Hi there.....This is Trevor with another interview for your viewing pleasure......This one is with Jimi the bassist of the truly excellent band, Tilt......He was also in one of my all-time favorite bands, Screw 32......Although, Tilt has released records on Lookout! and Fat Wreck Chords and have toured all over, the pinnacle of their band history was appearing on the Angus soundtrack......There has been no other movie or soundtrack of equal caliber, range, and quality!......It's a cinematic roller coaster ride of chills, spills, and excitement......Morton and I give it two thumbs up!......Check it out!......Now on to the interview......

So who is this and what makes you so special?

I'm Jimi Cheetah! I'm special because I play in Tilt, served in Screw 32 for it's whole life, and I own and run Cheetah's Records. Plus, I fuck like a locomotive.

What do you think of the reviews for the new album that say you guys sound like Bad Religion with a female vocalist?

They're kind of silly but I respect them. Cinder and Greg Graffin probably have the best vocabularies in punk.

How was your experience of being in Screw 32? What are some of your fondest memories and most hated moments?

There were lots of good and bad times. You really need to buy me a beer and hang out with me for a while to get the good ones. Some of our most fun shows were playing to under 20 people.

What about American society would you change if you had the opportunity? Why?

Crass commercialism and consumerism is one thing I'd change. Money is filthy. I hate corporate advertising. It's evil.

Was Chris Farley really worth all of the attention from his adoring fans?

How the fuck should I know! I don't give a fuck about TV
Note From Trevor: If only I could be as punk as Jimi......sigh

Did you ever used to watch the show "Press Your Luck" with the whammies? It is the best game show known to man. If you watched it, what do you remember about it?

I think my last question answered that.

What is the strangest thing that has ever happened to you thus far in your life?

Life in general is strange.

What are the greatest advantages and disadvantages of having a female lead singer?

She's great. It really is a cool perspective to be in a band with. Plus, cute and smart girls love Tilt.

What cartoons made a difference to you during your childhood and how did they shape you as a person?

I was pretty into Top Cat. I was a super big comic book reader. I sold my collection of 1000 to buy my first guitar.

What do you think about various musical fads? Like punk in the early to mid-90's and ska and swing more recently.

I love all types of music. I think usually when some form of music explodes it just means a lot of lame generic bands are beginning to start playing it. I love the Specials, Two-Tone, "skinhead moonstomp" , Desmond Dekker, etc., but don't give a damn about modern ska. It's the same as how I love Cab Calloway, Dizzy, Louis Armstrong, etc., but I couldn't care less about any of this popular swing stuff. Although, I always will love Brian Setzer.

What impact do you hope to make upon society before your time on earth is through?

I want to change the world.

Next time, you're in town, want to come over to my house? We could have fun. What would you like to do?

I like to explore places.
Note From Trevor: I hope to god he's not talking about anal sex.....

Tell us about your record label. What makes your records better than everyone else's?

I have a big variety of bands. I don't want to get stuck in any one style. I love every record I put out. No matter what style it is, it's all punk to me. I listen to my records all the time.

What are some odd jobs you've held? Any interesting occupational hazards or stories to tell?

I've worked in lots of crappy restaurants, record stores, and warehouses. When I was a record store supervisor I used to fuck half of the girls on staff in the back count-out room. That was pretty fun but I'm not as wild as that anymore.

Are there any daytime television shows that make it worth it to wake up each morning? Regis and Kathie Lee?

Donny and Marie give me a boner.

Any final words for our viewing audience?

Donny and Marie give me a boner.

You know, I was actually thinking about Donny and Marie the other day. Both of them appear to be so wholesome with their little TV show, families, and children but that is far from the truth. Think about it. Both of them have lots of children so you know what that means. Donny and Marie really like to fuck. They love it and they are quite good at it. Wholesome? I think not......Trevor
