Get to know your blogger with Sysko and Cale Z :)

Interview over facebook this morning to kick off our new collaboration I thought I would ask some insightful and awesome questions so you can get to know my buddy Cale! ;) Good stuff in here! thanks buddy!! get this started!
9:26am
Sure dude let's do this
what is the first thing you think of in the morning?
Oh god what day is it?
Then I think about how I don't want to get out of bed but I do it anyways
Then my goal ultimately is to get coffee
lol!
what is the best show you have ever been to?
That's a hard one to answer. I've probably seen over 500 bands since the time I was 15 and started going to shows.
Brand New was one of the top shows for me last year this year was warped tour in Seattle seeing Amity Affliction
Every show has a different feeling so they all matter in the end
Warped tour is always rad!
this may be another hard question to answer bit who is your fave band local or otherwise?
There's been so many bands that have come and gone from my life my favorite local band of all time was the Nix Dicksons. They had everything. Good song writing energy they knew how to talk to crowds they really taught me a lot and they are all good friends of mine.
For big bands Foo fighters will always be the top for me. The way dave grohl puts music together just has always amazed me and inspired me. He is the master craftsmen of all instruments
love it! ..What song is stuck in your head right now?
The song that is stuck in my head always is my favorite song of all time. Its called Antique its by a band called Texas is the reason they where in the first wave of emo in the early 90s they where ahead of their time which sadly was also their downfall for commercial success
didnt see that one coming
what would you say to newcomers in the music industry today?
Do whatever the fuck you want don't focus yourself to one set genre just make music from what is inside of you. Dont be afraid to try something different. Write with emotion and do music because you love it. If you're in a band to try and make money get out now there's no room for you. If you are playing music to make money you're in it for the wrong reasons.
great answer!
do you have any tattoos?
Too many to count in various places on my body. I love getting new ink most times I don't have the cash to get new ones I look at tattoos as check points in life everyone I get is for a reason that's important to me. They've become more socially exceptible and I think its awesome. Your body is yours to decorate the way you want
I definitely agree !! all of mine have some serious meaning!
what are your views on social media and its effect on the music industry ?
Its good and bad. I mean it makes it easier to share your music with everyone rather than the days where people had to buy your album or hear you on the radio. Its also more personal because you get to interact with your fan base
The bad part about it is that everyone can be in a band and make songs and have 'fans' sometimes its just not good music
When you had to put everything you had into making an album on tape the quality was better it was either do or die now its all cut and paste
hold ing back my agreement comments this is your interview haha
how do you think the world will end?
I honestly think the planet will over turn us as a race. Its going to push us out of here just like it did with the dinosaurs and then the world will be vacant for 1000s of years and a new species will evolve and hopefully whatever species evolves in the end they figure out how make record players because I have a huge vinyl collection I'll be leaving behind haha
LMAO! .. fuckin eh man! Well this is our "Get to know yoiur blogger" Interview with Cale!
