1. In the early nineties I remember commercials where people would do stupid shit for ice cream. What is the best example you can remember where you were putting in a lot of effort for a small outcome?
I played soccer for years as a child. If you won you got a free item from the concession stand. I really liked those Flintstones push-pops so I practiced every day, and made myself the best damned player I could be, just for a Flintstones Push-pop
2. If you ran a city state what would be the first five words or less of your first public address?
Now your fucked. Cloths off.
3. Is english your first language? Do you speak other languages?
Yes, I am trying to decide wether or not to pursue Italian, Japanese, or Icelandic
4. Favorite soup.
French Onion
5. Who is your least favorite character.
Cartman
6. Socrates and Nietzche are in a bar, Jung and Freud look on in the back booth, and see Socrates produce a knife. What happens from this point?
Jung gets up to try to stop Socrates from showing Nietzche the virtues of his method, but Freud stops him and tries to argue that watching is more important then stepping in to change a situation, since more can be learned from the former, and also that the knife is clearly a symbol of Socrates obsession with his penis, also the fact that Nietzche has had that straw in his mouth all night shows that he has an oral obsession. Jung hangs back for far too long and the deed is done, Socrates spits on the corpse exclaiming "Nunc etiam mortuus" and spits on his body. Then a telephone booth appears, a young man with a black vest comes out and yell "So-crates! We have to go!" and Socrates hops in, they teleport away. "See we learned much more this way" Freud said smugly. "Your a member of the asshole archetype" Jung says quietly as he drinks his beer.
7. How do you feel about further regulation of the industrial farming industry if it greatly raises the price of food?
Personally, I'd rather we just change the way subsidies work, I have no issue with the way farming works now, except for how animals are treated, but I feel that can be fixed without having to get into regulation too much.
8. To date who is the most morally upright public figure you can think of?
Depends on whos moral code. Personal? JFK maybe? Fuck this is a hard one.
9. Name a rap album, literally name one fucking rap album.
Holden Caufield, or possibly that idiot from The Awakening
Edna Pontellier or whoever? Least favorite character? Isn't that kind of blaming the victim? Sure, she put herself in some questionable situations where she was statistically at a greater risk for harm. But shouldn't characters be allowed to do those things without expecting some harsh condemnation from society? I'd say that once Kate Chopin got the drink in her, she was liable to go out and damage whomever she might find, if not Edna then any other female protagonist, and really the onus lies with her.
Annie it took me while to remember the name of Common Market. With Fresh Espresso, I'd bought their album way back when they first showed up on the local scene and I had to find it.
I knew them because they got local play and played locally.

Everything I do is effortless.
2. If you ran a city state what would be the first five words or less of your first public address?
Let Rome in Tiber melt.
3. Is english your first language? Do you speak other languages?
Yes. I've studied Spanish, German, Russian, and Japanese. Spanish is probably the only one I could still read more than the most basic sentences or phrases in. My grasp of Cyrillic and kana are probably awful at this point.

A good seafood bisque.

Eek the Cat.

The ocean and its desolate silence are waiting impatiently behind all of this noise—so covetous and certain of their prey.
7. How do you feel about further regulation of the industrial farming industry if it greatly raises the price of food?
This is an overwhelmingly complicated field of inquiry, and there's no way I've developed a satisfactory answer at present. Global agriculture is likely due complete reconsideration at this point. But at least I cleaned up the questionnaire copy.
8. To date who is the most morally upright public figure you can think of?
This isn't really a quality I expect in the public sphere, so I'm not generally looking for it. Hard to say.

It's cool. I understand people not being familiar with rap, though I do think it's quickly approaching a ubiquity, at least in homogenized American culture, where unfamiliarity is becoming a conscious effort for anyone that is generally interested in music.
But people do this weird compartmentalizing of music with genres and with "the mainstream" as an other, something I participated in probably through the entire first half of my teenage run, that I think is ultimately counterintuitive to enjoying music. Limiting an understanding of rap to TV, commercial radio, or "whatever this whole rap jay-z kanye chris-ladybeater stuff is" will soon be either naive or kinda disingenuous.
I know I kinda singled out your posts while speaking to a larger mix of sentiments in the thread, though. This isn't really a serious criticism of you or what you like. I'm just going in and out of sleep and kinda free forming this shit.

I tots understand your message here. Also, reads like you caught my vibe.
To be honest, I listen to a huge amount of EDM but I couldn't really tell you any EDM albums, because I only really listen to that stuff on youtube which I then click through looking for good stuff, then add things I like to my big-ass playlists. Albums seem kind of passe to me these days as an industry format. Still a worthy artistic structure though.

1. In the early nineties I remember commercials where people would do stupid shit for ice cream. What is the best example you can remember where you were putting in a lot of effort for a small outcome?
I spent about 6 months making an album with my band. A solid week at a studio with an apartment next door for sleeping and eating, in the booth until 4am playing the same loop 100 times, mixing, mastering, writing, jamming, arranging. Hundreds and hundreds of hours of work. And the producer we hired for a silly amount of money bailed on us and fucked off back to England one morning, leaving our asshole hippy bass player to triumphantly take the reigns and eventually put out a liquid fart of an album which nobody bought and I've only had the stomach to listen to twice.
2. If you ran a city state what would be the first five words or less of your first public address?
"What have you idiots done?"
3. Is english your first language? Do you speak other languages?
Yes. I studied German for 7 years but I'm hilariously inept at speaking it. I can vaguely understand it when it's written and even more vaguely when it's spoken.
4. Favorite soup.
Tomato. With grilled cheese for dippin
5. Who is your least favorite character.
Cersei Lannister.
6. Socrates and Nietzche are in a bar, Jung and Freud look on in the back booth, and see Socrates produce a knife. What happens from this point?
Kafka bursts through the door and turns everyone into a bug.
7. How do you feel about further regulation of the industrial farming industry if it greatly raises the price of food?
It might seem glib, but I think food is underpriced anyway. The Economy isn't centered around things that you need to survive anymore, it's centered around words and ideas and virtual agreements. Futures Traders make millions and farmers go bankrupt. It is all ass backward.
8. To date who is the most morally upright public figure you can think of?
The best example I can think of right now is Carl Sagan. Dude wasn't mean or dismissive to anyone, he just wanted everyone to realise that their petty bullshit doesn't really matter and just stop and look up and think for a moment about how amazing and unbelievable it is that we're even here right now.

6. Socrates and Nietzche are in a bar, Jung and Freud look on in the back booth, and see Socrates produce a knife. What happens from this point?
Socrates tells Nietzsche, "I've got a letter for you from the faithful," and stabs Nietzsche right in the stomach. Nietzsche falls to the floor, dying, and thanks Socrates for the greatest of all human blessings.
Freud observes that they should not allow Socrates' wickedness to become wickedness in their own hearts, to which Jung rolls his eyes and responds, "Whatever, dad."

Around the end of last year some folks started to put a little bit of rap on the internet.
Oh, I see you found some. No need to mince terms on that, really.
