THE EVER-INCREASING INTERVIEW PROJECT

 

"The history of thought is the history of an ever-increasing approximation to the truth."
- Erich Fromm (Man for Himself)

It's pretty simple. I had a few questions and I thought it would be interesting to read the variety of answers I would get to some of life's more meaningful, and sometimes meaningless questions.
I also wanted to ask as many people as I could who were involved within the many independent art and music scenes, while trying to include - and contact - some of my favored,
and today's most praise-worthy bands, record labels, artists, writers, business owners and websites.
Many responded and helped me begin, what I hope to be, an encyclopedic undertaking to challenge all schools of epistemology.
I thank them all for answering. I thank you all for reading on.

Also, I realize some aren't even questions, but commands. Inquisitive, but pushy... yeah, that sounds like one of my projects.

The questions are as follows:

1 - Tell us how your project(s) were started.
2 - What does music, in its entirety, mean to you?
3 - What does art, in its entirety, mean to you?
4 - Who is your favorite author, and why?
5 - As your best friend, describe yourself.
6 - As your worst enemy, describe yourself.
7 - If your persona were immortalized as a cartoon character, who would it be?
8 - Do you think there are conspiracies against the "everyday person"?
9 - What do you do with your spare or free time?
10 - Please give us your interpretation of "the meaning of life".
