Roll Call: Mike Perkins of Pistolero
Thursday, April 16th, 2009
Who are you?
Mike Perkins from Pistolero.
Describe yourself in three words.
Adult. White. Male
Who — dead or alive — would you most like to meet?
Phillip K Dick. Sci Fi Author, 60′S -80′S. This guy had some of the most revolutionary ideas about human perception and the flow of time that I have ever read/thought about. He was this south California nut who just eked out a living writing books, doing meth and contemplating God.
**Don’t do meth, meth is bad for you.
Who would you most like to slap in the face?
I once got canned from a job because my boss threw me under the bus to save his own paycheck. Him I’d like to thoughtfully humiliate.
What song do you wish you had written?
Blue Bayou by Roy Orbison. The ultimate song of love and devotion, plus you just can’t beat Roy’s voice.
Elvis Costello or Elvis Presley?
Presley! People in Japan don’t dress up and sing like Costello.
LP, CD or MP3?
No MP3 player. No record player. My car has a CD player but I like public radio a lot. Terry Gross is the shit.
If you could start one trend, what would it be?
It only takes a moment to be polite.
If you could end one trend, what would it be?
I would like to see people stop taking the little plastic bags at grocery stores/bodegas/liquor spots. I was behind a woman in line today that took a plastic bag for a gift card she was buying. Just carry that shit in your hand…or the giant purse that swinging from your shoulder.
With whom would you most like to play a game of spin the bottle?
The ladies of Battletar Galatica. Starbuck, Caprica 6 and Boomer!
Pistolero plays a CD release show for their brand new full-length, Warface at The Star Bar on Sat., April 25 with North Elementary and Thee Crucials $8. 9 p.m.
