Here's an interview he did on Friday.Sounds like the same Anton as always... > 1) How has your life changed after "Dig!"? For
> better or worse?
>
the shit has hit the fan in the uk and europe and it
would seem our original master plan infact worked.you
see,my medium is indeed communication and not rock and
roll.i never wanted to play guitar as to become a
bloated hunter
of blowjobs and free cocain rockstardom.i became what
i am to
destroy this twisted world of mind-fucking brian-dead
bullshit.
regaurdless of the motives of the film makers and
marketers of this project and the bull-shit-pedestrian
market angle press releases preporting to hearald the
dandys achievment and my downfall,we are infact in
better shape than ever.at this point we have had
upwards of 19,000,000 downloads off of our website's
mp3 section.we are running a spywhare program that
captures vital stats including e-mail/isp info and the
sorce of the link used to visit.
that is not underground,it is forward thinking.none of
this has effected our album sales to the negative
,but rather has sent a terrifing chill down certain
latent
homosexual bean counters in the main stream slave
market...erm..industry.we infact have had our
revolution and as promissed,we have show how to do.
"sucker's" ...
"i use everything....even the enemy"...
"cannot be defeated,will not be stoped."

no,i was ripped off and lied to.it is public
record.ondi got busted for drugs,i did not.check the
facts but listen,that's fucking plain wrong and she
will pay in civil court,and i'm putting you on
notice,i will infact come after you if you contribute
to this grave offence aswell.i'm including this whole
e-mail in a forward to my lawyers.do what thou will
shall be the whole of the law.
le't also take a moment to call a spade a spade here:
the dandys were miss treated and done a major
dis-service aswell.

you have no idea who the fuck i am.

>
i am here now to do my work.i wish someone with
fucking balls from another time would step up to the
plate and take control of our government.that's needed
but let's get real here:i write love songs for a
living.think about it.
> 5) You've gotta sit down sometimes and wonder 'Why

>
i do this because i applyed for an office of
possesion.i am doing my work.a vessel.what do you do
for a living?exccept payola to write about fucking
movies?give me a break.
> 6) You also seem to be a rather spiritual guy. What

>
i believe there is no god but god and i am his loyal
servant.
i'm affraid that kind of power is saddly lacking in
people like you.

is'mail'ism
parsival (not a film,but rather a massonic rite by
wagner) etc,etc,etc.

>
no,that's a fucking lie.i don't want to be on some
stupid fucking product pushing lable.name one fucking
major lable band of my peers that has created and
released 15 albums.think about it.there's something
greater at work here.i'm not selling pickup
trucks,soap,sketchers
windows 2005 or trying to get fucked by super models.
well,maybe i am going for the sweet-shit.
(iceland!!!)
i'm not like you.never have been and never will be.

bull-shit.do a search in france or england about our
project.no major lable involved in the breaking of
this band.we did this.i am the lable.you are a
wage-slave.we are free.fact.you humble yourself.
my ideas are infact a temple of god.your paper
is pablum.the truth is incontrivertable.

your face and life wasted.it scared the shit out of me

i have allways had my own unique sense of style.
the best looking women in the world give me the best
gifts.
for instance...smell this (motions to crotch)

>
yes i see my son and you would do well to remeber you
have been tricked.do you watch spiderman and wonder
how he can do what he does?it's a god damn film.i am
not a fucking film you cheese-eating-fucking ape.
it's none of your buisness about my son or my personal
life.

the pleasure was all mine.
