Tell me something about ALARM magazine.

[FuSoYa]

I know they have a web site and have a print version, but that's the extent of my info on them.

 

[mindspell]

I can tell you that the few reviews I read on the site shows that their reviewing style suck.

 

[FrostGiant]

That name doesn't ring a bell. Sorry.

hey Toby..believe it or not but i'm actually interviewing you guys as well for Alarm with Emily who is the woman from the magazine who wanted to interview the band. pretty crazy. i can now redeem myself from all the immature questions i asked you and Greg 2 years ago for defenestrated.

 

[coelacanth_M]

wait wait, does this mean there will be zero questions about poop?

 

[Si1entdemon]

haha, no, there will definitely be some questions like that. what i actually meant was ignorant not immature hah, like for example i stated to Toby two years ago that a lot of the songs on Bath/LYBM where there are woodwinds/brass playing along side distorted metal guitar and growls sound like two songs playing simultanenously which i heavily regretted saying. also i said there were jazz influences in Kayo Dot/motW which i've come to realize isn't true at all.

typical journo.

Si1entdemon sounds very open-minded and willing to rethink. That's a great quality for a journalist.

 

[steak-knife]

all of them pretend they do really. but like someone i dont remember said once, journalists are like eunuchs : they know how to make it, but they CANT make it.

i'm not a journalist right now, but thanks for the compliment anyways. i'm sort of the huge fan who's fortunate enough to be able to help with this interview!

 

[steak-knife]

ah thats different then.

 

[FuSoYa]

Ben, that's great! Then we can redeem ourselves from the immature answers we gave you, too.

 

[xfer]

welll i just mean that there's so many people who say something that turns out to be not quite right, but then are afraid to say "i was wrong about that". probably because they don't want to open themselves up to criticism from people who are like "GNAGH YOU WERE WRONG ABOUT THAT ONE BAND SIX YEARS AGO AND YOU ADMITTED IT WHY SHOULD WE VALUE YOUR OPINION AT ALL NOW".

 

[azal]

frostgiant is the most underappreciated poster here.

 

[Si1entdemon]

Ben, that's great! Then we can redeem ourselves from the immature answers we gave you, too.

hah no, your answers were awesome. just to reassure you there will be no questions among the lines of "how did the band form?" or "what is the meaning behind the name, cover art, etc."

yeah youre right about that. still i dont quite trust journalists, especially online journalists, and especially especially online metal journalists.

 

[Russell]

also i said there were jazz influences in Kayo Dot/motW which i've come to realize isn't true at all.

Been there, done that

 

[FrostGiant]

I don't get no respect.
