Who are you?
Gentleman Jesse.

Describe yourself in three words.
Song Carpenter Extraordinaire.

Who — dead or alive — would most you like to meet?
Bruce Springsteen. My girlfriend met him at her work. She said he was supercool and asking about the music she was listening to. We went to see him on that last tour and it was amazing.

Who would you most like to slap in the face?
I’m not much for slapping faces. I’m more of a stern talking to kinda guy. That be said I would like to slap bad drivers, bad tippers and Bad Company (the band).

What song do you wish you had written?
Anything that King Tuff or NOBUNNY wrote.

Elvis Costello or Elvis Presley?
Elvis Presley. Fat of course.

LP, CD or MP3?
LP. what are those other ones?

If you could start one trend, what would it be?
I think I’m going to start LARPing. You know running around in the woods pretending to sword fight with some nerds. Anybody in?

If you could end one trend, what would it be?
Starting a garage band with no idea what garage music is. It did not start in 2001. Do some fucking homework.

With whom would you most like to play a game of spin the bottle?
A gentleman would not discuss these matters.

Gentleman Jesse plays The Earl as part of the Atlanta Mess-Around fest. on Sat., Nov. 15th. Two day passes are available for $20. Tickets are $12 at the door.

For today’s installment of Roll Call we call out NOBUNNY. The rabbit-masked and Ramones-esque crooner plays the Atlanta Mess-Around this Sat, Nov. 15th.

Who are you?
I’m nothing special. A dirt dog. Mr. Hyde. Primal screams and refried beans. A boxcar and a jug of wine. A 40 and a skateboard. The American dream. He who talks loud, saying nothing. I am nobody. I am NOBUNNY.

Describe yourself in three words.
Cuddly and Sadistic

Who — dead or alive — would most you like to meet?
I already met Hasil Adkins, so I’ll say Alive: Michael Jackson. Dead: Joey Ramone.

Who would you most like to slap in the face?
My little sister Megan. She’s a baaaad girl. Yes she is.

What song do you wish you had written?
“I Want You Back” by the Jackson 5ive. Not only do I wish I wrote it, I wish I sang it, recorded it, performed everything on it. Every time I hear it I imagine that it’s the opening track off my new record and just how damn satisfying that would be.

Elvis Costello or Elvis Presley?
PRESLEY!!! Anyone who answers Costello just doesn’t get it man. Wake up and LIVE people! You have the right to breath fresh air and fuck beautiful women! C’mon!

LP, CD or MP3?
dogshit

If you could start one trend, what would it be?
Compassion. Be kind to fast food workers. For a duck may be somebody’s mother.

If you could end one trend, what would it be?
While it’s petty, I can’t handle those bluetooth ear phone things. Whenever I see someone wearing one, I always want to take a hammer and whack ‘em real good in the ear.

With whom would you most like to play a game of spin the bottle?
17 year old Rosanna Arquette.
