Interview with Linke (by me)
2010-06-19 @ 23:19:49I was lucky enough to get the chance to make a little "interview" with Linke.
I asked you to write some questions, and I got a lot of them. Thank you!
But since it was so many, I couldn't take all of them, but they're all saved in a document on my computer, so if I ever get this opportunity again, I'll look at them! ;)
So now, if you want to put this interview on your own page or so, fine, but damn you if you don't source me! I'll hunt you with my precious spoon and curse you! -.-'' the same with translations. It's my interview :)
ENJOY :D
1. How's life in L.A? And what do you think about the climate?
- The climate is awesome, always great weather, and great musicians... I love it. :)
2. What's the worst/best with L.A/the U.S? And what makes it so different from Germany?
-Jess/Vewqa/Rania
- The traffic is HORRIBLE. There is no public transport opportunities, and LA is just HUGE with very long distances... So basically, without a car, you are fucked. big time. And the food here is not really good, its like... European food, but always a really sweetened, unhealthy version of it. :)
3. Are you living on your own, or do you have a roomie?
- I'm living together with a cool guy called Steven right now.
4. Is there anything you miss with Germany/Europe? Will you ever come back?
-Jess/Rania
- Yeah I miss Germany. Hopefully I will come back some times.
5. When did you decide to move to the U.S? Is it an old "childhood" dream, or just something you suddenly, decided to do?
-Vewqa
- Hmm, it has always been a childhood dream, but I never really took or planned to take the step. Eventually when we decided to break up as a band, I started to take it seriously and got my green card.
6. How did you get your "green card"? And did you have to do something special to get it?
- Yeah, alot of tests and certifications, took quite some time. Hm not too special stuff, just being educated, having enough money... yeah. And being healthy. :)
7. I think (and have noticed on your facebook comments) that you have a lot of European fans left. Would you like to come back to Europe after releasing your album, for some concerts?
- Yes, hopefully I will find a great label to start off in Europe aswell.
When can we buy your songs "Goodbye" and "No Tomorrow" (new version) on iTunes?
-Trine
Hmm,, I could arrange that actually. Would people actually want that? :)
8. Would you like to make a duet? If yes, with whom would it be?
-Ingrida
Dunno, probably with Trent Reznor.
9. Where do you find your inspiration? And how do you translate your thoughts into words/notes?
-Jess/Mary
All kinds of things.. daily things, thoughts... just write everything down. :)
11. Which languages are you able to speak?
German, English. And a tiny little bit of a few others.
12. How was it to grow up with a photographer? Was it a camera following you around all days or was it just like "normal"?
Normal. I barely saw a camera since my mother usually takes photos of animals.
13. Do you like poetry? If yes, who's your favorite poet?
-Ingrida
Yeah, I do, tho I don't read much poetry. Edgar Allan Poe is great.
14. What kind of stories are you writing at the moment? (the ones you told the French Forum about? ;)
-Ingrida
Yes. :)
15. Which of your songs, are your favorite? And have you thought of making a video for any song? If yes, which?
-Ingrida
Hmm, that varies alot, tho Sail Away might be my favorite right now. I wanna record some live acoustic videos, but thats about it so far, haven't thought about having proper music videos.
16. If there was one moment and place in the world you would like to visit, where and when to would you go?
-Monika
Hm, nice question. I guess it would either be sometime in France in the 17th century, or roundabout 2000 years ago in egypt. Would be really interesting and fascinating

-Silje
Would be awesome to go to scandinavia at some point.
