not related to gential "humor", but
related to obscenities: thinking back
on the interviews I've done in the last
year or so, the majority of the *swearers* :)
have been British! but not all of them. i
notice this because, though I'll quote
*as is* for text features (that I'm writing
up for the site and mags), I have to edit
out any obscenities for the syndicated
show because some stations play it
early in the morning and at times when
obsceneties are even more unacceptable:
anyway i tend to notice who swears and
who swears the most in the interviews i
do cos i gotta edit more when an artist
swears more and the 5 below had me
doing plenty of edits!:
here are the swearers I've dealt with
from memory :)
tie:
#1 Carl Craig (plenty! with lots of passion
in it :)) the Detroit representative :)
#1 Jamie Lidell (passionate about his swearing,
too)
#3 Dave Clarke (plenty, but, where Lidell
and Craig use the swear words as emphatic
punctuation almost, Clarke reserves his
swearing to times when he's pissed off)
tie:
#4 Neil Landstrumm (a "shit" or "f*ck" here and there,
used when exasperated)
#5 Cristian Vogel (a "shit" here and there, most
notably when his landlord accidentally turned
off the power causing him to lose a being-worked-on
track that hadn't been saved, was relatively calm
about the situation considering)
