Interview: John "Army" Armstrong

I began to post this interview last week, but when I saw the beautiful photos that Jack Newkirk took for this, I decided to format the interview using the Pages application for Mac, and post it as a PDF file. This is my first attempt at doing actual page layout, and I’m sure there are some typos, so stay with me on this…there is a learning curve.

John and I conducted this interview over a couple of days, using the Facebook message system. Which is why it may read a little funny. I’ve done minimal editing, to try to keep the flow of a conversation.

John Armstrong has been a force in Texas Longboarding for quite some time, and we’re lucky to have him here.

So click here, get the interview, print it out, and enjoy.

Army, ripping.

Doom Interview 05/2009 aus der Juice

 

The Man and the Mask.

Er ist das Original. Der erste Maskenmann am Mikrofon. Unter beruflichen Fragestellern gilt Doom als quasi unerreichbarer Künstler. In der Promophase zu seinem „neuen“ Album „Born like this“ erklärt sein britisches Label Lex Records, dass man alle Hebel in Bewegung setzten würde, um ihn für uns „einzufangen“. Zwei Interviews hat er bislang zugesagt: Eines für die amerikanische „XXL“, eines für den „Rolling Stone“ und ein drittes für die Coverstorie der Juice soll folgen. Und als es eines Freitagabends nach einigen Stunden Wartezeit tatsächlich so weit ist, scheint es fast so, als lege Doom für eine knappe Stunde das Metallgesicht ab – so offen, gesprächig und überaus gut gelaunt gibt sich der in London geborene, in New York aufgewachsene und mittlerweile in Atlanta ansässige Familienvater. mehr… in der Interview Ecke!

20 Watts Video: First Date With...The Biggest Hands You've Ever Seen


PREVIEW: 20 Watts’ First Episode of “First Date” with Erica Scarano.

After watching these guys open up for The Static Jacks a couple weeks ago at Funk N’ Waffles, 20 Watts couldn’t help but steal a chance to talk with The Biggest Hands You’ve Ever Seen for the second installment of the “First Date” series. These jokers dished on their abnormal influences and playing blues at Syracuse University.

–Produced by Jett Wells and Irina Dvalidze

- Did 3 songs together, and kept 1 out of the 3, maybe 2
- Taking a break for a couple of days because of the Awards
- Also working with Ludacris
- Relapse 2 coming early 2010, Album is pretty much finished
- They changed directions for the album a couple of times
- Rumor about Interscope changing the direction is not true
- Interscope doesn’t do anything with EM’s music, he controles everything
- Really pleased by Relapse, every song is incredible, no fillers
- This album is Eminem thinking in the right mindstate
- Original direction was going to be all Dre production
- Now it’s Denaun, Just Blaze, Dre, Eminem, Alchemist production and more
- The songs remind him of the feeling of a Marshall Mathers LP
- If you’re an Eminem fan you will love this album
- The Denaun and Eminem track is like bullets flying past ur head… its so many punchlines and the Eminem people have missed over the years.
- Content on the album is variety, serious content, some content that people never heard from him, very well balanced album. Probably most balanced album since the MMLP.
- A lot of punchlines, clear minded Eminem.
- Not a lot of Quaky music, no songs like The Real Slim Shady.
- Royce Da 5′9 is on the album

Last interview of the day: Randy Ellis aka Randy Now

For our third and final interview of the day we’re driving down to Bordentown, NJ to meet with Randy Ellis at the Record Collector, where Randy puts on a weekly concert series. Back in the 80’s Randy promoted four different Replacements shows at Trenton’s infamous City Gardens and had them on his radio show, plus his band opened for them (Here’s set lists for five of those City Gardens shows, not sure which ones Randy was involved with but we should find out later today).

Snoop Denies Shots At Lil Wayne

Monday on Shade 45’s Lip Service, Snoop repudiated firing subliminals at Weezy. Keep it peace like a Buddhist.

“A song about who?,” Snoop questioned radio personality Angela Yee. “I don’t call n*ggas’ names out, you know me babygirl, I’m Snoop Dogg. You ever heard a song I got called ‘Pimp Slap’ where I went after Suge Knight? If I got any issues, I go after a n*gga’s motherf*cking head. I’m not finna shoot at your shoes or shoot at the spot where your baby mama at, I’m finna take your motherf*cking neck off. I don’t have problems with no rappers, that was me speaking in general, so if a n*gga feel offended, or feel froggish, leap motherf*cker. Now that’s where I’m at with it, so, I never make diss songs, I make hit songs. I’m Snoop Dogg, I’ve been in it too long. I’m Uncle Snoop.” (Shade 45 Lip Service)
