A group distraction, presented by nige.
----------
The first instalment of Interview52 is now complete! It started on Friday 18th July 2008 and finished on 13th September 2009. A little later than expected, but we got there.
----------
52 mobloggers from around the world...
Some familiar, some not...
Each will publish a unique self-portrait, accompanied by a short interview.
Candid portrait meets candid interview.
The Rules
Every Friday the next interviewee in line will publish a new portrait and interview, consisting of their answers to the ten questions they have been given.
After they have published, the interviewee will then become the interviewer. They will be responsible for finding the next participant, as well as compiling the questions that this next person in line will answer. Interviewers can change as many or as few questions as they like, but they should change at least one before passing them on to the next lucky punter.
Thats it! Simple. More detailed instructions will be given to each interviewee as and when they are approached, so fear not.

I found this a very interesting read indeed. I particularly like your superhero power of divine perspective, Also liked your explanation of your username, very interesting
Really enjoyable read.
If you also write lyrics for the band after reading this I would love to see them !
Really interesting. You'll have to fulfill your wish of converting to buddhism before you can answer Q10. hehe.
Feel like I know 'billion' a little better now. Thank you. :)
Billion - Wonderful. An interview that makes me want to know more. The wonderful thing about interview52 is that I discover connections. Nice to meet another tinnitus sufferer. It's a drag.
Your dreams about flying resonated with me. About 15 years ago, I became fascinated by lucid dreaming. I was going to write a book about it. When people finally learnt to lucid dream, a large number of them wanted to have waking dreams about flying. The desire to fly seems to be something really primal within us.
izzylou - thank you. I'm thinking now that divine perspective sounds a bit strong and, well, religious. but you get the idea.
keithd - thanks. yeah I write lyrics, the title is a line from a song I wrote.
pj - hehe. well spotted. thanks for picking me to be interviewed!
taniwha - I'm amazed at how many people have tinnitus. you adjust to it after a while, but it's best not to get it in the first place.
nige - thanks for starting the group man!
Hey, you're welcome. You're the nineteenth interviewee so far - I can't believe it's almost been six months! I look forward to this every single week. I really like not knowing who's going to be next. It's great.
Very interesting reading.
Thank you billion.
The lucid flying thing rings a bell, great fun when that happens, haven't quite managed to master conscious recall of that situation but I'm working on it.
:-)
this is great reading and I love the expressiveness of the photo.
Agree completely with taniwha and have so many more questions to ask after reading this. You're not the first musician with tinnitis I've met on this blog - life can be so symmetrical at times..
I know I'm quite sporadic on moblog these days but I always enjoy popping over to your blog. It'd be great to one day meet you IRL too
Agree with Viv about following the links :)
and yes, a very interesting interview that leaves me thinking that I know billion a bit better, but would love to meet you and have a chat and know a little more :)
Oh yes, and really like the photo, it becomes more relevant as the interview progresses ...

jxl, dhamaka, viv, maggied, shitake, factotum: thank you.
the picture, by the way, is my sister's work. unlike me she's actually studied photography and knows how to compose and light a shot properly.
Very nice site!
Hello! nice blog!
