Mistress Fetisha Zim Zum interivew:
This interview belongs to mistress fetisha.
And I was given permission to post it up here.

1. Have you ever had an instant karma experience?? Explain!
ZZ: I would have to say no. Instant karma is something that you would really have to be conscious of and looking for, paying attention to your actions and always expecting a reaction, which in alot of ways happens all the time, but it's not necessarily karma it's based more on numbers and equations. I am a firm believer in karma and i've seen and been involved in it's affects, but lately i've been able to explain everything through numbers.

2. Have you ever had a dream about purple sheets dancing in your living room? If not, what is the most unusual dream you can recall?
ZZ: It's funny (to me) how the "2nd" question you asked happens to be the 1 related to my death. But no, I haven't had any dancing sheet dreams. I have had a reoccurring dream for almost 9 years now. I'm driving (sometimes just in a car, but not driving) a 4 door (suicide doors) Lincoln continental >(my favorite car) and it's always at a very specific place, the S curve on Chicago's Lake Shore Drive. The car takes the S turn but doesn't make it and plunges into the water, it's cold, dark and dirty with some light coming through the windows from the top of the water. The car drops through the water and I cant get out even though there are 4 doors, I'm not sure at this point if I even try, after having the dream so many times. At the point where I'm assuming death happens, I wake up.

3. Have you ever owned a Care Bear or a My Little Pony?
ZZ: No.

4.How do you rate children's entertainment of today to that of ten - fifteen years ago?
ZZ: Childrens entertainment (as well as alot of general entertainment) today is for the most part mindless and solely based around marketing a product. But, there are some shows today (like south park) that suggest drug use, cults, political satire, social commentary, anarchy and blatant sexuality and are all things that I like slipped into "children's" entertainment. Fifteen years ago it was extremely wholesome and not at all related to reality, it was more about escapism. There's really nowhere to "escape" these days, especially not in television.

5. What do you think is the best music clip you've ever seen? The worst? Who would you consider having work on the first Pleistocene clip?
ZZ: I don't have an opinion on music "videos". I always see things in a larger picture (a music "movie" as opposed to a music "video"). If the video conveys what the emotion or mood of the song is then I would say it's a good video. But I don't think I've ever seen a music video that moves me or stirs some kind of emotional or mental response. I would like to work with someone that really doesn't "do" music videos, but approaches everything as if it was possible to morph it into a visual interpretation of a mood.

6. What do you think is the worst decision made in the music industry?
ZZ:Bad decisions are a part of everyone's lives, the music industry is just a microcosm of a larger problem. I personally don't accept the reality that the current state of music offers me.

6. If a very loyal devoted fan needed an organ, would you consider donating?
ZZ: My body is only sacrificed to those that I truly love, so it would depend on their need and my feelings towards the void they need filled physically (and mentally). Will a body part ever make someone whole?

7. Would you ever let a fan contribute that much to you?
ZZ: No (please don't send body parts to the mailing address)

8. Is there a criteria for Pleistocene band members that states they need to have dreadlocks and have their septum pierced?
ZZ: No, but there is one that says they must be dedicated beyond what most people consider "sane" but I expect them to be able to function and perform above the norm consistently because anything less than that will effect the band as a whole and that is unacceptable at this level. I personally have no opinion on how someone chooses to mutilate themselves, but nothing is conscious beyond the point that basically they are going to sacrifice what they knew as their life for what is about to be their life.

9. What is the craziest thing you've ever done whilst drunk or hungover?
ZZ: I cant remember, because I was drunk.

10. What is your all time pet hate? What other little things piss you off on a regular basis?
ZZ: I have alot of "pet" hates, but I don't hate anyone. There are alot of things about this world and the next that I don't like. But instead of complaining, I change them, or change my reality to better suit what it is I need life to be. I'm no more psychotic than the average person, well maybe, but what separates me from "them" is that I'm not afraid to admit it and in turn confront the issue. I have nothing but a shotgun for a tongue for those people who use the lifestyle this world has given them to hide from the real issues. Sooner or later the truth comes out.

11. If you could write yourself into a cartoon which would it be?
ZZ: My life is already too similar to a cartoon experience.

12. What was your favorite past time as a child?
ZZ: Going insane, UN-medicated and destroying everything around me.

13. Do you still enjoy it now?
ZZ: Yes, very much so.

14. If you could be reincarnated as an animal what animal would it be and why?
ZZ: If I could be reincarnated, it wouldn't be as an animal, why make the same mistake twice?

15. If someone wrote the story of your life what would it be called?
ZZ: The second "1".

16. What is the craziest thing a fan has ever done to get your attention?
ZZ: That is yet to be determined. Although I'm always paying attention.

17. What is the most unusual gift you've received from a fan?
ZZ: Love and hate, any emotion directed towards me is an unusual gift.

18. Is Pleistocene going to be the biggest thing since sliced bread?
ZZ: No, Pleistocene is much bigger and has more potential. Sliced bread really isn't that big of a deal and hasn't changed since it's inception.
