thats me
<_sodium> thats me on the topic
<_sodium> wow
<dangermouse>
it is too!
<dangermouse> how the..
<dangermouse> ok
<dangermouse> lets start shall me
<_sodium>
uh
Dangermouse:
First question.. tell me a little about yerself, name, age,
sex, appearance, etc..
Sodium:
I'm oned, real name is chris. im 19, female, im short and
ugly looking. and i cant get guys
Dangermouse:
haha.. no no.. you, not oned.. :)
Sodium:
I'm sodium.. real name is andy.. 19, male, six foot..short
dark hair.. goatie.. i guess im attractive cause, well.
i get girls. or at least i use to. All the ones i hook up
with now end up banging navy submarine guys at the base
up the street..
Yeah..
ran into an old friend.. we starting hanging pretty soon
we were going out.. then i found out she was fucking my
friend who is stationed on the... well i cant say. its top
secret.
Dangermouse:
any other interests . ie. hobbies etc? ..outside of the
scene?
Sodium:
Yea. im a music major in school.. also forming an industrial
band with my bud, oned.. besides that i goto alot of hardcore
shows, hang with the opposite sex, organize smoke-a-thon's
on the great american smoke-out.. things like that..
Dangermouse:
How did you first get involved within the scene? and what
would say the atmosphere of the scene was at this time too?
Sodium:
Well. I was big on warez.. this was like 1991/1992. and
well, warez and art were like one big scene so the transition
was easy... attitude back then was.. "if your under 15 you
suck", and if you can draw ansi good then your k-rad
I was
under 15 when i started, and i sucked, so the rule did apply..
Dangermouse:
What memories do you have of your first groups? and .. what
groups have you been in since?
Sodium:
My brand of choice is GPC, so bite me. i dont care how nice
your cigrattes taste and how you spent 3 bucks on a pack
of dunhill's.. gpc is like 1.50 usually and im saving money
so fuck off.
Sorry..
My first group was this shithole called chaos/2, formed
in san diego, and ive been in a zillion local shits.. then
joined shiver, vapor, fire, saga, blade, bleach, odium,
765, acid, cryolite.. co-founded that crazy tracking group
7YNIVf.
I think
im still in acid, radman doesn't have the balls to throw
me out <g>
Dangermouse:
Yeah, they don't seem to kick idle members..
Sodium:
It's a social club really..
Dangermouse:
Oh yeah, that'd be it
Sodium:
Btw, you newschool guys.. dont get me wrong.. acid used
to own.. sigh.
Dangermouse:
Tell me a little about acrylic weekly -- why did you first
start it -- the reason you thought at the time..
Sodium:
Well its like this, the tracking scene had traxweekly, warez
had week in warez, so i made a weekly mag for the art scene.
...actually i did to make me look good, and provide a weekly
mag.
But
i couldnt do it alone, there was always a helpful staff
that found many creative ways to to turn in their material
late to me every consecutive week <g>
Dangermouse:
What do you think were the best features acrylic showcased
over its 9/10 issue history?
Sodium:
We had alot of big stories, like acrylic announced obv/2's
end, had radman's interview which was big, and of course
the maytrickz thing was huge..
Dangermouse:
What about that maytrickz thing? what was the deal with
that?
Sodium:
Maytrickz and I hated each other for about 6 months.. and
well.. i caught him saying that if i ever printed this shit
about him i would be permabanned for life and i printed
it anyway and a bunch of people cried and said it was bad
journalism..
So
i told em to kiss my ass.. they got acrylic weekly for free..
they'll read what i want to print.
People
were also talking about how nice of a guy maytrickz was,
which was hardely the truth.
Dangermouse:
Back to acrylic -- why did you end it? lack of time?
Sodium:
Basically, and the fact that when i ended it, the staff
refused to let me and said if i ended it they would bring
it back so they did and it sucked so i killed it.. I was
burned out
Dangermouse:
Next question. Tell me a little about two days in the scene
-- what was the general jist of it?
Sodium:
It's a scene crime story, written in the style of pulp fiction.
I did it for fun, but it was an immediate hit. A lot of
people tell me how it would make an awesome movie ..maybe
with a few dozen re-writes..
Dangermouse:
Heh.. Travolta as sodium perhaps?
Sodium:
Haha.. That's who i based my character on
Dangermouse:
Haha , no shit?
Sodium:
Yup, same thing in sock6.txt, which should be out by the
time you people read this.
Dangermouse:
Ok.. lastly, you've just started a group with ironghost
called cryolite.. who's in the group, and what is its main
purpose?
Sodium:
Pack one was great, i dont know who is in the group now
cause after the rumor that i died sprang up, everyone quit
thinking cryolite was dead... so me and ironghost are trying
to piece the group back together
Its
purpose is to, well, release quality art.. thats why i do
big q.c.'s.. the quality really goes up.. the difference
between some artist's first submissions and the final product
is phenominal.
Dangermouse:
AND.. THE BIG QUESTION! What about your death? do you have
any idea who started it or why?
Sodium:
No and no.. but it sure fucked up my group. I would have
rathered had died like fighting an intruder or getting shot
in some covert op.. not falling out of my window like a
dumbass..
Dangermouse:
Whilst locking yer keys inside dont forget :)
* sodium
climbs up to his window, almost through the framework..
/act
pushes sodium out of the window.. woops!
[ed
note: hehe.. we just had to do it..]
Sodium:
Haha
Dangermouse:
Well, its been great talking to yer
Sodium:
thats the end? It's over already?
Dangermouse:
I'd say so..
Sodium:
Let's do it again.
Dangermouse:
Unless you've got some greetz to shout..
Sodium:
I guess i do.. Hi to anyone in acid who still remembers
me, cryolite "members", 619 people, and ONED GET YOUR ASS
DOWN TO SAN DIEGO RIGHT NOW. STOP READING THIS AND GET IN
THE CAR. hey c'mon i mean. stop reading. go, now!
Oh,
and to that loser, shrink. FUCK OFF. Little rat bastard
ran away with my money and shell accounts..
Yeah,

200 bucks in shit ive down and not gotten anything back
