WHAT IS THE MOST EMBARRASSING THING YOU'VE EVER DONE IN A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT?

Cinder Block: My nephew projectile vomited on me at a Carl's Jr.
Jeffery Bischoff: Go to dinner with Chuck from Good Riddance!

IF YOU COULD ELECT A MUSICIAN AS PRESIDENT OF THE U.S. (OR LEADER OF YOUR HOME COUNTRY), WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE?

CB: Dead or alive? If dead is OK I'd choose Wendy O Williams.
JB: It would have to Cinder Block -- then change the name to TILTVANIA.

HAVE YOU EVER SHOPLIFTED? WHAT DID YOU TAKE AND WHY?

JB: Yes. Lots of Records like Elton John, Kiss, The Who, because I was stupid, poor and thought it was cool.

NAME A BOOK THAT MADE YOU CRY, AND TELL US WHY.

CB: The Painted Bird by Jerzy N. Kosinski, because it details the cruelest side of human nature.
JB: The Man Who Fell to Earth, because it was about my Father and I still have issues.

WHICH IS MORE EXCITING WITH A MEMBER OF WHICHEVER SEX YOU "GO FOR": A CLOSE GAME OF TWISTER OR AN INTENSE GAME OF SCRABBLE?

CB: Scrabble, then maybe Twister afterward.
JB: Scrabble because I always get my ass kicked.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE FORM OF EXERCISE?

CB: Yoga.
JB: Scrabble.

WHAT DID YOU DO FOR THE MILLENNIUM?

CB: Went to a wacky friend's house and watched Heather from the Teen Idols dance like an indian on the warpath barefoot around the neighbor's fireworks display. She's the best!
JB: Watched people get drunk and fight each other, then kissed and hugged my friends.

NAME THREE SITUATIONS THAT WOULD BE MUCH FUNNIER WITH THE ADDITION OF MONKEYS.

JB: Eating Fast Food With Chuck, Playing Scrabble, Shoplifting.

IF YOU COULD ISSUE ONE ALBUM OR ONE BOOK TO EVERYONE IN THE WORLD ON THEIR THIRTEENTH BIRTHDAY, WHAT WOULD THE ALBUM/BOOK BE?

JB: Crass' Penis Envy.

WHERE WOULD YOU RATHER PLAY: A CLUB THAT GIVES YOU LOTS OF GREAT FREE FOOD BUT HAS HORRIBLE BATHROOMS, OR A CLUB THAT DOESN'T FEED YOU BUT HAS HOT SHOWERS AND BIG FLUFFY TOWELS?

CB: Showers and big fluffy towels, to hell with food.
JB: I would take the food as long as it wasn't pizza or spaghetti and was served after the show. The hotels have big fluffy towels and hot showers.

ARE YOU COMFORTABLE SHOPPING ONLINE? IF SO, WHAT DO YOU BUY?

JB: Sure why not? Mostly toys and computer stuff.

WHAT WAS THE WORST INVENTION OF THE 20TH CENTURY?

CB: The television.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH KIDS TODAY ANYWAY?

CB: Youth is wasted on the young.
JB: Are people still asking that question? Get over yourself, kids are kids. Let them make their own mistakes and they will either die from them or learn from them.

IS A FEMALE PRESIDENT THE ANSWER TO AMERICA'S PROBLEMS?

CB: Probably not, since the presidency doesn't have the power to fix everything even if it wanted to.
JB: Ask Vince -- he answers all the politcal questions for TILT.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT CELLULAR PHONES? LIKE THEM? HATE THEM? GRUDGINGLY APPRECIATE THEM? WHAT? WHAT, DAMMIT?!

CB: I only like them when I'm making long distance calls on my laywer's cell phone when he's out of the room adjusting his suspenders.
JB: Whats not to like? Except bad reception and cancer...

TELL US ABOUT YOUR PETS. IF YOU HAVE NO PETS, MAKE ONE UP.

CB: Boo Bear is a big black cat I've had for almost 16 years. He can open the refrigerator even at his advanced age.
JB: 16 year old big black kitty cat named Boo Bear. He rules over "all that is alive or dead."

WHAT'S HARDER: PLAYING SOLO FOR AN AUDIENCE OF 1000 FOR AN HOUR, OR GIVING A 30-MINUTE SPEECH TO THE SAME AUDIENCE?

CB: Playing solo. I've given speeches before, no sweat.
JB: I think it dosnt really matter -- it's the same, really.

IF YOU HAD TO BE TRAPPED IN A TV SHOW FOR A MONTH, WHAT SHOW WOULD YOU CHOOSE? AND WHY?

CB: Northern Exposure, to hang around with Ed.

JB: Gilligan's Island. I could use a vacation.

WHAT IS THE FUNNIEST LOOKING ANIMAL?

CB: You.
JB: The Furby.

IF YOU COULD HAVE THE "ORIGINAL" OF ANYTHING, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

CB: The JFK death car.
JB: Anything from Nightmare Before Christmas or Batman's Outfit (from the TV Show).

NAME A COMMERCIAL JINGLE THAT, FOR YOU, WAS CATCHIER THAN MOST POP SONGS.

CB: I am stuck on Band-aids 'cause Band-aid's stuck on me!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DAY OF THE YEAR?

CB: Halloween.
JB: Every day is a gift.

WHAT IS THE MOST FASCINATING SMELL?

CB: Jeffery's farts.
JB: The air in the Midwest just before a thunderstorm.

IF YOU KNEW THAT BY NEVER LISTENING TO LOUD MUSIC AGAIN YOU'D ADD TEN YEARS TO YOUR LIFE, WOULD YOU DO IT?

JB: Whatever? Rock and Roll Forever Baby.

WHAT KIND OF PERSON WEARS THONG UNDERWEAR?

CB: Someone who knows how to make a lot of money from the Pavlovian response of weak minded men.
JB: To each their own.

From FatWreck.com (we're feeling lazy): "Tilt came out of the East Bay Punk/Gilman scene in 1992. They have 3 FAT full lengths which followed a debut album on Lookout! The urgent yet melodic power of their songs are accentuated by lyrics filled with social commentary and dark humor, and the blazing vocals of Cinder Block prove you don't have to be a guy to be hardcore."

-- George Zahora
