NAN TURNERinterview |
RS- What what the best day of your year? Nan- Definitely when I saw The Two Towers because I have a forbidden love with Legolas and Strider. RS- What was the worst day? Nan- When I got laid off from my job I was pretty bummed. But then I was happy. So maybe that wasn't my worst day, but crying in my former boss's office isn't a great memory. RS- Was was your worst fight ever? Nan- hmm probably a fight i had with an ex-boyfriend where we were both screaming in an italian restaurant. an unhappy version of billy joel's song. i'm not so discreet sometimes. RS- How was it shooting the second season of "the Osbournes"? Nan- well, sometimes I get tired of having my private life picked apart, but hey, it sells records doesn't it? my new song shut up is fabulous but i wish my drummer would stop trying to take the spotlight from me. i told jack i didn't want a girl drummer cause i knew she would try to steal the show. i think i want to fire my whole band now actually. RS- What was your favorite record this year? Nan- definitely not christina aguilera's stripped. that sucks rocks. i like regina spektor's "Songs" and Major Matt's new record. I've been rediscovering the genius of Liz Phair as well. I also like Yoko Kikuchi, Randi Russo, The Leader, The Trachtenberg Family Slideshow Players, Knot Pinebox, The Kirby Grips....ah there's so many! RS- What do you think will happen next year? Nan- I think that more people will decide to be vegitarians. And that George Bush will develop insomnia and acid reflux because he keeps hearing that people are protesting the war. RS- When did you record your album? Nan- well i'm glad you asked that. I recorded Leg Out from in the spring of 2002 w/ Major Matt Mason USA. We worked in an intermittent fashion. a couple hours here, an afternoon there. Now I want to record another whole cd. Think the last one was a little short. RS- Did it end up being a good distraction? Nan- From the rest of my life? of course. though I am just tired of the paparazzi climbing up my fire escape to view my "creative process". enough already! get your own process! RS- What fun stuff did you do in New York? Nan- i went trawling for sinners. i got trashed, met leonardo di caprio who really cannot act for shit, and then I called my friend in alaska cause i missed her. RS- Did you do much shopping in New york? Nan- i bought a plastic jesus at a thrift store. i hate shopping and i hate clothes. i don't want to wear clothes anymore. RS- What's the most extravagant thing you bought this year? Nan- i paid a couple hundred bucks for color copies of my cd art at kinko's. that almost did me in. RS- Do you get a lot of free clothes? Nan- yes. my neighbor is always knocking on my door giving me clothes she can't wear anymore, like fleece vests and flip flops. I also steal socks and sweaters from major matt. RS- Are you going out with that guy in the used? Nan- the only guy i'm going out with is the extremely talented singer in Creed. HA HA. no i'm with major matt! i love him. RS- What's the longest-term boyfriend you've ever had? Nan- the major. 3 and a half years. RS- Which of your hairstyles this year did you like best? Nan- When Anu dyed my hair pinky red. RS- Are you and Jack competitive at all? Nan- no. he hates my guts and says he hopes i trip on stage but i don't think we're competitive in any way. RS- If you had to sum up this year in five words... Nan- um....well......i learned stuff. RS- I haven't heard anything, no. Start a rumor about yourself. Nan- All my songs are about my cat gummo. and i'm 21 years old. |
