²INTERVIEW¹

with ]Archie of LSD[

done by {Cain of Amaze[


]CAIN:[  Hello ]Archie[, how are you?

{ARCHIE:[  Great! How are you ]Cain[? huh?
alright,  I suppose it's you  who  ask
the questions...


]CAIN:[	Please introduce yourself!

{ARCHIE:[  I  am  17  years  old  and  I
celebrate my birthday in late december
(really  stupid,  because  practically
everyone  in  the  world  will  be  18
before me!). I attend  upper secondary
]A-Level[ school and have blond hair and
³brown eyes  (nice girls can contact me
anytime!).  My handle  is  ]ARCHIE[  (no
shit?) and  it  was  inspired  by  the
cartoon  serie  called "]ARCHIE[". Don't
you dare to  place  me  together  with
that fellow in the  cartoon!!!  ehm...
Concerning the scene,  I'm a ]coder[ and
a ]swapper[.  I started swapping 3 and a
half months ago,  but I  can't  say  I
really enjoy  swapping.  It  kills  my
spare  time.  Anyway,  I'm doing  some
serious cutdowns now. I'll try to keep
15-20 contacts in the future...


]CAIN:[  Please tell us something  about
{Addonic[!

{ARCHIE:[   Now...   You   should   know
something first.  I am not a member of
{Addonic[ any longer. After about a year
of  membership   in  { Addonic[,  I  was
³persuaded (?) to join {LSD[. So everyone
I am now ]ARCHIE[ of {LSD[!!! Let's  shout
together  now:  "]ARCHIIIIE  IS  NOW  A
MEMBER OF LLLLLSD![". uh? Well... Kremt
I've  recently   joined    the   group
therefore  I don't know much about {LSD[
the only thing I know is that it  is a
worldwide   hyperactive   cool  group!
Anyway, I'm sure I can  tell something
about {Addonic[:  They are not dead!  In
fact, they are working their arses off
to  finish   the  brand  new  fabulous
"]Addonic Charts[". I've seen a  preview
of this magnificent chart,  and I  can
tell  you   that   it'll  replace  the
missing eurochart. It  might  even  be
better!   (Hello  to  all  {Addonicians
worldwide![)   ED: Yet another chart!!

]CAIN:[  Have you been in  other  groups
before?

³{ARCHIE:[  Yes...  I've been a member of
"{The Panthers[" and "{ICE[" once  upon  a
time. Don't start asking any questions
about these groups, please, Cain!!! Oh
I've actually been a member of a group
before  I  joined  "{The Panthers["  and
that  group   went   under   the  name
().


]CAIN:[  When  did  you  come  into  the
scene?

{ARCHIE:[  Hmmmm....  (Hard thinking  in
progress!)...  I  think I  entered the
mighty scene two years ago.  I was  in
"{The Panthers[" then. ]Alien[  (a  friend
of  mine)   and   I  coded  our  first
production; A music disk. We had  been
trying for  about half a year to learn
the machine language  and  we  finally
wanted to test our capabilities (erm?)
³Let me put  it  this  way;  You  don't
wanna see the result!  If you  see  it
you  might   suffer  from ] Alzheimer's
Aids[, ] A  Bubonic  Plague[, ]   Syphilis
Typhoid [ etc.  Your  outlook  will  be
dramastically     changed;      You'll
immidiately weigh 200 kilos  and  have
201 spots;  The girls  will  run  away
from  you... A 1000-dollar tip:  Don't
see it, ok? By the  way,  ]Alien[  (Hiay
Mate!) has also joined {LSD[ now!


]CAIN:[  What do  you  think  about  the
scene?

{ARCHIE:[  I think the  amiga  scene  is
cool.  There are a lot of funny  dudes
in it,  but then  again...  there  are
also sum boring	arrogant  maniacs  who
write "Thanx for stuff. Send back!" In
the letters. I hate  receiving letters
³like this! ]Friendship Rules![


]CAIN:[  Have  you   got  other  hobbies
except your computer?

{ARCHIE:[  Of Course! I  do  roleplaying
(not  on  the  computer,  smart  ass!)
Roleplaying rules!  It's cool  sitting
up long nights playing  together  with
friends  and eating $9e99  pizzas  and
drinking (well, limonade, that is!). I
also like listening and  watching  MTV
play   bowling,  volleyball,    tennis
badminton, girls and good grades!


