Quickies - Seymour from Miss Black America
Death or glory? Glory, better than death.
Worst habit? Just trying to pick out the worst from all of the bad ones...there’s too many! Obsessive quoting probably. And vegetarianism.
Lowest thing you would do/ have done for money? I would do anything for money. I really have no standards. You could offer me a pound and I would stick my head through glass. A pound or a bag of chips.
Cake or death? Chicken.
If you had to create your own fantasy festival, what would it be called and who would be your three headliners? It’d be called ‘Seymour Patrick Glass - Multinational Mullet Fest’ and I would have to have Iron Maiden headlining, not coz I like them but because they’re Iron Maiden and it’d be the most awesome stage show that I'd have ever seen. Depeche Mode, Blur circa 93, Tori Amos, U2 circa 92, PJ Harvey circa 93 and Take That - and that would be the most awesome festival ever. My dad’s just bought me a Take That duffel bag thing.
What record will always get you dancing? Wish by Nine Inch Nails.
Last person you wanted to punch? Zak.
What was the first record you ever bought? Ned’s Atomic Dustbin - Bite.
What object do you desire the most? I can’t tell you her name, it’ll get me in trouble.
Weirdest thing you’ve ever done on your own? It was at Butlins, but I won’t tell you! It was an awakening, let’s put it that way! My parents had gone out, I got bored of The Generation Game!
Name one thing you love that’s critically reviled. Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine.
Best thing you’ve ever bought in a pound shop? Batman mug. Well it was an Easter egg but you got a free Batman mug.
Worst job you’ve ever had? Andy’s Records. The chicken factory was bad but Andy’s Records - I couldn’t understand how anyone could work in a music shop and be that miserable but everyone was that miserable. It just sapped the joy out of being with so many records. That was pretty miserable coz I always wanted to work in a record shop. Chicken factory was pretty bad, they looked like babies, when they’re falling at you from a rack six foot above your head, they look like babies with no heads.
How much money would it take you to pose naked? I'd never pose naked! I don’t know actually...maybe a quid!
If you could swap places with anyone for a day, who would it be and why? Alec Empire maybe. I'd be a woman, I'd be Tori Amos for a day. See what it was like, just have her hair.
How would you like to die, and how would you like to be remembered? I wanna die alongside my best friend listening to something I really like. I liked to be remembered, hopefully not in a bad way. People never remember you how you’d wish to be remembered, it’d probably be fair in my case though.
