I have concluded the interview with the band My Tiger My Timing and here it is for your reading pleasure. By now the name should be familiar with you as I've covered the band quite a bit on here. What was interesting about this interview is the (in)famous 140 character limit as far as the questions and answers. Here's a breakdown of who is who.
@jacobcristobal - me, your interviewer
@mytigermytiming - the band's general twitter, controlled by Anna Vincent
@marginalworld - Anna Vincent (vocals, keys)
@JamesCVincent - James Vincent (guitar, bass, vocals)
@harrisonmtmt - Jamie Harrison (guitar, bass, vocals)
@globalseb - Seb Underhill (keys, vocals)
Drummer Gary Drain was unavailable for the interview, an interview in which the band discussed about their Halloween plans, what's on their playlist and who they would like to work with. Onward to the interview.
jacobcristobal

mytigermytiming
@jacobcristobal good evening! :-)
marginalworld
@jacobcristobal good evening! :-)
mytigermytiming
@jacobcristobal I'm not sure exactly how many of the Tigers we've got as we're all in different places but they might chip in!
mytigermytiming
Excite!
harrisonmtmt
@jacobcristobal very well thanks. Yourself? I don't think we have a full house do we?
JamesCVincent
@jacobcristobal @marginalworld @globalseb @harrisonmtmt @garydrain @mytigermytiming Hey how's it going?
mytigermytiming
@harrisonmtmt @jacobcristobal no Gary I think...
harrisonmtmt
@mytigermytiming seb?
mytigermytiming
@harrisonmtmt anna here :-)
jacobcristobal
@harrisonmtmt @mytigermytiming I'm well, thanks. Congrats on success of "Endless Summer" and "Written In Red" How are you all taking it?
mytigermytiming
@jacobcristobal thank you! we're enjoying it - it's been a gradual process so feels kinda natural
harrisonmtmt
@jacobcristobal @mytigermytiming thank you. It's incredible to work so hard and have such praise for it.
JamesCVincent
@jacobcristobal we can't wait to get out to the USA to play these songs (& others) live for all you guys...
jacobcristobal
@JamesCVincent I'm certain you guys will get a great reception when you do shows here in the States.
JamesCVincent
@jacobcristobal we hope so...getting over to your side of the pond is def a priority for next year.
jacobcristobal
@mytigermytiming @JamesCVincent @harrisonmtmt "Endless Summer" got quite the remix treatment. Which versions stand out for you?
mytigermytiming
@jacobcristobal they're all so cool and different it's hard to choose... we love the remix by @kinemamusic cos it's so danceable...
mytigermytiming
@jacobcristobal ...and the remix by @brightlightx2 is so uplifting and lush! We feel really privileged to have worked with such great people
harrisonmtmt
@jacobcristobal @mytigermytiming my personal fave was the hi-nrg Bright Light Bright Light mix. Sounds like a 90s classic.
marginalworld
@harrisonmtmt @jacobcristobal totally - all about the 90s!
jacobcristobal
@mytigermytiming @harrisonmtmt @JamesCVincent Each remix gave the song a new wrinkle. So, Halloween weekend, any plans? Fav horror movies?
mytigermytiming
@jacobcristobal well we just did a photoshoot in skeleton outfits and horror masks so we're getting into the spirit!
marginalworld
@jacobcristobal my fave horror movie is Rosemary's Baby...last year we put a projector in my living room and got popcorn and rolled that one
harrisonmtmt
@jacobcristobal @mytigermytiming I'm heading from a mtmt photoshoot to a party think I'll go as a zombie tv presenter #NoelDeadmonds
marginalworld
@harrisonmtmt @jacobcristobal haha love it! we've got X-Factor on TV, that's a bit of a horror show!
mytigermytiming
@harrisonmtmt @jacobcristobal I don't think Noel Edmonds made it across the pond!
harrisonmtmt
@mytigermytiming @jacobcristobal absolute travesty!
JamesCVincent
@jacobcristobal The Shining is a fave, although never watch it stoned, it gets kinda too much...its the crazy sound design...creepy.
globalseb
@jacobcristobal @mytigermytiming @harrisonmtmt @JamesCVincent organising remixes gives us wrinkles too :)
jacobcristobal
@harrisonmtmt Awesome. @mytigermytiming Had to Google him first, but I see it now. @JamesCVincent I still get creeped out by the twins.
mytigermytiming
@globalseb @jacobcristobal @harrisonmtmt @JamesCVincent yay it's Seb! :-)
harrisonmtmt
@jacobcristobal @mytigermytiming @JamesCVincent I've not seen a genuinely scary movies for ages. I'm so up for being scared too!
mytigermytiming
@jacobcristobal @harrisonmtmt @JamesCVincent Edmonds is a bit of a national treasure/hate figure...
JamesCVincent
@jacobcristobal @harrisonmtmt The Orphanage is very scary...
harrisonmtmt
@JamesCVincent @jacobcristobal yeah? I'm-a get it.
jacobcristobal
@JamesCVincent I agree.
