what's your process of naming songs?

i have one for you, "everything sweet is exceptionally bitter."  no?  how about "the up arrow only leads me down?"

where do you go to find ideas

seeing him tomorrow guys at five, LAST SECOND QUESTIONS?

Yeah I have one, what the fuck is going on here?

...it's pretty obvious isn't it?

I'm interviewing Porcupine Tree in like 5 hours.

did you not read the topic at all?

also happy birthday thejackyl.

5 HOURS.
Damnit, i can't help you with questions...

... but my FRIEND can. In fact, he is a PT fan and all, i try to contact him.

##EDIT##
Hey ho i contacted my friend he classifies this as IMPORTANT so he will be figuring out questions

edit2
HEH YOULL NEVER EVEN RELIAZE WHAT HIT YOU (hint:trains)


##EDIT 3##

Will you tell us the answers and how the interview went etc. = Give us a report about the interview, will you?

yeah, steve might have a recording, who knows.

1. How do you distribute your ideas and inspiration among your several projects, No-man, Blackfield, Porcupine Tree and so on?
Does certain kind of material you come up with identify with certain projects?

2. Through what kind of a process do your songs evolve and what's the role of the rest of Porcupine Tree in this process?
(Do you, for example, write the songs all by yourself?)

3. You've said before that in order to create something new, musicians should try to mix together styles and genres that haven't yet been mixed.
How do you see the future of music? Where are we headed and is this what we should be aiming for?

4. What kind of music do you listen to / what are your influences? What is your opinion in your own music / what is your favourite and least favourite PT album?

Bonus:

5. What kind of thoughts or feelings would hope your music to evoke in people? Do you feel there's somekind of a message in it, or is its main purpose to entertain?


all hail Markus and Guana! also this better be real or i will p*nch you in the face ned

(12:59:20) The Steve: man, we need to think up some good questions to ask steve wilson now
(12:59:27) The Steve: GW Go!

its up to you now...

Is his favorite TV show King Of Queens?

update: Steven Wilson hates Spock's Beard, the Flower Kings, and 50 Cent, and likes De La Soul, Public Enemy, and Godspeed You Black Emperor. I talked about Chamillionaire with him and he also mentioned how much he hates the internet!

also he put me on the guest list for his show tonight.

I got a recording of the interview, although he answered some questions off mic, but I'll put it up later. no pics tho my camera is out of power!

Teloch where are you!!!

If you're going to the lincoln theater, let's meet faggot!

Yeah, doesn't he pretty much hate ALL prog except for like Marillion?

Edit: for the record I am using prog as like a generic term here.

interesting that he lumps De La Soul, Public Enemy and Godspeed You! Black Emperor together

but yeah I cant wait to hear this

no, he likes Genesis, King Crimson, 3 for some fucking reason, and I think he mentioned a few local groups that he liked. he liked the notion of PROGRESSION, really.

anyways that was tight as hell. because of our guest list, we got to skip the line that went all the way down the back and get in front.

3 was okay. I don't like them at all really, I think the singer is shit, the lyrics are hokey, and it's all way too Coheed, but live, they really are sharper.

PT is just...fucking...tight.

there is no way to describe how COHESIVE the band was. they played everything off Fear of a Blank Planet, plus almost all their big songs except for Radioactive Toy and Trains.

this was really good and I'm glad I went, and I might have even paid the 15/20 bucks for it!

also fuck you teloch, did you see me? I was in front in the bright orange shirt, and one of two minorities (the other one, not the fat black guy).

edit: ugh I dont know how to use internet

Now that you mention about the differences of mp3 compression,

glad to hear it went well. Also upload both report and the recorded interview if you could.
DO THIS AND THIS NEXT .AFTER THAT YOU SHOULD etc

EVERYONE loves Public Enemy.
