Bob Guiney Is Adorable!

Posted by taylor blue on June 8, 2009 | No Comments

Bob Guiney has always been a favorite of mine. I have liked him since he was in the Bachelor. But now he’s really made a name for himself in The Band From TV with Greg Grunberg and Adrian Pasdar. And the combination of the three of them guys make me swoon.

My good friend, Accidental Sexiness, got to interview Bob the other day. I must admit I’m a bit jealous because I know I would love to interview him too. Accidental did an amazing job and it made Bob sound even more adorable if that’s even possible.

One of my favorite parts of the interview was when he was asked if he likes TV or being live performing in front of an audience singing…

Not to cop out, but I love doing both! I grew up performing musically, so I guess that’s always been my comfort zone. But they tend to lead into one another a little! The TV stuff just started happening (after the Bachelorette & Bachelor). And I honestly love doing both quite a bit!

I loved it all really. So you have to go read it over there. READ THE REST OF THE INTERVIEW HERE>>>

Damij & I: The Interview

Posted by WillowRaine on May 9, 2009 | No Comments

Damij:It is somewhat difficult, being in such a small town. fortunately,I’ve been weird my entire conscious life so I’ve grown somewhat accustomed to all that it entails. I do have to admit, there are very few people in this town which seem to admire this kind of music but i can say with a smile that I have contributed in at least some small way to opening a few minds.

Willow:I have to ask, where did you come up with your stage name?

Damij:Basically I just took the word “Damage” and changed the spelling. *lol* I wanted a name that i felt comfortable with and that I thought sounded kinda cool.

Willow:I’ve been listening to your music for quite some time now, and I have to admit, I find myself dancing, probably poorly, to it. It just courses through me, but I am very intrigued about what brought you to this form of music. What prompted you to choose this genre?

Damij:Well I love many, many varied styles of music. I enjoy everything from blues to funk and disco, to all the classical and modern variations of rock/metal and dance music. There are good songs in ALL genres. Growing up, I listened to everything I could get my hands on and I think it helped to shape some of what I create. I began playing guitar when i was younger and as I grew, I began to be drawn more and more to synthesized sounds. It appeals to me in that I can be the entire band, as it were. I get to hone my skills on all parts of the song instead of just a single part. My love for sound encourages me to absorb as much about the art of production as possible.

Willow:I know that musicians/artists of the mainstream variety cite broken hearts, relationships in general, birth, and death among some of the things that cause them to write and/or compose some of their best work. What is your muse?

Damij:I guess I could say the same thing. I create what I feel. Sometimes I go for quite a while without any kind of “inspiration” or whatever you want to call it and that’s when I just let the music flow around inside my head. I’ll build an entire track in my mind and then do my best to translate that into music.

Willow:Something that some people that don’t listen to this type of music aren’t aware of, is that there are in fact lyrics, whether placed in the song, or just kept privately by the artist because of the meaning behind the creation. Does every piece you compose actually have lyrics, that will be released with the songs?

Damij:Not every song that I make has lyrics to them, though I do tend to write them for many. In fact, I’m slowly working on a project that’s almost entirely vocal. Of course I only have one completed song from that project but there will be more to come eventually.

Ultimately, I feel that some songs shouldn’t have lyrics and those will never have any vocal track added but one day I would very much enjoy having the freedom and the proper resources to truly bring all my creations to life. Say, for example, I wrote a track and the lyrics called for a female singer or something that i’m physically unable to do solo, I’d love to have the ability to bring in what the situation called for to complete my vision.

Willow:Would you say, that music in general is your passion, or is it the creation of YOUR music that ignites the fire inside of you?

Damij:It’s a little bit of both, really. There are many songs that I’ve heard over the years that really touch me. Have you ever heard a song that brought back some distant memory and the feeling you had at that particular moment in time? That’s what I try to accomplish with my music. I dream of the day that I can create something truly touching that can bring those strong emotions forward in others.

Willow:Breaking onto the music scene can’t be easy, I know you’re still struggling your way up the ladder (no worries, you’ll be famous before you know it), but are there any life lessons you have learned since you chose to embrace this art?

Damij:NO! I HAVE LEARNED NOTHING! *lol* just kidding.