JamesCVincent
@jacobcristobal yeah its like a nightmare.
jacobcristobal
@mytigermytiming @harrisonmtmt @JamesCVincent @globalseb Fill in the blank: A My Tiger My Timing concert is _____
harrisonmtmt
@jacobcristobal @mytigermytiming "...an 'I swear I was there' event."
mytigermytiming
@jacobcristobal sweaty / passionate / fun / loud / real (a bit sexual really!) ;-)
globalseb
@mytigermytiming @jacobcristobal @harrisonmtmt @JamesCVincent definitely __SEXY__
harrisonmtmt
@globalseb @mytigermytiming @jacobcristobal @JamesCVincent don't cheapen it. We sound like a band from a Carry On film.
jacobcristobal
@mytigermytiming Quick step back to the photoshoot, when will the photos be up on the website?
mytigermytiming
@jacobcristobal photos will be up in a week or so I think, we did some great stuff with sparklers...and dinosaurs!
harrisonmtmt
@jacobcristobal in a week or so. We got some amazing shots in the park near Crystal Palace amongst the dinosaurs.
jacobcristobal
@mytigermytiming @JamesCVincent @harrisonmtmt @globalseb What's in your playlist these days?
marginalworld
@jacobcristobal @mytigermytiming I'm loving EMA, I Break Horses, Warpaint, Twin Shadow...Ace of Base!
JamesCVincent
@jacobcristobal I went to write Warpaint, but my predictive text went for Warrant...my phone likes hair metal!
harrisonmtmt
@jacobcristobal @mytigermytiming @JamesCVincent @globalseb noone wants to fire first!
marginalworld
@JamesCVincent @jacobcristobal haha...I'm the hair metal fan (genuine) I'm actually going to LA in December in homage to the Crue (kinda)!
globalseb
@marginalworld @jacobcristobal @mytigermytiming i've been listening to quite a bit of @FangIsland, Jamie xx ans Smashing Pumpkins lately
harrisonmtmt
@jacobcristobal @mytigermytiming I've been doing a lot of driving lately and screaming myself horse listening to Deftones or Rihanna.
JamesCVincent
@jacobcristobal I'm excited by the new Tom Waits album...big fan.
mytigermytiming @jacobcristobal also feeling curious about the Lou Reed/Metallica collabo LULU!
jacobcristobal
@JamesCVincent There's always time for Tom Waits. @harrisonmtmt Awesome spectrum covered there. @mytigermytiming Sounds like an great show.
jacobcristobal
@JamesCVincent @harrisonmtmt @mytigermytiming @globalseb Who are the 3 musicians each of you would like to work with if given the chance?
harrisonmtmt
@jacobcristobal @mytigermytiming Madonna, @robynkonichiwa or @rihanna. But @marginalworld would still be my fave.
marginalworld
@jacobcristobal Right now my dream musician to work with would be @trent_reznor
JamesCVincent
@jacobcristobal I'd put together a band...Jaki Liebezeit (of Can) on drums, me on bass, Prince on lead guitar & Kate Bush on vocals...
marginalworld
@harrisonmtmt @jacobcristobal awwww! it's true actually, i'm in a band with my 4 favourite musicians!
harrisonmtmt
@marginalworld @jacobcristobal oh, you!
jacobcristobal
@JamesCVincent Sign me up for that show. @marginalworld Reznor is awesome. @harrisonmtmt Madonna will be the NFL's Super Bowl Halftime Show
harrisonmtmt
@jacobcristobal and I'm certain she'll smash it!
jacobcristobal
@JamesCVincent @mytigermytiming @harrisonmtmt @globalseb Couple more Q's. Any football supporters? If so, which clubs?
marginalworld
@jacobcristobal I'll pass you over to the boys on this!
harrisonmtmt
@jacobcristobal @mytigermytiming Gary 'the wanderer' Drain is a lifelong Everton fan despite organised sport being essentially pointless.
mytigermytiming
@jacobcristobal @jamescvincent is a Charlton fan... @globalseb is a Gulls fan (Torquay) :-)
JamesCVincent
@jacobcristobal sorry just getting ready to head out to eat some Swedish meatballs (coming Seb?)...yes I'm a Charlton fan. How about you?
jacobcristobal
@JamesCVincent I am a Seattle Sounders FC supporter. US is a bit behind on doing the game proper, but we're getting a lot of notice.
JamesCVincent
@jacobcristobal Cool. I'll have to check them out. Always wanted to go to Seattle. Iconic rock n roll city.
jacobcristobal
@mytigermytiming @harrisonmtmt @JamesCVincent @globalseb Last question. What's on the horizon for the band? You, individually.
harrisonmtmt
@jacobcristobal @mytigermytiming new single (14th) then a small UK tour before christmas. Album hopefully in the new year and then the world
mytigermytiming
@jacobcristobal well, our next single Written in Red comes out Nov 14th and we're touring the UK Nov 24th to 30th, can't wait!
harrisonmtmt
@jacobcristobal @mytigermytiming for me individually I'm going to start practicing with Madonna for the Superbowl next year.
mytigermytiming
@jacobcristobal and we're working on our album which will be out next spring!
harrisonmtmt
@jacobcristobal @mytigermytiming she hasn't replied to those emails yet though...
marginalworld
@jacobcristobal aside from the band, I'm looking forward to my Stateside excursion in Dec and starting my hair metal project (maybe!)
jacobcristobal
