1)Would you like to introduce yourself?
Jacob, Isaiah, and JJ as of today
2)When and why did you start playing?
We all started in different times of our life, playing together was in the pursuit of knowing what true love feels like. A lifelong pursuit.
3)What is your favourite part about this line of work? Your least favourite? Why?
The music making is the most beautiful part, not playing is the least beautiful part
4)Is there a hidden meanings in your work that you are surprised that nobody spotted (or that was noticed quicker than you expected)?
Not really, everything you need to know is in the title of the song. We don’t make you
think we make you FEEL. Music is the most beautiful thing, and the true meaning behind pretty much every song is to escape through dancing.
5)How do you handle mistakes during a performance?
Just keep on keeping on
6)Which of your tracks would you recommend for any new listeners?
ALL OF THEM.
7)If you were given the power to do so, which overused interview question would you have banned?
this one :3
8)And, most importantly, what is your favourite type of cookie?
Jumbo Gingersnap from Uprising Bakery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello
Hi. Listening to the track. It’s like rap (hip-hop) has finally rejoined music almost completely — they’re close to singing — they ARE singing. But it’s hiphoppy.
It certainly is groovy! I dig it. Cool Schwey.
I’m glad to hear that you both like it
Hello,
I was sitting here thinking of things other than work & it suddenly occurred to me,, the title is misleading. It’s not 8 random questions. They are the same questions each time. so where is the randomness? (is that a word?)
Just my idle thoughts, you can ignore them if you want.
Hope you all have a good afternoon.
Haha! I was pondering the randomness this morning as well Scott.
The word “random” and its derivatives have come — randomly? — to be used instead of “any”, etc. I do believe that “rando” exists. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Randos
I suppose the cookie one is a random question compared to what they would usually get. It would be fun to have a bunch of questions that come out in random order, some informative some silly random. Or just change it to 8 questions with OurBasement and leave out the random.
Hi Scott,
the 8 questions were initially chosen at random, but I thought it would be interesting to ask the same questions each time to see how the answers would differ, depending on who is responding to them (and not just the fact I am too lazy to come up with new questions).
I have been thinking it might be an idea to add extra questions to the list so that the artist can skip one or two and still leave us with 8 answers to post.
If you have any questions you would like to see added to the list please let me know 🙂
This virtual world is still imperfect. If it were better, we could immediately design a spinny fortune wheel with numbers and related, eventual “random” questions.
But this is not Total Recall or anything.
Hi Garf,
It’s no big deal. I figured the questions were random the first time & yes it’s interesting to see how they get answered by different people.
I was just one of those errant thoughts that sometimes go careening around my empty skull.
Most times I don’t let them out into the light of day, but what the heck it’s almost Christmas.
it’s ok Scott, I always welcome input and if you do think of any questions please do let me know
Other questions:
What is/was your day jobs?
What are you listening to these days?
Who are your favourite Canadian artists?
What are some of your band’s influences?
Is there a band or artist you discovered in a friend’s basement? If so, who?
What drink pairs best with your music?
I will keep thinking.
Use a question randomizer to throw a random one in to the mix.
Such as:

(last quest.) Hah!
:p
The drink question was my favorite one
q
How do you wind down after a gig?
Yup that would be good one to add to the list.
These are Canadian bands correct?
What’s your favorite hockey team?
Who’s going to win the Grey Cup?
(No, don’t watch any sports)
Which season does your music best reflect? winter/summer/fall/ spring
What food pairs best with the drink that pairs best with your music.
I opened the conversationstarter above & the question was – How often do you nap?
The answer is now. Snore, snore, snore.
yes, they are all Canadian bands
I might combine the food and drink question
I am keeping a list in notepad++
I liked our collaboration on this. I hope it is of some use to you Garf.
The questions will be very useful, I just have to decide how I will randomize them
Right. Number them and draw random numbers?
I don’t know if I should randomize them myself and email the questions, as I do now, or build a web page that would automatically create a list of 8 random questions for them to answer.
The page could be as simple as a generated list of questions they can copy from the page and answer in an email or to actually have them answer on the page along with links for images along with video/audio streams which we would get automagically.
I know which version I want to do and it isn’t the easier one
g’night
Of course you want to do the more difficult way. Ha! Whatever works for you and is easy for the artists.
