HaloXero Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Mike recently did an interview with Fresh Art for their series entitled "21 Questions". It's a pretty different interview, but it's comical. Check it out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papelbon Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 FN: 50 years from now, you would like for people to look back at your art and say…. Mike: “I knew I should’ve bought that when it was cheap. Fuck.” LOL FN: When was the last time you spoke to yourself out loud? Mike: That’s funny. I do that whenever I say something that I know is awkward. Do you ever do that? Like when you’re leaving on a trip, and someone takes you to the airport, and they say, “Have a nice trip,” and you say, “You too,” but the second you say it, you realize they’re not going anywhere–they’re going home. Once I’m out of sight, I usually verbally berate myself quietly after doing that. Haha, I do that too... FN: What advice do you have for up and coming artists? Mike: I’m not convinced there is a real reason for an artist with less than, let’s say, 30,000 fans on a mailing list to sign with a major label anymore. If you don’t have that many fans, and anyone approaches you, get their number and keep in touch. When you have a lot of fans and some serious hype, you’ll have a lot more leverage when it comes time to tell the major label “no, I want to own my website, fan club, and all my merch.” Do I see a F*** Warner in there somewhere? FN: Which look would you prefer to rock, the flock of seagulls cut or the REO Speedwagon mullet? Mike: I’ve already rocked an REO Speedwagon mullet on a dare, so I guess I’d be more into trying something new. OMG, that would be hilarious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
