Getting To Know …JASON SMITH!!!



Recording or Performing Live?

I've always really considered myself to be a recording artist, and I don't perform live very often, but... when I do, it's amazing. I'd have to say that I prefer performing live, because I can just do crazy shit and see the reactions of the crowd.

Morning or Evening?

Evening of course. Interesting things happen more often in the night time. Also, I can catch the best Pokemon at night, so...

What is your worst habit?

I have a tendency to strip naked for no reason at all. Probably just to show off. Some people like that, some people get fed up with it happening all the time.

What is your favourite song of the moment?

That's a tricky one... I'm really digging Lazarus by Quarantine though. Quarantine are one of the best bands of all time.

What is your favourite song of all time?

This one's pretty simple, Price to Pay by Blood of Wecz. It is simply a metal masterpiece. Abso-fucking-lutely legendary.

What is your favourite musician/band?

Shiiiiiit... that's slightly harder... I'd have to say, again, Blood of Wecz. However, Black Gold Reign and The Nimrods are definitely up there. I also feel obliged to say Infinite.

What is your favourite movie?

Hmmm... I watch a lot of films, so that's a toughie. In terms of pure, great acting, I'd have to go with The Godfather II. I do like a lot of comedies though. Pineapple Express and the Austin Powers trilogy are films that I watch very regularly.

What would be your perfect day?

Waking up next to my beautiful wife, having lots of sex and then falling asleep. That sounds pretty much perfect to me, if I'm being honest.

What is your best memory of your childhood?

I'd really rather not talk about my childhood, since I was adopted by my uncle and aunty when I was, like, 5 years old and they still think I'm dead, but... it was probably getting my favourite acoustic guitar for my 10th birthday. That's still stuck firmly in my head.

Tell us something nobody else knows about you?

Something nobody else knows? Let me think... I'm a really open person, so I'm trying to think of something that nobody else will know. I seriously can't think of anything. Well... I have attended 5 Vengaboys concerts in my lifetime.

If you could date anyone in the music industry, who would it be?

Cassie SummersSmith, of course. Wait, apart from her? Uhhhhh... Eric Quillington, of course.

What would be your 3 wishes?

1. That I could just live a relatively normal life.
2. To have knowledge of the infinite void.
3. Just once, not to fuck up whilst doing something.

Would you rather have worldwide success or true love?

I'm lucky that I have both already. I would, of course though, rather have true love. Love makes the world go round. Well, it doesn't really, but love's pretty cool anyway.

What do you think happens when we die?

We go into an eternal dream like state. Although it'll take a while to get your bearings first, you will eventually realise that you're in a dream and you'll be lucid. This will enable you to control and manipulate your dreams, and basically create your own heaven. Either that, or an eternal blankness. I hope it's the former, if I'm being honest.

What are your 5 life goals?

5 life goals?

1. To win Sexiest Male at an awards ceremony, JUST FOR ONCE.
2. To always have my friends and family by my side through thick and thin.
3. To not make everyone hate me.
4. Get through the Water Temple level on Ocarina of Time.
5. Live a long and happy life.

Life, the Universe, and Reckoning (Blog#1)
[By Eric 'Quixotic' Quillington}

There's a side of me that always feels as though I squander the gifts given to me in life. A solo contract to Studio60 has been granted, but I still have yet to do anything with it. Although that might be changing later, but it's a story for another story. I also have been given the distinction of becoming a columnist. But, sadly, I'm a lazy little rock-star, thus I've only ever written my introductory passage. That changes today, my friends. And so, months later, here I am; Eric Quillington, columnist of Culture Uncut. Oddly enough, I'm not exactly sure what type of writer I'll be. There are many, many of the self-proclaimed 'bitches' out there, so it'd be very uncreative on my behalf to follow in their footsteps. For now, I'll just write a about what matters to me in the world; we'll see where it takes us.

A long time ago, I was a scrappy young lad. Same as I am now, but I wore rags and tattered clothes instead of the diamond-crusted crowns of today. The most important thing in the world to me was music, as it still is now. Rock-stars were like gods in my eyes; as imperfect as they might be, there was nothing else quite so awe-inducing. And there was no modern band greater than Reckoner. Thankfully, after a painfully long hiatus, they're back. Well, just Troy Mascenon, the singer. But it won't be long before the other pieces fall into place. This little bit of news is particularly important because I sort of grew up with them. As my musical career with Infinite kicked off, the bonds I shared with the group continued to strengthen. It sort of reached an apex when we supported them at Wembley, which will forever be known as one of the greatest days of my life. Troy also watched me become the rock-star I am today, so I'd like to think he's proud of what I've become. Probably not, as I'm Eric Quillington, but it's fun to pretend.

One little bit of information before this comes to a conclusion; I'd also like to do something in this column that's along the lines of bragging. As I don't want to sound too arrogant, I'll focus on one area of my life in particular. The best part; Glamazon. Or Victoria. But, as someone said recently, 'there's no sexier of a stage name than Glamazon'. And I wholeheartedly agree. Not only is she sexy, but she's also rather supernatural. In many ways, she's the axe-wielding superhero of the musical world. For example; just last week she convinced everyone in the Big Brother house that she was a ghost, prompting fully-grown men to scream like a little girl. Can your girlfriend cause that kind of a reaction, Mr. Smith? Actually, yeah, she probably can. Never mind.

It pains me to say this, but I have yet to come up with a cringe-inducing farewell catchphrase. In the future, I will find the perfect sequence of words. For now, I'll steal one; stay classy, San Diego.

Getting To Know … RYAN & JOSH [MISERY LOVES COMPANY]!!!



