in Brown Brogues what would you be?
Mark: Failing at
acting
Ben: Mid level managment in a job I hate
Who would you
most like to be sat next to on a long train journey?

train journey? Probably nobody because they would get annoying after a while or
someone really anti-social and wouldnt wanna talk.

guilty pleasure song?
Mark: Dancing in
the dark by Bruce Springsteen for alot of people the Boss isnt a guilty
pleasure but I cant stand anything else he's done

What’s the
worst/best song you’ve played in a dj set?
Mark:
Gotta be Yellow
Submarine dropped it mid set by accident once but then put it on again later on
purpose
Ben: I like droppin stuff off john carpenter soundtracks,
assault on precinct 13 is a club banger waiting to happen
Best thing
either of you have dressed up as?
Mark: I once
dressed up as an elephant
Ben: My mum ran out of fancy dress ideas so I had to go
as "holiday 98" it was very high concept/shit

midsommer or sxsw...the first time.
