KCM: (laughing) So I am putting you on the spot, pink or purple?
and I love you so much that I can’t even handle you being alive”.
Manzin: Purple. I like purple because pink is traditionally the girl color and blue is the boy color and when you mix them together you get purple.
KCM- New York or LA?
Manzin- Rock. I like metal but all the songs I like the most are the singles that are played on the radio.
Manzin- Both! (laughing). For living, New York because it can keep up to my lifestyle with everything open 24 hours. LA has so many beautiful clubs. Lots of my friends are in LA. I can never get any work done in LA, which is a problem because I am always in vacation mode.
KCM- I hope this next one doesn’t make anyone mad (laughing) Golden Age of Grotesque or Eat Me, Drink Me?
KCM- So finally what can we expect in the future for you cause now thanks to me Krashcity is all into you.
Manzin- Eat Me, Drink Me.
Manzin- Wooo hoo you found me! Well I am going to be doing more of the same stuff. I have a really big shoot in the works that's going to be shot by my boss Melissa Rodwell who is an amazing fashion photographer. Hopefully I'm going to go out to LA and work with things out there. I'm hoping to have some merch out, I'm working on tshirts and I'm going to be making candles. I'm still selling posters on my website and hopefully, along with that, a website redesign. Please God, I need a website redesign! (laughing) That’s about it. I'm always looking for new shoots so just hit me up.
KCM- Rock or metal?
KCM- Oh my God really! Manzin- Yea. I love the Golden Age but I am angry about it because that was the one tour I didn’t get to see. If I would've seen it live I might've had more of a connection to it. My life was parallel with that album because that was when my relationship was going bad and I had the same obsessive “I want to consume you and drink everything that makes up your essence and pull it into myself and create a singular being out of the two of us”. I just felt so deeply with Eat Me, Drink Me and of course The High End of Low when it all came tumbling down in burning ruins after. Those two albums I feel a tie so much to what happened to me and that is why I love them so much. KCM- Yea I had lots of connections too with that album which we will talk about off the record. I loved the whole romantic theme that he used but it was all evil romance, which is my kind of romance. Manzin- Yea the whole “I love you so much that I want to kill you so no one else can have the experience of you dying but me. It’s a gift that I can give to you and you can give to me,
KCM- Awesome and that concludes it thanks so! Manzin- Thank you!
