What are you wearing today?
"[...] I sort of tend to follow the trendy aspects of things."
[...]

Which rock star has the most style?
"I guess Gwen Stefani. She doesn’t follow trends."

This reminds me of a great Bruno segment on the Ali-G show where he gets the fashion designers to say a seemingly endless stream of totally contradictory soundbytes.

My mind cannot accept that these people are real either. How can L.A. people be accused of being the phony ones when people like this exist in the world?

Haha, I was just about to make the same reference to the Bruno episode!

Maybe it is a joke. I wouldn't have suspected, except it's WIND-UP RECORDS he works for. Come on.

I'm not sure how people on this thread keep managing to miss the fact that Wind-Up is not only a "real label," but the record label of Evanescence and Creed.

And Alter Bridge! What does that name mean?

I always thought that mook rock labels would have reallu hip mooks working for them not trust fund hipsters....

It's the one thing that jumped out at me, actually, which was why I brought it up. Wind-Up Records, of all the record labels to work for - shouldn't he be kind of embarrassed about promoting ACTIVE RAWK if he's into the Arcade Fire and etc? I thought Wind-Up would get a guy looking like Carson Daly or something. Sorry.. it's reflexive.. in my corny indie college radio days we'd always be like oh shit, another album from Wind-Up.. why do they even send us these.

Maybe all the apparent contradictions just point to the this guy being some sort of Teenage Zelig.

Teenage in the Kim Fowley sense of course.
