I've never been. I wanted to go when I was a kid, but never got a chance to. I'd still sort of want to go now, like if somehow the chance presented itself - I'd hop on it, but the magic of Disney stuff is sort of lost on me so I'm not sure if I'd enjoy it the same as I would've back then.
-
Usually I have some sort of portable media device. A handheld game, mp3 player, or something. If I'm traveling alone I can just zone out with those things, in my own thoughts, or staring out of the window. Otherwise, I'm hopefully with someone that I don't mind talking to until we get to where we're going.

I've had a few request to do projects with producers that I've worked with in the past & all I can say is that it comes down to 2 things: time + sound.
If they have the time and can put forth the effort to work on more material with me & if either of us are currently doing a sound that would mesh well together.
The things we did back then is kind of like a snapshot of us then, in present time we could be in total opposite directions to that. We can't really recreate what we did then or flip a switch and instantly be in "Particle (moments)" mode again and even if we could then it'd be forced and no good could come from that. For now, I'll say that I'm not against it, but perhaps you should just enjoy whatever we did in the past because we've already written those songs & there's no point in treading already covered ground. -
Prefer "skinny" girls (I'm pretty scrawny myself), but won't treat a "big" girl like the plague. She could be a really cool person.
-
I would love to help you out with that, but I'm not really an animator & the videos I have made are usually just me messing around with public domain footage or with whatever video capturing device I have on hand at the time. At any rate, I hope you find someone that can help out more than I can. Good luck with the podcast too!

I've got a few that are tops and I can't get enough of. Is it ok if I just rattle off a few favorites?
If we're talking Disney stuff, I'd go with "The Sword In The Stone" (hands down!)
As for something anime-related, that's even trickier but I'd say my top 5 are "My Neighbor Totoro", "Pom Poko", "Robot Carnival", "Project A-Ko", & "Mind Game". -
Hardware: Tascam Portastudio DP-02CF, MXL V63M condenser mic, Akai Pro LPK 25, and an old Compaq computer (running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - Lucid Lynx) I've had for the past 7 or 8 years.
Software: Audacity, Qtractor, ZynADDSubFX Software Synthesizer, & Hydrogen Drum Machine -
Maybe. I've never been really into live performances or crowds. It was just me dipping my toes in the water so to speak, and honestly there's not many other ways to make people aware of my music or that I even exist without doing a gig every now & again. I dropped out of music all together for awhile, but since I'm back I might do a one-off show or maybe two in the upcoming year. It'll be more thought out & rehearsed so, I'm sure it will be a lot better than the things I've done in the past. There'll be at least 30% less nervousness as an added bonus feature.

I guess alternative would be the easiest way to label what I like. I love several straight genre (e.g. rap, jazz, rock, ect.) but when it gets broken into subgenre or fused together into something different is when I really get excited. That sort of thing and all the bedroom, kinda lo-fi, fuzzed out, reverb/delay/distortion heavy stuff.
-
Sure, I do. I'm more into finding out about more stuff on Earth & some cryptozoology. There's still things being discovered about species we thought we knew all about and there's new things being found out about everyday. We don't even know all about our own planet so, extraterrestrials are just something I daydream about from time to time.
-
There's too much music to choose from....! But, the 1st thing that popped in my mind was Brothertiger's song "Lovers"
-
I'm not too sure. Bits of everything I've taken in over the years (& still observing) inspire me in someway or another. I can't pin it down to just one person or a singular thing.
-
Somewhat. But, it makes me wonder - if everything is fated & destined, what's the use in trying? What will be, will be. I guess I subscribe to the naive, movie-version of fate where you have to earn your happy ending with a bit of effort and some mishaps. But, that's not really fate is it?
-
Yep. The real question is "Do you believe in magic?"
-
Let's say 1 & 1/3. English is my main language, I can get by a bit in Japanese, & I know random words and phrases of other languages, but not enough to claim to speak them.
-
For the most part I'm just a regular guy. Not much to say. I'm usually going on about some video game, comic, cartoon, or tv show. Work is.. well, work. Unless you want to hear endless complaints about day jobs - let's not go there. Otherwise, I just try to live a quiet, simple life & create as many things as I can.
-
I'm not super-interested in working with too many musicians right now, but I'd love to work with directors, animators, game devs, & comic artist on some sort of multimedia project.
-
Creative, nice, & ladies with personality. If you paint, draw, write, sing, film, play an instrument, photograph, really good at Street Fighter II, or just highly into those sorts of things then I'm very likely to have a crush on you. And if you don't act like a jerk then you'll have extra brownie points with me. I'm all about cute girls, but something has to be said about someone that can hold a conversation beyond reality shows & the parts of pop culture I'm not so into. Somewhat like-minded, cultured, could teach me a thing or two, or show me something new. That's the kind of women I like. Sometimes a winning personality and/or cuteness works as a good fix though.

The only way to get better at anything is to consistently do it. If it's any rappers that he admires, study what they do, even copy if he has to until he gets an idea of who he is as a rapper. Getting comfortable with his voice is something I think is important; knowing what works for him & accepting the fact that his early attempts are gonna be pretty lame. If he knows anyone around him that raps, he should hang out with them & rap as much as possible. I can't stress enough how much practicing matters. Like I said, these things can apply to anything, not just rapping. That's about the best advice I can give. Good luck to him!

Thanks man & happy holidays to you as well! Definitely appreciate the well wishes too; got a feeling I'll need 'em throughout the new year. As always man, I'm flattered that something I created had some sort of impact or relevance to anyone. Thanks for tuning in & you've gotta let me hear some of your material whenever you feel it's ready for the general public's ears. Best wishes for whatever you have a go at in 2011 & beyond dudebro. PEACE!
