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.
