Pop Levi
Top Ten Albums of 2006
I haven’t listened to any albums released in 2006.
What was the highlight of 2006 for either you personally or for the band?
Personally, went to see Smokey Robinson, blew my mind. For the band, moving to Los Angeles.
What was the low point of 2006 for you?
There has only been high and higher points so far.
What are your hopes and plans for 2007?
To play crucial astral pop music to kids all over the world and make my second record.
What was the best album released in 2006 that few people heard?
Don’t know. Is it possible to guess?
What do you hope to hear more of in 2007? Less of?
More super-hot and bumping R&B pop classics for the future. Less crud.
What album or song do you feel best defines this generation?
The Return to Form Black Magick Party by Pop Levi.
What’s the biggest goal for your life that you have yet to achieve?
Number one album.
With the rise of MySpace and the ever-increasing presence of bloggers, what is your feeling about using the Internet as a promotional tool? Will MySpace last and are you actively involved in your band’s MySpace page? With the music blogs seen as an increasingly influential source for breaking new artists, do you read them and are they a positive influence that bypasses the industry machinery or just empty hype?
All’s fair in love, war and promotion. I take care of my MySpace page because I like to keep that personal touch and I stay in contact with my friends through it, but I don’t read blogs and stuff like that. I’m into the woods or painting my guitars or eating sushi. There’s loads to do out there in the real world, you know (semi-joke).
If the world were ending in 24 hours, what would you do in those 24 hours?
Run, Wash, Dance, Sushi, Fuck, Pray, Blow Head Off. And in that order.
If you could have any superpower, what power would you want to have and why?
Immortality, maybe one day I’d get a real hold on it all.
If you could be one fictional character, who would you be and why?
Alex DeLarge because he was cured alright.
