21 Questions With Michael Flores

A&C INTERVIEWS

What is your earliest memory?

Living in the dry, flat desert of the West Texas countryside. My grandfather raised me and I would wait for him to come home from work. He would always have some treat or food for me, which meant the world to me at four or five years old.

If you weren’t a musician, what other profession would you choose?

I actually wanted some sort of job with NASA. Ironically, I guess I would be out of a job now as well, with the space program losing interest. I’ve always been fascinated with the stars and space travel.

21 Questions with Merykid

A&C INTERVIEWS

Please explain what just happened.

Just finished listening to “The Mood” on Kid Cudi’s new album.

What is your earliest memory?

For some reason I don’t have a lot of memories earlier than age 6… but I distinctly remember missing the school bus on the first day of kindergarten. My parents told me specifically, “Only ride home on Bus 88,” which later ended up breaking down. All of the passengers were told to simply board a new bus, but I refused to accept the change of plans!

If you weren’t a musician, what other profession would you choose?

An owner of a vending machine company, or maybe I would choose something less glamorous, like crime fighting.

Please describe the current contents of your refrigerator.

Lots of Thanksgiving leftovers, some Lebanese food, and soy milk.
