Interview With Djime

1. Where are we talking from today?)

(1) Djime is an experimental electronic duo from Seattle, WA" and specializes in creating music for moving bodies and minds. In the fall of 2017, Djime recorded a series of live sessions for their first full-length album release entitled "Octopus Dreams".

(2. How did you get involved with music?)

(2) Djime began as a solo project in which James was experimenting heavily with recorded loops & samples to perform live with a laptop & midi controller. One evening while practicing some new music at a local Seattle open mic James met Ian who was there to perform his own solo material. Their mutual interest in weird and alternative music is what lead them to get together soon after that for songwriting sessions and ultimately began working together as a duo in January 2016 with Ian playing drums.

3. Can you describe your music?

(3) Djime draws their style from swelling guitar builds, high energy synthesizer leads, deep driving bass, thickly layered distortions, mangled drum machine percussion, and live breakbeat jazz drumming.

4. Music wise, what are you working on?

(4) In support of the new album, Djime has also just released a music video on youtube for a track called "Untitled @190 v2.1". The video is an abstract mesh of contrast and pulsing intensity that accompany Djime's already striking music, like falling into a mind's eye that conjures a digital octopus dream.

5. What would you like to say to your fans & the world?

(5) The message of their new album and video is to celebrate being weird and thinking differently, being an independent mind, and being open to what the universe has to say.

WWE TLC - No Tables No Ladders No Chairs?

TLC Highlights The WWE paper view definitely lived up to the hype, well i guess. The paper view itself was great. Every match on the card was exciting, entertaining but there was just one problem, no tables no ladders no chairs. To call itself a TLC paper view the only match that used anything of the sort was the main event. The rest of the nights card featured traditional matches in traditional style. As mentioned earlier over all the matches were great but if your going to call it a TLC paper view actually have matches involved with tables, ladders and chairs. Asuka vs. Emma Winner - Asuka Cedric Alexander & Rich Swann vs. Gentleman Jack Gallagher & The Brian Kendrick Winners - Cedric Alexander & Rich Swann Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss vs. Mickie James Winner - Alexa Bliss WWE Cruiserweight Champion Kalisto vs. Enzo Amore Winner - Enzo Amore Finn Bálor vs. AJ Styles Winner - Finn Balor ...

Interview with The Forgotten 45's

1) Where are we talking from today? A. At rehearsal, in a windstorm without power in Olympia, Washington trying to type by candlelight. 2) How did you get involved in music? A. We are a team of 5 summoned by lord Zordon. Nolan (singer) Nolan's parents both had an appreciation for music and had him singing before he could properly form sentences. Introducing to him the music of the Beatles, Beach Boys, and Michael Jackson. Not much has changed, including his ability to properly form sentences or lack thereof. Cos (bassist) Cos's father was a strong influence in his musical career. Starting at age 7, he taught him how to play guitar, and encouraged him to play in the school jazz band from middle school through high school. At age 16, he got Cos a job playing bass at a local church. Cos met Michael during his freshman year at St. Martin's University, and that summer the band known as String Theory was formed, which has slowly transformed into The Forgotten 45...

13 Questions With J Curly Speegle

1. Where are we talking from today? A. I'm in Nashville, TN 2. Where did you get your artist name from? A. I was the lead guitarist for Rock & Roll Hall of fame Leon Russell from 2005 to 2007. When I joined the band I had long curly hair. Leon mentioned to me after a couple of gigs that he thought that "I ought to have a power name". Hence that day, I became J. "Curly" Speegle... He was big on that sort of thing. His real name was Claude Russell Bridges, so it kinda made sense. 3. Music wise, what are you working on right now? A. I'm actually on a hiatus at the moment. I started touring at 19 or 20 and stayed there for a lot of years, so I'm just enjoying a little downtime... 4. Who or what were the most significant influences on your musical life and career? A. Well, Leon Russell obviously. But there are a lot more that are pretty significant as well. There is a gentleman by the name of Owen...
