Tony VoltageName - Tony “Voltage”
Age - 24
Location – Los Angeles
Occupation – Human Resources Clerk

How do you acquire new music?
“Through interpunk.com or Headline Records in Hollywood”

What do you think of new CD prices; too high, too low, just fine?
“They are too high when it comes to mainstream corporate music. As for punk that I am into, sometimes I get bargains and sometimes they are high, depends on where I buy.”

What do you think of MP3 downloading, do you feel it’s justified or hurts the artist?
“Screw the artists, it’s a free enterprise. They still make millions so if they get hurt, big deal.”

Do you think Los Angeles is an easy or difficult place to meet others for dating?
“Very difficult because people have high expectations. You have to impress and try hard to get attention, unless you are the go-getter type.”

Have you used online services or personal ads to help you find people to date? If so, were you successful? If not, why not?

“I use them to meet people and if it turns out to be a date then fine. I have met many people from the net, some I keep in touch with and the others I don’t.”

If yes to the above question, any stories you’d like to share?
“Um… Sex, booze and punk rock ‘n’ roll, ha-ha! Whatever happens happens is what I say!”