Honestly, I have learned that it requires a lot of time and a LOT of dedication. At the moment, I’m still one of the little guys so I have the old 9 to 5′er and I have to balance work with my girlfriend and my music. She’ll probably never read this so I think it’s pretty safe to admit that sometimes I wish i could lock myself away in complete solitude and just make music. I think that would really help the creativity flow. Like maybe have a slot in a large, heavy door and from time to time, a CD would drop out of the slot and everyone would know that I was alive. *LOL*

Willow:I won’t keep you much longer, you’ve been such a pleasure to interview. I’ll just ask you one final question in closing.
If someone came to you for advice, asking you, as hard as the struggle seems, is it worth it at the end of the day, what would you say?

Damij:If you truly love what you’re doing then it doesn’t seem like a struggle. I will make music my entire life, that’s how I was made and I am very thankful for that.

Willow:Thank you so much, again, for your time.

Damij:Thank you for this opportunity, Willow.

So you see, Damij really is humble, down to Earth and amazing. If you have a myspace page, you should add him, if you don’t you should at least check out his music. DAMIJ It’ll have you bouncing, and moving as the music flows through your body.

Kristen Stewart Talks About New Moon

Posted by taylor blue on April 4, 2009 | 6 Comments

There is alot of things I’m looking forward to seeing in New Moon. I want to see how they handle the whole depressing part of Edward not being around. With  that being said Kristen Stewart did an interview a couple of days before starting to shoot the movie. I thought what she had to has was actually encouraging.

“There’s actually a lot more to work with. The second movie is much more quaint. The first one was about ultimate love and abandon, and that was good, but it’s kind of one-note. This one’s a different story. A lot more is introduced. The whole world of the werewolves is coming alive. Edward leaves her, which is interesting since the whole first movie is based on their devotion to each other. So to see them cope without each other and to see this character, Jacob, who is supposed to represent light and warmth, pull her out of a rut … it’s really tragic. I can’t wait to see Taylor [Lautner]’s face when I tell him, ‘It’s him, it’s always been him.’ “

That actually gives me the shivers to think how powerful that will be.

In other news, I watched an interview with Kellan Lutz today. It was live and besides the screaming of all the girls I got to know Kellan in a whole different light. He is charming! And wow he never stopped talking. I have to tell you he charmed me into a puddle on the floor.

Kristen Stewart Covers Nylon

Posted by taylor blue on February 26, 2009 | 1 Comment

Kristen Stewart makes me jealous sometimes. Yes, she gets to work with one of the cutest guys ever, Robert Pattinson, and I am woman enough to admit that. She is the cover girl for the March 2009 issue of Nylon…and I’m still a bit confused about the interview. Here are the highlights:

On the Twilight madness: “Anywhere we’d go for Twilight was a psychotic situation. The sound was deafening, and it’s thoughtless, as well… You get a slew of all these bulls*** questions like, ‘What’s it like to kiss a vampire?’ and ‘How much do you love Robert?’ Then you’ll get one that’s actually real, but you’re like, ‘No, I can’t right now, I can’t even consider [it].”

On the memorable David Letterman appearance: “I feel like I have nothing to say on those shows… I’m not good at the funny thing—most people are really great on those shows. I don’t have a contrived personality that [I can] just pump out [for] a five-minute segment, so I end up sitting there and looking kind of baffled. Embarrassing.”

On the rumors of her and Robert Pattinson together: “It’s just totally false… Rob and I are good friends. We went through a lot together, so we feel very close. But if we go out in public, every little detail is scrutinized, like the way I stand next to him. And it’s like, I know this guy really well [laughs]. It’s only natural that we’re sort of leaning on each other, because we’re put in the most psychotic situations.”

On her actual boyfriend: “He’s older than me—he’s 20 now—but when you’re 13 and he’s turning 16, it was always sort of an out-of-reach thing. Then you get a little older, and you realize, ‘Oh, What am I thinking? I can have you, like, lickity…He’s awesome.”

Again, I’m lost…”lickity”????

Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart Cover Girlfriend Magazine

Posted by taylor blue on February 2, 2009 | 13 Comments

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are covering the March 2009 cover of the Australian magazine, Girlfriend. I’m not digging this cover when it’s super obvious they are both photoshopped. They like totally just took it to Kristen’s face and you can’t even recognize her.

The interview is pretty interesting…here is what Robert said about being in Twilight with Kristen…

I wanted to do the movie because of her. It was like the first job I wanted to do in ages. Having Kristen there, I thought it could be something more that just another film, because of the way she was in the audition and because of her track record of having made really good film choices.

Translation: I love Kristen…always have…always will.

Someday the two of them will get together already.
