I did, and then I watched Nightmare, too. I have to ask who comes up with the concepts for your videos and could you tell us a little about the videographers that you used? What can you tell us about Misanthropik Records? When did you decide you wanted to be a musician and what triggered that? If you were creating a playlist for a long trip, what bands would you be listening to? Play anywhere with anyone, where would it be and with whom? Was music something that kept you alive, or was it something that you continued to do in spite of suffering that it may have caused you? Looking back would you have done anything differently.
