I see we have similar answers, although I was intelligent enough to know that if I killed myself then I wouldn't be able to answer the question.

Well, I was just too lazy to type out "Will I actually eventually do something with my life and have my own animal sanctuary, or will I ultimately succumb to a depression so horrible and paralyzing that I won't do anything at all?" (And that would have been two questions.)

That sounds about right. (But I'm actually less annoying irl, believe it or not. Which seems to be the case for most people, including you I'm sure)

1. What's your earliest memory?

Something with sitting in the living room of our old house in a town called Saeby. My parents had friends visiting late in the evening and they were all having drinks, talking loudly and the guests were smoking while music played in the background. I would just sit there and feel tired but oddly comfortable, hoping it would be a while before I would be told it was bedtime. Lots of my early memories are similar. Also sitting in cars at night, nearly falling asleep while looking at lights and trees pass by outside against the night sky. It doesn't seem like much, but those memories feel like something really special to me.

2. Do you wear, or did you ever wear a watch? And I don't mean a ****ing Apple one!

I did when I was a kid. For a period of time, I had one with a built in radio which I though was cool. It wasn't, and I must have looked like a dork.

3. Beards: yay or nay?

Yay since mine is getting somewhat big and bushy. I'm thinking of cutting it down to just a few milimeters again. The lumberjack look doesn't look good on me.

4. Three countries you would like to visit, that you have not yet?

Portugal, France, Finland. In that order. Portugal for wine, food and fado music. That one is bucket list material for me.

5. Vinyl, CD or MP3?

CD, since I have so many that I'm not about to change to vinyl at this point. The large pictures on vinyl are cool though.

6. One album you would never own or play, even if someone gave it to you for free?

One? There could be a hundred of these. Anything by Puddle of Mud, for example.

1. What was the first album that you downloaded? Paid for or pirated are both fine.

The first I paid for, I can't remember. Perhaps something with Roxette, maybe Metallica. The first I got a cassette tape copy of might have been Nirvana's Nevermind, or possibly Queen's Greatest Hits II.

2. Does the device that you use to view MB with change the way that you act or approach the forums? How?

I only use my Laptop for that since I've disabled internet on my cellphone years ago to save money and stay undistracted. I do have two laptops, but the older one is so slow that I don't use it for much.

3. How clean is your room right now?

Lot's of dead leaves in the window and I should probably sweep the floor under the couch, but otherwise, pretty neat. I'm messier in other rooms, but my living room is kept somewhat neat and tidy.

4. You're visited by yourself from the future. They can clue you in on one thing that will happen in your life and you get to choose. What do you want to know?

Yikes! No thanks. As little as possible, please.

5. Which character from the Garden of Earthly Delights are you?

Bottom left corner. Small black lizard held in the mouth of a young leopard or whatever type of cat that is. The cat represents life.

6. What's the last physical album that you bought?

Janelle Monae - The ArchAndroid. I owned it years ago but went through a weird phase where I somehow decided I wanted to purge all pop music and other "mainstream" things. Then I came back in a big way and now have more mainstream tastes than I've ever had before. I just can't be a music hipster and convince myself that it's really me. I love a good, accessible tune and a beautiful singing voice. Janelle Monae has pipes of gold and she was sorely missed.

I was a bit late to downloading music, around 2008-ish. I think the first album I downloaded was Saturdays = Youth by M83.

2. Does the device that you use to view MB with change the way that you act or approach the forums? How?
I wouldn't say it affects the way I act. But I definitely tend to make shorter posts when posting from my phone compared to on a PC.

3. How clean is your room right now?
Clean and tidy are two different things. Right now I'd say that my room is tidy, but could use with a bit of a dusting and a floor sweep.

4. You're visited by yourself from the future. They can clue you in on one thing that will happen in your life and you get to choose. What do you want to know?
When will I get to own my own fucking house?

5. Which character from the Garden of Earthly Delights are you?
This guy



He clearly doesn't give a fuck.

6. What's the last physical album that you bought?
From my most recent trip:

Sleater-Kinney - Dig Me Out (vinyl)
Depeche Mode - Violator (vinyl)
Stereolab - Switched on Stereolab (CD)
Steven Wilson - To the Bone (CD)
Emma Ruth Rundle - Marked for Death (CD)

A lot of pop fans seem to ignore her which is a shame; she's wonderful. Her music is a lot less dull than most of the other semi-mainstream pop/neo soul out there right now. (That may not be the case anymore, though; I just now realized that album came out seven whole years ago)

Some of her songs are insanely catchy, so she could have been big. Maybe she just didn't get the needed label push. She is definitely different from the others of a similar style. I don't have any other music in this style, except of course another album with her.

I think she's got something special going for sure:

Um... let's just say that I'm legitimately worried about my future at my job because I tend to have problems with certain people due to my tendency to enrage them and force my boss to decide between giving me hours and firing me, a hard-to-replace employee simply due to my willingness to work early mornings. You'd be surprised by just how accurately my internet persona is to my real life personality. I'm just somewhat more loveable I guess. And my boss thinks I'm funny, thank god.

I listened to one album of hers and I 100% hated it. I actually felt like I was suffocating and had to stop halfway. I've never felt like that, before or since. No thank you.

I thought she was bound to be so agreeable that no-one could hate it. Like that Curtis Mayfield album. Seriously. But I should remember that music is truly a case of personal taste over anything else. Is it Monae's style specifically, or the genre in general?

I initially read that as "something was sitting in the living room", and thought we were getting an early ghost/scary story from your childhood!

I'm no fan of soul, per se, esp neo soul. I hated Rjinn's album in the Album Club (can't recall the name, something about choosing weapons) but that just literally drained the life out of me. I don't think I've ever hated an album more. And yes, I'm including Merzbow in that!

I like soul when I listen to it though: Vandross, O'Neal, Benson (more jazz I know but still), Seal, Curtis of course, Wonder, Ross, all that sort of stuff. I do actually like a lot of it. But not that bloody thing. Keep that Moray Eel away from me!
