Pacer's Jeremy Mathews and Kim Ware-Mathews fail to dodge the Pointless Questions
pacer
Pacer (Do any of them have big, bulbous rear windows? We'll never know.)


Feeling explorative? You could visit the Pacer website. Or you could stay right here and read Splendid's review of the space between us. And if you're feeling commercial, you can buy Pacer stuff at Insound.

YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN A CHANCE TO TRAVEL IN TIME TO THE YEAR 2025 TO SEE HOW THE WORLD WILL HAVE CHANGED. WHAT ARE YOU MOST CURIOUS ABOUT?

Jeremy: How music has evolved through the years.

IF A MOVIE WAS MADE ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WHERE WOULD IT BE SHELVED IN THE VIDEO STORE?

Kim: Comedy.

YOU'RE GUEST-HOSTING A NIGHT-TIME TALK SHOW FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY. WHO WOULD BE YOUR IDEAL GUESTS?

Jeremy: Johnny Carson, to see what he's been doing, and Velvet Underground would be the musical guest.

IF YOU JOINED THE CIRCUS, WHAT WOULD YOU DO THERE?

Jeremy: I would be the man shot from a cannon.

Kim: Run around with little poodles in silly outfits doing funny tricks.

WHAT PERSON -- FAMOUS OR NOT -- CAN YOU IMITATE BEST?

Kim: Mrs. Throop, my 11th grade English teacher.

IF YOU HAD TO EITHER WALK OR RUN TEN MILES EVERY DAY, WHERE WOULD YOU WANT TO DO IT?

Jeremy: On the beach.

Kim: Just a mile from my house, on the beach.

WHAT'S THE BEST SONG EVER WRITTEN?

Kim: While "best song ever written" might be a little too high a compliment, I'd say I don't think I've ever enjoyed a song more than Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes".

WHAT'S THE LONGEST YOU'VE EVER STOOD IN LINE? WHY'D YOU DO IT?

Kim: I've stood in a lot of lines, but the longest one of recent memory was 2 1/2 hours for a production of Cirque de Soleil's O, last year in Las Vegas.

IF YOU COULD HAVE 100 POUNDS OF ANYTHING (OTHER THAN MONEY), WHAT WOULD YOU WANT?

Jeremy: Chocolate.

Kim: Chocolate!

WHAT THOUGHT OR SENTIMENT WOULD YOU LIKE TO PUT INTO ONE MILLION FORTUNE COOKIES?

Jeremy: Live every day like it is your last.

MICROSOFT OFFERS YOU $5 MILLION (US) TO USE ONE OF YOUR SONGS IN ALL WINDOWS MILLENNIUM ADVERTISING. DO YOU TAKE THE MONEY? WHAT DO YOU DO WITH IT?

Kim: Yes. Put out some good records, pay off our debts, give a big chunk of it to my parents and put the rest in the bank.

WHAT ARTICLE OF CLOTHING SHOULD NEVER BE MADE OUT OF LEATHER, AND WHY?

Jeremy: Underwear. It would just be too hard to walk in leather undies.

IF YOU COULD DO ONLY ONE JOB, 8 HOURS A DAY, 5 DAYS A WEEK FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, WHAT WOULD YOU WANT THAT JOB TO BE?

Jeremy: Record producer.

Kim: Choosing only one is hard for me, because I like to do a lot of things... Ideally I'd like my job to have a lot of variety. So I would say it would be an (established) indie record label executive/graphic artist.

WHAT IS THE MOST THOUGHTFUL THING A VENUE HAS EVER DONE FOR YOU?

Jeremy: Given us a free meal.

Kim: Came up and paid us immediately after we finished playing, without us having to ask or wait around for it.

WHAT IS THE WORST WAY TO DIE?

Jeremy: Slowly.

Kim: slowly. I imagine drowning would suck too.

IF YOU COULD BE THE SPOKESPERSON FOR ANY PRODUCT ON THE MARKET, WHAT PRODUCT WOULD YOU CHOOSE TO REPRESENT?

Jeremy: guitar strings, so I could get them for free.

IF YOU HAD TO JOIN THE CAST OF ONE OF THE CURRENT CROP OF REALITY TV SHOWS, WHICH ONE WOULD YOU CHOOSE?

Jeremy: Survivor.

Kim: The Real World. Besides the fact that I'm addicted to it, it would be nice to live in that house for a few months, and they always get to take a really cool trip too.

When they're not busy playing in Pacer or running their label, Eskimo Kiss records, husband and wife team Jeremy Mathews and Kim Ware-Mathews seem to become involved in dog-related wars between their neighbors. Kim also runs a weblog that we enjoy.