]CAIN:[  How does  your  favourite  girl
look like?

}ARCHIE:[   She  looks   like  "]Kathrine
Knutsen["!
³]CAIN:[  Have  you  been  on  any  copy-
parties yet?

}ARCHIE:[  Nope,  I   have   never  ever
visited a copy-party. However,  I  was
at  the Demo-party in ]Porsgrunn/Norway[
(Amega) last summer. So watch out for 
]Mr.Cool[ at the party, folks! I'll 
probably be dragging with me a intro,
too!


]CAIN:[   What   "]real["   music  do  you
listen to?

{ARCHIE:[  I  listen  to everything that
]MTV[  plays,  but  I  change channel if
they  just  accidentally  should  play
techno.  I really  don't like  techno.
Ttechno music  contains  no  texts  but
donk-donk!  Hope   you   techno-freaks
³won't fry me for this  statement,  but
one has different tastes in life! hehe
vocalists/groups I  really  like  are:
{Bryan Adams[, ]Nirvana[, {Genesis[, ]KLF[ and
{The  Hooters[   (old   songs,  but  new
for me!)...


{CAIN:[	Has your groups any boards?

{ARCHIE:[ Yeah Sure... {LSD[ has got a lot
of boards. I wish  I  could  give  you
some numbers, but as said; I am new in
this group. I haven't  got the numbers
yet. buhu...


]CAIN:[   What   do   you   think  about
friendship?

³{ARCHIE:[  The  best  thing  that   ever
happened to the amiga since the	 mouse
(not  that  one,   pervert!).  I  love
friendship and  friendship  loves  me!
"Yeah, definitely, but  of  course  on
fridays we have  peanut  butter.  Yeah
definitely on sunday!" Who? Going nuts
Bah... Hmmmm...  I am hungry;  wait  a
minute smash! (tick, tack, tick, tack)
Ghello Bschmasch.. Gromb, Gombl...  Oh
I just had sum food in my  mouth!  And
guess what? Right! I am back...


]CAIN:[	Please tell us your favourite:
	a) {Group[
	b) {Demo[
	c) {Coder[
	d) {Musician[
	e) {Gfx-artist[
	f) {Disk-mag[
	g) {Demo-group[
³	h) {Game[

{ARCHIE:[  a)  My   favourite  group  is
{Phenomena[ or {Alcatraz.[ I can't make up
my mind. Hey! I know that there  is  a
{Alcatraz[-member in  the  same  city  I
live in,  but  I  don't  know  his/her
address... (HELP!!!)
b)  I  think  (not surprisingly)  that
*]Odyssey[* by {Alcatraz[ is the best demo
ever. A time ago, I thought that hard-
wired was *it*, but then  I changed my
mind.
c)  The   best  coder  is  ]Azatoth[  of
{Phenomena[. Without Doubt!
d) ]Mantronix [and] Tip[/{Phenomena[ are the
best when it comes to  computer  music
I love ]Crystal symphonies I[ +] II[.
e) There can only be ]Uno[ (not {Quartex[)
Yep, ]Uno[/{Scoopex[ is nuttin'  than  the
very best graphican!
f) ]R.A.W.[ Is the best reading material
³one  can get to this  machine   (Sorry
"]Nordic Report[" hehe).
g) {Alcaaaaaatraaaaz !!!![
h) I think  that  "]Another  World["  or
"]Alien Breed[" was awesome.


]CAIN:[  How do you like disk-mags?

{ARCHIE:[ They are cool, but not as cool
as  conventional  mags  (the  ones  on
paper).   Anyway,   they   give    you
important info about what's  going  on
in the scene today and  contain  funny
jokes!!! in short: Worth having!


]CAIN:[	Thanx   for   this  interview.
any last words or greets?

{ARCHIE:[ Yeah! To all  of you who write
³to me asking if I want  to  swap  with
you: don't! Just don't! I  have  enuff
contacts  already (too much!).  Greets
to all of my friends!!! 

]ED: { This interview was done  by  mail
the  questions  were  send  to  ]Archie{
when he was a member  of  [Addonic{.  So
it could happen, that one  or  two  of
the questions are not apposite.
