[quote="sheerheartattack"]You should write to the pillows and ask for a job. Maybe you can intern for a year or two, and eventually they may give you a paid position, or you can go do something else. I mean, this does fuck all for any other career you might be considering, but you'll get to work for your favorite band (and get to know them personally), you'll get experience in the music industry, and you'll get to work for your favorite band. As a graduate of Princeton University with a focus on East Asian Studies...and a [i]thesis[/i] on the pillows themselves, they would be remiss to ignore your request.[/quote]

Shit just got [i]real[/i].

Shit just got might as well go for it for the lulz.

(Read: No one else is going to hire him.)

I make poor life decisions sometimes, I wouldn't worry too deeply about it.

If you get a job like that, I expect free shit.

Life decisions are always made in pirouzu.

[quote="Marekenshin"]I'd be glad to keep you guys updated. I feel like the brunt of the work will take place over winter break, and I'm a really lazy SOB about shit lately, so we'll see how the pace of things go.

@Terra: I actually have that magazine myself, as well, but if you have the sources for any of the translated interviews up on IM/other stuff, I'd be more than happy to get access to it. [/quote]

I emailed you some stuff. Share your scans too please? :3

[quote="terra"]I'll show you mine if you show me yours. :3[/quote]

Stop stalking me.

I'll post up everything I get access to that I get in scanned format for sure, and if I get ahold of anything physically that people don't have that I'm able to scan, I'll try to get that as well. I plan to translate a large chunk of interviews and stuff that I have to use for the thesis, as well, so goodness all around for everybody lol.

You know I've got the hookups, I've just been busy lately with papers and finals.
I should have time soon to scan and upload the whole book during winter break.

Maybe this is something you haven't got yet. (including scan)
It's a short interview, just before their first OOPARTS-tour show.
It isn't much, if you can't use it for your thesis, it's still interesting.

I don't know if these are useless but I'll post them anyway:

Smile interview ( I posted a video link on "the pillows on youtube" thread - but I don't think they're related)
