some music magazine: karoliena verlinden is a woman on the go. she plays bass for two full time bands and is looking to take her side project on the road. where do you get your energy?

karoliena: pills. various shapes,various colors,and by the handful.*laughs*i guess most of my energy just comes from within.i get bored easily and need something to occupy myself.....maybe i have a.d.d or something.

some music magazine: i've seen clips of the phil spectres on youtube...do you think you guys are ready for the upcoming chasing excuses tour?

karoliena: sure are. a lot of these people have never heard of atomic war bride or bettie and the star chiefs,and therefore have no expectations of us. julia's fanbase from her electrodeath days will be familiar with us,but that will be about it. that aside,bettie and i have wrangled this project into shape. we arent trying to go in 30 seperate directions at once anymore.

some music magazine: that is a good way to describe the spectres shows i've seen on the net.

karoliena: i think that was due to my excitement over not having the war bride's...spectre *giggles* looming over me. contrary to how it seems,writing for the war bride is very....constraining. lets face it, anything that isnt about,oh i dont know......kangaroo butt sex or something would look very out of place. and there is NOTHING wrong with that! i am very proud of my atomic war bride work. i just write a lot of songs that arent cut out for my normal line of work. *takes out a notepad and scribbles "kangaroo butt sex" on it and underlines the words.*

some music magazine: are you familiar with your upcoming tourmates?

karoliena: julia,i have known for ages.she is just one of the kindest people i have ever known. cristina on the other hand...i have never spoken too. i was around when erica and nina implied she killed someone. so hopefully she doesnt remember me,or she doesnt lump me in with the company i keep. so.....i'll get back to you about miss lake.

some music magazine: one final question,the one that is on everyone's lips...

karoliena: yes. they're real. *laughs*

some music magazine: good to know,but no. what about the scott/gia/arianna thing?

karoliena: hogwash.this i just tabloid nonsense to keep people from asking questions about why the world got to see saddam's sons after they were killed,but we cant see osama bin laden's body?! i dont believe osama was killed. the geezer probably keeled over years ago,but they needed him alive in order to keep the perpetual wars going. fuck it. for all i know, osama wasnt even real.he was just some guy in a suit.

some music magazine:.....ok.just when you think you found the sensible member of the hess clan.

karoliena: sensible?! nooooo.i just hold my liquor and drugs better than my companions. truth be told,i've been tripping this entire interview.




ooc: had to cobble the last together quickly.i am leaving work soon.also,the pic might be a tad large.photobucket was acting up on me.

Aimery: Kangaroo Butt Sex conjures up some disturbing images, but it sounds like something you want to hear just cause it sounds cool. Now Karoliena, you can wear a paper bag and still look hot.

karoliena: do you picture the kangaroos wearing safari hats and talking like paul hogan too? *holding up a paper and a plastic bag,then winking.* will that be paper or plastic,aimery?

erica:plastic is see through,but paper falls apart when wet. you really cant lose,aimery.

karoliena: hi,hi,hi there,johnny. nice to know you find that classy. i've been getting all sorts of emails about my "attempts to lead men and sexually confused girls to the gates of hell." first,i didnt think people still got their panties in a wad over pentacles.and second,are they calling my ....area the gates of hell?

erica: i visited the gates of hell,and all i got was a was a sore tongue.

karoliena: ERICA!

erica: sorry. that was terribly crude of me.

karoliena: i'd exect that from nina. but you?!
