David Vincent Interview

I interviewed Morbid Angel’s David Vincent about the new album, ‘Illud Divinum Insanus.’ Said Vincent,

“I just want the damn thing out, but it’s hurry up and wait. That’s the story of the business. I wish it was out immediately. We are doing special packaging for it, and that doesn’t help my anxiety of wanting to get it out.”

“We were like, ‘We gotta get to Dingbatz.’ We didn’t want to miss Wednesday 13. We knew he went on at 11. It was like, ‘F— the Emmys!’ We didn’t even pick them up. We just said, ‘Mail ’em to us!'”

Sonia KashukRead my latest interview with Sonia Kashuk.

BN: One piece of advice you would like to give all our readers regarding makeup application or trends?
SK: Don’t judge a book by its cover. Color applies differently then it may look in packaging and 9 times out of 10 bright, vibrant shades will deliver a sheer, wearable application. This is especially relevant for my collection sold at Target since you can’t try on the shades.

Anthony Raneri Interview

I interviewed Anthony Raneri of Bayside and, of course, we got talking about his favorite NYC borough. Said Raneri,

“What I love about Queens is that it’s the mix of the suburbs and the city. That’s what people who live in Queens love about Queens: great parks, places to hang. It’s like a suburb, and I had a very tight-knit situation. But at the same time, there was a music scene, and there were clubs in Bayside for punk and hardcore bands. [Manhattan] was just a 20-minute train ride away and we had that, coupled with the wholesomeness of the suburbs.”
