MY BLOOD IS BASICALLY MOLDY COFFEE AND DOG PISS: An Interview with Artist/Writer Michael Seymour Blake
By Brian Alan Ellis
Michael Seymour Blake once randomly sent me a video of himself cussing and spitting at his own reflection in a bathroom mirror. He’s one of my favorite artists.

BRIAN ALAN ELLIS: Leza Cantoral just asked me to do a monthly column for CLASH Media. *LOL*
MICHAEL SEYMOUR BLAKE: About what?
BAE: Anything. Maybe I’ll interview people. Interested?
MSB: The fuck would anyone care what I had to say? *LOL*
BAE: I do. You say some pretty interesting shit. I want the interview to be casual. Like, none of that “Who are your influences?” crap.
MSB: If you want to then sure, but I won’t be the first.
BAE: Why not?
MSB: Not into that.
BAE: Interview has already started.
