My interviews with Alexisonfire was totally awesome, but going to review and interview My Awesome Compilation was hilarious! They are seriously funny guys!

Inspirations:
Every single thing is about the music for me – I could never be without it

Love:
Hot pierced rock-loving boys with a nice bit of fringe perhaps and a good sturdy pair of shoulders! Glasses preferable but not compulsory! (Ha ha – I sound like a dating ad)! And having a drink or two – JD or Corona is always a good option, depending on the weather!

Hate:
Not very much really … ok, I don’t hate it as such but it does make me sad when an awesome band decides to call it a day – for example; Finch (produced a bloody fantastic second album, went on to give us an awesome tour, then announce their split)!

Motto:
I don’t have a personal motto, but i will go with the motto that I wear around each wrist every day – ROCK FOR LIFE

Final Words:
Work hard to play hard … and never underestimate the power of Goldschlager! Hee! xxx
