Stix Zadinia from glam parody rockers Steel Panther flexes his muscles to talk sex, drugs and rock‘n’roll
First record you ever bought Motley Crüe’s Shout at the Devil. I stole all my records up until this one.
Last time you were chatted up 20 minutes ago. First film you saw that really moved you E.T.
Last lie you told Last night I told a girl I loved her so she would share her blow with me. First movie you ever went on a date to E.T.
Last time you cried At E.T. First thing you do when you’ve got time off work Get stoned and play more drums.
Last book you read No books.
First great piece of advice you were given Don’t talk to strangers, cause they’re only there to do you harm. Last time you were star struck I don’t remember.

Last meal on earth – what would it be? Tuna casserole.
First song you’ll sing at karaoke Madonna’s ‘Like a Virgin’ First time you realised you were famous When I saw myself on TV.

Last extravagant purchase you made I bought a new pair of spandex pants with fringe and leather. First crush Farah Fawcett.
Last time you made an impulse buy and regretted it Condoms. First concert you ever attended Neil Diamond. This chick I was banging loved the Diamond and sometimes you

have to make sacrifices. Vagina then metal.
WeLike The things making our world just that little bit better
■ Ah! Autumn! We love it! The buzz of the students coming back, the theatre season kicking off, the smell of bonfires, and a proper excuse to buy ‘fat boy’ baked potatoes for lunch. And the gigs! We’ve spent a lot of time stroking our Yeah Yeah Yeahs tickets in increasingly frenzied anticipation. 2 THE LIST 10–24 Sep 2009
Who needs ‘summer’? Who even remembers ‘summer’? We’ve spent this fortnight
doing decidedly
cosy things all over both cities: curling up at the Monday film nights at Sofi’s in Leith, and wrapping ourselves up in 1960s cashmere cardis
from Vintage Guru, the excellent new, er, vintage shop on Byres Road (why didn’t anyone think of that before?). We also like socialising, Japanese style: ie renting private karaoke booths at the newly-opened Electric Circus and yowling ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’ at each other for an hour. What? We’re totally hip here at Scotland’s Cultural Bible . . .
