Interviews page

[Amiralanal]

Why not collect all the interviews thats floating around on the net on some page?

something like: offspringinterviews.com or something

[Tijs]

That sounds like a good idea. But who is willing to pay for it? I would, but I'd have to be sure that it's getting enough attention and contribution.

[Jennifer lost on patrol.]

You have my attention for good start...
but only when you translate it on Polish lang. (joke)

[Tijs]

Well, what I was thinking:

Just put every interview on the site, and if it's in a different language than English there should be a translation to English or possibly more languages. Kind of like Wikipedia, everyone can translate and edit it, except for the original interview.
I'm capable of coding and designing it. I don't want to get too deep into it during this stage though.

[Jennifer lost on patrol.]

So, U wont 2 make a regular website for offsping intervievs, or just put it intro this topic?

[Iamstupid]

I'm really interested with that idea. I think it's pretty cool. I could even help for translation into french to english and into english to french if you want to.

[Tijs]

I'm all in for a website. It's not very easy to find something in a thread.
On a website you can categorize everything, build in a search function and all that.

I remember reading some real cool interviews in a swedish magazine back in the americana era. They talked about the first time they had sex and the first time they got drunk. They also said that they had plans for a live album after americana.
I think my cousin still has those old magazines. It would be horrible not to publish them on the web. I can translate them if i find them.


Maybe it can be a section on offspringbootlegs.

Or hope that they "innterviewing" about their first times somewhere else :P

Hosting i not a problem, webmastering too.

[Jennifer lost on patrol.]

its live videos that cant be bought.

and few more..

I found an old audio recording of an interview at the Reading festival some year. I was thinking about uploading it for you guys and I guess this seems lke a good place to do it. Give me a day and it'll be up (it's on minidisc and I haven't got an audio cable with me at the moment). There's also a live version of Why Don't You Get A Job? but again I'm not entirely sure which year it is from.

Edit: For the interview page there should also be a scan from the original magazine or an mp3 of the interview, just for completeness!

[Tijs]

Yeah, sure....

and few more..It's not released by the band or it's label. It was illegally recorded and released to make profit off.

I scanned all my offspring magazines from brazil in high quality. I can't help translating to english cause i suck at english and it'll take so much time, i can try to help in the future if the website really exist. Enjoy the pics...

[Bazza]

Here's the promised audio clip, the interview part is only about 30seconds and I bet someone has uploaded a copy of this before, but anyways:

Sounds good, lets hear with the guys.

[Beheaded]

It could be a section on my site too.:)

[MrJoe]

Having a site dedicated to interviews sounds a good idea, but I don't think its worth paying for a whole new host etc for it.

I've got masses of webspace and bandwidth still spare despite hosting OffspringBootlegs, so if someone creates the pages, I'll happily host everything, and maybe we could get a really cheap domain which redirects to it.

Hit me.

[Beheaded]

Really cheap domain?
Let's take a subdomain, it's free.

And maybe, someone can write the admin of offspring.com to direct to this site or something like that.

[Biggest offspring fan]

Okay so ANDiTKO can make an interview section on offspringbootlegs (http://offspring.anditko.com/) main page, but we need someone who can help out add articels, anyone willing to help?

[Amiralanal]

I think everyone can contribute by just adding every goddamn interview that you can find on the web or in magazines etc.

[MrJoe]

Really cheap domain?

Maybe http://interviews.offspringbootlegs.info ?
I could get that set up soon.

In the meantime, theres an Interviews section up on http://www.offspringbootlegs.info now for the time being.

[ANDiTKO]

Nono... just check this (http://offspring.anditko.com/interviews/index.php) out.



So what do you think?

[Biggest offspring fan]

I think its great, and we should keep it like that.

[Tijs]

No room for translations?

[ANDiTKO]

If there are any translators i can make the whole site able to be translated.so there is no problem to make the site supporrt multilanguages.The prob is who can translate it?

[cool 2 hate 681]

hey guys i think a interview page is a great idea:)

i think it will also be really cool if you could make a setlist page from the live shows somewhat like the offspring.com tour archive but with setlist

[Beheaded]

For the german part, I would do my best. So I can use the interviews for my page too.

How it looks with pictures of interviews from a newspaper? Can I upload pics (I can't login myself at the moment)?

[Dr.evil]
