Interview the person below you: 3 is a magic number

[Fassa Albrecht]

In no order: worship music (despite having little desire to ever play this again), rock, jazz.

Fave item of clothing?

 

[kesslari]

The top hat that my wife gave me this year for my birthday.

Item of clothing you've owned longest?

 

[Fassa Albrecht]

Likely the ski jacket that's my winter jacket, which I've had some 9 years.

Fave house decorations?

 

[Papa Dangerous]

I have a strange sense of decoration and currently only decorate my room since I am still under my parent's roof. But I have this tree looking thing. Very Tim Burton esq. I hang random things on it, but my ex placed this fake bright red flower on it that adds the perfect sense of awesomeness. I will upload a pic... maybe.


Have any out of the ordinary routines completed most days of the week?

 

[Chebass88]

I threw the horse over the fence some food on Wednesday.

I have to study for an exam tomorrow. How do you like to study?

 

[Fassa Albrecht]

Usually by revising over the main areas of the subject and what they mean (so for example, for psychology, I'd look over the definitions of the different fields of psychology and their research methods etc.) before moving onto the subtopics contained within those headings. I tend to find revising something and then coming back to it some time later to repeat it works for me.

What's the best form of exercise in your opinion?

 

[Jimbob Jones]

Cycling, but I'm biased.

What physical activity is your idea of hell?

 

[Papa Dangerous]

Riding my bike. I used to take it every where when I was at school, but now I live in the mountains. I took it for a 16 mile ride once in under 3 hours. That was the most intense thing... ever. Every time I scale up a massive hill, I would decline like half way and have to go back up. By the time I finished, my legs were trembling as I walked up the stairs and it felt awkward to walk again. Strangely enough, they were not sore the next day like other muscles after a workout. I think coffee and pasta helped me in providing that boost of energy needed, but the next time I tried it.. I almost threw up after tackling this huge hill. My heart was racing like a horse.


Since we on physical activities, and the majority of bassists seem to need these things more than others.... Ever play for a league of some sort?

 

[Fassa Albrecht]

I used to play in my uni intra-mural (friendlies) football team, in a ClasSoc (Classics Society) team. Strangely it was a men's team...and I was on it.


The sport you would LOVE to be professional in?

 

[Papa Dangerous]

I do not know if you consider Martial Arts a sport, but than again, cheerleading is considered one. If not that, than baseball. I always played when I was younger, along with football - but football leads to too many injuries and I am dealing with consequences now. (damn knees)


What do you hate most about your current job? The number one thing that just pushes you over the edge and makes you wanna slap the stupid off of someone?

 

[kesslari]

Short-sightedness - when people look at a known problem, with significant known impact, and pretend that it won't impact them (and so they don't have to do the known, solutions-that-work) because they're afraid that it will negatively impact their schedule.
Makes me want to do percussive maintenance with a clue-by-four.

What do you most enjoy about your current job?

 

[Papa Dangerous]

I work in a music store selling keyboards. There is a lot to love but also a lot to despise. Discounts on gear does great for bad gas, great people with great personalities help the day go along, but there is a really awesome feel of satisfaction when you help someone out and get them on their way with their new instrument.


Anyone need some keyboard recommendations???? xD

 

[Fassa Albrecht]

Haha I'll be sure to PM you if I do!

What kind of stuff is fun to do which is free/cheap?

 

[Chebass88]

Running, lifting heavy things, practicing a bass you already own, reading a book you already own.

Do you like Pho, and if so, how do you like it?

 

[Papa Dangerous]

I have no idea what Pho is, but google suggests a Powershares Water Resources or noodles of Vietnam and Guangdong. I might like them if I try them, but until than, I cannot answer yes to this question.


Most obscure item in your room?

 

[Fassa Albrecht]

Possibly the saké flask and cups I have sitting on my shelf


Fave piece of jewelry (inc. watches)?

 

[Big_Daddy]

My only piece of jewelry. It's a silver necklace my girlfriend got me a few years ago for our first Christmas together. It's the shape of a bass pick, and it says 'I love you, Brandon' on one side, and 'forever & always' on the other. It's silver, so I like it even more. I'm not one for fanciness or anything of the sort.


Favorite pair of shoes?

 

[Fassa Albrecht]

Possibly my trainers...they've lasted a good couple of years now, were cheap and are comfy.

Best thing to eat when it's cold?

 

[Papa Dangerous]

Chicken soup with fresh veggies (carrots, potatoes, celery), chicken legs on the bone, ditalini pasta, a bit of grated cheese on top, and Italian bread on the side. Maybe some olive oil with red pepper, garlic and a dash of salt for dipping it in.


Are you hungry now?

 

[Alvaro Martín Gómez A.]

Are you hungry now?

Nope. I had my lunch less than an hour ago.

Right now I'm listening to Medeski, Martin and Wood. Do your like their music?
