess my interpretation would be, GO FUCK SHIT UP, OR BLOW YOUR FUCKIN' BRAINS OUT! There's no room in life for settling and waiting. If you're too afraid to do what turns you on, then turn yourself off..
