Interview with Hip Hop DJ, MC and Producer, BUCK 65

ILM: Do you have a dream collaboration? Anyone you'd love to work with musically?

Buck 65: Tom Waits would be the ultimate. Or contributing to a David Lynch film, but that's pure fantasy.

ILM: Can you describe your favourite place on earth?

Buck 65: There's a place called Tofino in British Columbia where you find yourself on a white, sandy beach, sandwiched between rain forest and the Rocky Mountains. Pretty friggin' spectacular!

ILM: What are your early memories of music and what/who are your main musical influences now?

Buck 65: When I was very young I was into Kiss. It had more to do with the spectacle than the music. I discovered hip hop in '81 or '82, when I was ten. Now I mostly listen to old jazz, blues and bluegrass from the '20's and '30's.

ILM: What is in your CD player / on your decks right now?

Buck 65: Lately I have been rotating Sparklehorse, Leadbelly… I'm pretty into PJ Harvey.

ILM: What does the future hold for Felix Da Housecat - Spring and Summer?

Buck 65: He'll begin to shed his winter coat come April and then he'll be looking to mate.page << 1 2 3 4 5 6 >>
