here's part 4.... > >31. Anything special planned for new years eve 1999? > >Eli is definitely doing something, but he's not sure what yet and Scott will >be roaming the East Village since the Concorde is booked up. I will be in >Seattle watching the world's computer industry collapse and Johnny will be >busy looting somewhere. > >32. What do you think about the current and future state of >'alternative' music? > >I think that genre has been fucked by the music industry. Third Eye Blind >alternative??? My ass. -Eli >Third Eye Blind is not an "alternative" band... it's pop music. But the fact >is that alternative bands are still doing well, still out there: radiohead, >massive attack, sleater-kinney, fugazi, the make-up, the dirty three, six >finger satellite, mogwai, the beta band, beck, etc... its still all doing >well, and as far as bands like the afghan whigs, rocket from the crypt, the >blues explosion, and even GVSB... we are all still here... just because there >hasn't been a Nirvana since Nirvana doesn;t mean the idea of "alternative" >music is dead... It will come around, but that doesn't mean it will ever be >mainstream.... Nirvana sounded like the pixies anyway... so all the categories >are bullshit... the percentage of people who like "off-beat" music is growing, >but the future doesn't seem like its going to sound like Big Black (and >realistically, who would have ever thought it would)...-Scott >OK, that's enough of that...besides, does anyone listen to Third Eye Blind >anymore?-Alexis > >33. why did Eli go under a different name (Silus Greene) for what, three >albums? > >Eli attributes his use of a ridiculous "nom-de-plume" to legal entanglements. >I comforted him by saying that he did, in fact, use that name for 2 albums, >but that that did not make him a bad person. > >34.

Yes it was!!-Eli >It was time to cruise ourselves.-Scott >Definitely mine.-Alexis >Uh, that was me.-Johnny > >35. What is GVSB's recipe for getting over a person you're infatuated with and >doesn't love you back? > >Loud music and getting drunk. Oh, wait, that's our recipe for everything.-Eli >Its a blessing in disguise.-Scott >Make them love you. Kidnap them and tie them up until they love you. Punish >them until they agree to love you. DO NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER.-Alexis >Johnny was too drunk to answer this question. > >36. If GVSB were all xx instead of xy what band would they be? > >Boys Against Girls.-Scott >Dixie Chicks-Alexis >Liberace-Johnny > >37. If GVSB were a being of mythological importance what would it be? > >Eli thinks that we would be Icarus and Scott thinks we would be Medusa so we >could turn crowds to stone if they looked in our eyes. I like to think that >we are like Sisyphus. Johnny didn't know so I told him to say Perseus. He >doesn't know why but he thinks it has something to do with his book company. > >38. Is Alexis part bionic? (Exhibit A: Pleasurized) > >Eli and Scott both agreed that I was bionic as I held them by their ankles >from the window on our 12th floor space.

If Alexis IS part bionic, which parts? > >Oh, beHAVE.-Eli >the foot that plays the kick pedal is bionic, but also, the attitude is >bionic.-Scott >I also have a bionic sense of sarcasm. Notice?-Alexis > >39. Do the lyrics to Roxy have anything to do with wooing a love to >find merit in a romance (specifically the line "It's not a waste of >time")? > >"Roxy" is about going out every night. It's about what you're/I'm looking >for, which seems, in a way, to be what you're talking about (in this >question) & if that's what you are looking for, then that's what this is >about. -Scott > >40. The layering of sounds in the intro's of songs is especially impressive on >GVSB tracks (note: Push the fader/Psychic know-how). >Is this a more organically occuring event or one that is specifically >concentrated on? > >We usually let the beginnings be free-form. An intro of straight noise >ideas...-Eli >Intros are more important than the song itself... -Scott >The intros are usually very organic and are the parts we sometimes have more >fun with than the rest of the song.-Alexis > ============================================== Please send all administrative requests (unsubscribing, change of address, etc) to the list owner at [EMAIL PROTECTED] ==============================================
