kp: How much ass do you kick at Scrabble?

kp: What is the first album you ever bought?
mib: The first album I remember specifically buying was Wham's "Make It Big." I didn't have much money and so I had very strict criteria for deciding which album to buy: it had to have four or more top ten songs on it. I already had "Thriller," so Wham was pretty much the only album out at that time that fit the criteria. Don't get me wrong - I loved Wham.

kp: What is the first concert you ever attended?
mib: Three Dog Night at the Garden State Arts Center when I was about six or seven. My lesbian mom took me. The first concert that I went to sans parent was Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden. The first actual cool concert I went to was the Psychedelic Furs. I went with my girlfriend and this guy Craig who had a crush on my girlfriend. Fuck him.

The Thompson Twins just because they're awesome 4. Radiohead's "OK Computer" 5. N.W.A. because they taught me how to fuck shit up.
