What is your least favorite article of clothing, and why?
D:Fuse: Shorts, because as a kid I got made fun of for having chicken legs. I guess
I'm still kind of self-conscious!
If you could remove 20cc's of fat from one part of your body and inject it
into another, where would the fat come from/go to?
D:Fuse: I would remove the fat around the middle and inject it into my micro-butt!
Can you guys help with this?
What three essential accessories would be in your dream tour van/vehicle?
D:Fuse: An absolutely kickin' sound system, complete with a pair of 1200s. A DVD
player. Lots of Red Bull and Clif bars. A keg of Samuel Adams. A pair of
running shoes and Jenny McCarthy.
Which is more frightening: a venue full of people who don't like your music,
or a room full of two-year-olds? Why?
D:Fuse: A room full of people who don't like my music. A room like that is something
that would very hard to turn around. Bad vibes from the crowd when you are
spinning is just depressing. A room of two year olds? No Problem. I'd just put
on a record and lead em' through the Hokey Pokey -- a classic that's still
fun.
Name three activities that would be more interesting/entertaining/enjoyable
with the addition of monkeys.
D:Fuse: Church, Funerals, Driver's License Renewal.
What are the best venue you've ever played? What's the worst? Why?
D:Fuse: Best: Buzz in DC, the crowd was absolutely in it to win it, amazing energy
from the floor and a 1st rate sound system. Worst: 4th Annuel Love A-Fair party in San Francisco. Lots of cracked-out kids laying around and a horrible sound system.
What was the last thing you watched on television? How did you like it?
D:Fuse: The movie Billy Elliot. Loved it, really creative movie with a big heart.
Describe your dream vacation.
D:Fuse: Me and my girl Jenni on a white sand beach sipping Jamaican rum at sunset
while Sadé plays live.
Who should be the leader of the free world?
D:Fuse: It should be Al Gore if only for his active stance on the environment and
global warming. Bush IS Satan, period.
You have an eight-hour trip to your next gig. You're not driving, and
you're not sleepy. You have the option of reading a book, listening to an
album, watching a movie or playing a video game. Which do you choose? And
what is the book/album/movie/game in question?
D:Fuse: It would have to be listening to an album, probably one of the Naked Records
compilations. I've really been digging West Coast house lately and Naked is
one of my favorite labels.
What was the best live rock show you ever saw?
D:Fuse: Neil Diamond -- I saw him four times as a kid. He was an amazing performer who
really felt the music and fed off the crowd.
You're in an elevator with Mariah Carey, Marilyn Manson and George W. Bush.
The elevator becomes trapped between floors. What happens next?
D:Fuse: Marilyn Manson pulls Mariah's hair. I strangle George.
What food item do you always eat, even though you shouldn't? And why
shouldn't you be
eating it?
D:Fuse: Hamburgers; red meat is not only bad for you but cattle production is bad
for the environment as well. I've cut down considerably, but sometimes just
can't help myself.
Your favorite broken-up band is going to reunite for one show only at the
venue of your choice (yes, we know this is implausible. Who cares?). Who's
the band, and what's the venue?
D:Fuse: The Chameleons UK, my absolute favorite. They perform at the Paramount
Theater in Austin. It's a beautiful opera house built in the 1800s and
recently restored. (Actually, aren't they about to release a new album? So perhaps this is possible. - Ed.)
Several US states have adopted "three strikes and you're out" laws, which
basically mean that after you're found guilty of three felonies, you're
imprisoned for life. How do you feel about that? Is it effective
lawmaking, or needlessly harsh?
D:Fuse: The entire "let's lock 'em away" system is a joke. People need to be
rehabilitated. More money needs to be pumped into education. The war on
drugs needs to shift its focus and lessen the penalties and focus more on
prevention and rehabilitation.

We'll quote Texas DJ D:Fuse's bio from the Moonshine Records site:
D:Fuse’s philosophy is simple, "Music has saved my life and all I want to do is to pass my musical message to the public." He goes on to say that "I’ve been handed some wonderful opportunities and experiences in my life through music, and I consider it a privilege to be able to give something back in return."
-- George Zahora
