GREGASAURUS TALKS WITH JIMMY VEGAS ABOUT ALL THINGS JIMMY VEGAS

So why do you call yourself Jimmy Vegas? Why not Jimmy Brisvegas?

Mate…Jimmy Brisvegas would just sound pretty damn lame don’t you think?! Stupid question…Next!

You began working at GPO doing promo. So what then urged you to pursue a career from behind the decks?

Promotions was fun for a while but the challenge left the job and I was getting bored so having fun with the lads, getting loose and playing music seemed the next viable option!

I see you have entered in the In The Mix 50 this year. How do you think you will go? “Insert shameless plug here"

Who knows mate?  It would be wicked to crack into that top 50 but we will have to wait and see.  I’m all out of shameless plugs so please vote for me through the in the mix icon at www.myspace.com/jimmy_vegas.  I’ll be your best friend…

What are your views on the club scene in Brisbane at the moment with all the new venues popping up?

I think it’s healthy for the scene here to have new competition through new competitors.  It helps weed out the clubs that won’t work and helps give people more options on where they can go.  GPO is relatively new but has cemented itself in the scene these days (which is good news for me!).

Do you any plans for producing in the future Jimmy?

Definitely.  It’s the only way to get decent longevity out of this business.  I have the basics for a studio at home but need to learn how to produce properly rather than sitting in my basement making music that sounds like someone is dropping things!

CD’s or vinyl?

C.D’s my man.  I have a small collection of vinyl as well but c.d’s remain the usual for me.

Now time for the juicer stuff….

What do you get up to in your spare time aside from sleeping and ponyloafing?

I recently found out that I can now sleep AND ponyloaf simultaneously! Other than that it’s sleeping, movies, coffee, and generally trying not to go back to sleep!

You live with another GPO DJ Brett J. I can imagine there are a lot of shenanigans there. What are some of Brett’s bad habits aside from bringing home random scenesters to rub his hairy chest?

Oh, there’s a long list there my man but generally I’m involved with those shenanigans and, come to think of it, so are YOU Greg!

Who is your biggest groupie?

You are Greg, YOU ARE!  Touch me if you like…go on you know you want to…

Do you have a GF, BR or do you simply prefer to make the most of your profile and sleep around with your groupies?

Mate the profile is not that hot yet but other than that del is my girl and Brett J is my bitch…what more could I want?

Funniest thing seen from the DJ booth?

Seen FROM the booth?  It’s more a question of what I’ve seen IN the booth…

Do you wipe or scrunch?

I’m a folder mate.

Myspace. Honestly how many hours a day are you online and have you ever picked up from using it?

I’m probably on there a couple of hours a day I’m ashamed to say!  It’s an awesome promotional tool but no, I’ve never picked up on myspace (although I don’t think it would be too difficult).

Anything else you would like me to ask????

Mate you’re giving the interview not me!

DJ you would most like to play with? Not in a sexual way….

In a non-sexual way: The Swedish House Mafia lads…In a sexual way: Brett J.

If I were to ask you if you want some baileys what would you say?

Mmm baileys, creamy…beige…I’m Old Greg!

 I’m pretty much out of questions so can you leave us with a parting message, quote or random one liner that doesn’t really mean an anything?  

‘The weekend has landed. All that exists now is clubs, drugs, pubs and parties. I've got 48 hours off from the world, man. I'm gonna blow steam out my head like a screaming kettle, I'm gonna talk cod shit to strangers all night, I'm gonna lose the plot on the dancefloor. The free radicals inside me are freakin', man! Tonight I'm Jip Travolta, I'm Peter Popper, I'm going to never-never land with my chosen family, man. We're gonna get more spaced out than Neil Armstrong ever did, anything could happen tonight, you know? This could be the best night of my life. I've got 73 quid in my back burner - I'm gonna wax the lot, man! The Milky Bars are on me! Yeah!’ (Human Traffic)