Recording or Performing Live?

Ryan: Thats tough! I would probably say playing live though. Recording music gets us so hyped, we love making new music and getting it out to the fans, but there is nothing quite like it when your playing live and the room echos with the fans singing along. Thats the biggest buzz we get.

Morning or Evening?

Josh: Evening. Morning's are good for recording because its when we are all most focused, but you can't beat a nice evening.

What is your worst habit?

Ryan: Ill answer for Josh, he can answer for me. I would probably say his worst habbit is how often he spaces out. You be talking to him then the next second he'll be like.. "What?". *laughs*

Josh: Ryan's worst habbit is definitely the long that he takes doing his hair! Straighteners are out in the morning, then the wax, then the hairspray. Then in the evening the same again. Also the fact that he plays with his hair constantly! The man's crazy about his hair. *laughs*

What is your favourite song of the moment?

Ryan: Ohhh! Im going to say Loverboy by You Me At Six!

Josh: Ill second that, loving that jam.

What is your favourite song of all time?

Josh: Ok. Ill say my most played on my iPod. Architects - An Open Letter To Myself.

Ryan: Probably Free by The Maine. Great little song.

What is your favourite musician/band?

Ryan: I really like The Verdict Is Vengeance! I love their material which was a big reason why wanted to collab with them.

Josh: Hmm. Im really feeling Sammy Griffin y'know. Love how laid back his music is, you can literally listen to it no matter what mood your in.

What is your favourite movie?

Ryan: The Breakfast Club! Love this film so much. Fantastic concept and story line behind it.

Josh: I gotta shout for Backdraft. I seriously watched this film about a million times when i was a kid. All i ever wanted to be was a fireman so badly! But ill settle for being in a band with these idiots instead. *laughs*

What would be your perfect day?

Ryan: Spend some time with the family in the morning. Release a song afterwards, i love releasing songs to the fans.. its the apprehension of how they will perceive it. Then headline a huge festival.. where the crowd sing the words back to us.. goosebumps at the thought.

Josh: I would say Ryan's because that would be a perfect day. But, another perfect day for me, would be to wake up without a hangover, manage to get through my day well. See my girlfriend (if i had one at the time). Then travel long distance to a show on our tour bus. The fun we have on that bus will live with me forever, spending it with my best friends in the world. Then as Ryan said, play an awesome show.

What is your best memory of your childhood?

Ryan: Hmm. Probably my toy guitar. I loved that thing. I used to perform shows for my family on christmas, making riffs from a electronic toy run on batteries. You couldn't take the smile of my face though! *laughs*

Josh: I still think of myself as a kid! Although, i would have to go for school! You don't realize how much you miss High school until its over. But yeah, my whole childhood was generally amazing!

Tell us something nobody else knows about you?

Ryan: *laughs*. Well, i dont know. That's a good one. I cant think. Ill answer Josh's again, he can answer mine.. much easier. Not much people know that Josh has a tendency to fall for girls so easily! Like he is literally hooked on a girl at first sight if he likes her.

Josh: Not true.*laughs*. Here's one for Ryan, barely nobody knows that one of Ryan's nipples grows hair around it, the other doesn't! So it looks really weird and he has to shave his nipple *laughs*

If you could date anyone in the music industry, who would it be?

Ryan: Ooooh! Very good question. Im going to slap on the table, although there is a few. Wait, are you allowed to mention like 10? Ill limit myself to 3.. or 4. Isabel Merjos. Wow. Many Williams. Again, wow. Cinzia Ricci. Babe. God theres so much to say! Ok, ALL of G2L.

Josh: Your so greedy!*laughs*. Hm, would it be boring to say Kate? Ahh, ill be boring then. Ill say Kathleen Kerry *laughs*.

What would be your 3 wishes?

Ryan: That i didnt get old. To own my own record studio/label. Then 10 more wishes.. this could go on forever.

Josh: The old 10 more wishes trick *laughs*. I dont know actually. I Don't think i would use the wishes. Just let fate control your life really.

Would you rather have worldwide success or true love?

Ryan: Aw man! You may call me fame hungry, but its always been my goal to make a huge name for myself. I want true love don't get me wrong, but worldwide success has always been my goal.

Josh: This is going to sound cheesy. True love.

What do you think happens when we die?

Ryan: Your reborn. In a different person of course with no memories on your past life.

Josh: You die basically. I don know, its hard to say. I think when your dead, your dead. I know it sounds stupid but it seems like it makes sense.

What are your 5 life goals?

Ryan: Have a #1 chartin album. Headline festivals. Be known as a music legend. Get happily married. Then live happily ever after. *laughs*

Josh: I like yours. But i want to do more things too, like climb mountains. Star in films. I kinda want to test myself at everything.

(Tanya and Den performing the song "Tomorrow" in London at the Wembley Arena, yesterday)

Orange Titan and Barbie Titan, respectively Den Walnut and Tanya Stephenson, members of the Teen Titans, have confirmed the release dates of their two solo singles: September 9th, 2011 - which is the same date and it may not seem a coincidence, as there is some evident competition between the two, as seen from their tweets that could be taken more than simply jokes between two friends.
The two also both premiered their singles today. "Thunder Of My Energy" by Den - a total Dance Pop song, that is going to cheer you up - and "Alive" by Tanya - Another cheerful but slowlier song, with amazing vocals from Barbie Titan.
We don't know how much these two solo songs will chart, but if they'll chart low, that could only confirm once again how much the Titans have to thank the band name for their success.

Magie Lena revealed the new opener for the USA LEG of the WICCA TOUR this morning..
