Funny interview, but i've met the man at the arches in Glasgow three times and he's just as bad with english in person .

The interview was unfair tho, the new zealanders took advantage of the bad english to get some laughs (what is marshmallow???????) and i'm sure no one here would like anyone from another country to do the same to them.

AWWW, F#@K it, i'm sure he won't mind, I laughed my ass off.

Incidentally, last time I met him, I tried to explain my Picotto orientated tattoo and he summoned over a friend of his who has the same tattoo which used to be my avatar. I went on to explain how much I liked his music and we had a discussion about various things (my claim to fame). My new avatar is my new tattoo, what d'ya think. Questions as to it's meaning may be directed to our Japanese speaking compadres.

Peace out.

I keep hearing good things about The Arches. Most of the people on the meganite forum are from Glasgow too...

So what does the tattoo mean?

The funniest part was where he said he wants to be like Justin Timberlake!!! FUCK, I'm still laughing hard!!!

I nearly collapsed when he said he wanted to sing like Trousersnake. The tattoo means......

Trance
&
Techno

Music is my life, what else can I say. On my other arm I have my son's date of birth and a Mauro Logo. These are the things which have affected me more than anything else and if anything else comes along that affects me such, I will surely display it on my person for everyone to see .

I remember BPM did an interview with him:

Mauro: "I don't quite remembaar.. my mind just gets FAACKED evvvarray daay"

(Note: I can't remember the question the interviewer asked that made him respond w/that. lol)

The exact katakana reading of the tattoo is

to ra n su
pu ra su
te ku no sa u n do

ie

trance
plus
technosound

which translates to "trance & techno"

And yea, it's a pretty cool interview.

But do you like the tattoo?

I have to live with the f#@k3R. I like it. Str8 2 th3 p01nt!

Ya, the tattoo is cool. It means something important to u!!

I made a shirt with that logo on it. Mauro used to have it shaved on his head.

Posted by Kev K on Aug-05-2004 05:58:

The logo which used to be shaved into mauro's hair is the logo from "the album".

I have that on my left arm. On my right arm is the japanese words you see to your left.

Thanks Miss Julia, you understand that this means something to me. I would also like to know how much research DJ_Elyot had to do to find out what it means when translated into english. I had to do quite a bit personally. No point in getting a half assed translation.

Incidentally, my cousin is a tattoo artist so post yer' orders here....

I've studied 2 years of Japanese... it's easy Katakana script (which is phonetic, unlike the Kanji characters, and is used for translating words of foreign origin into Japanese). Look up "katakana chart" and you'll probably have enough to translate any english names/words into japanese.

ex:
ba na na = banana
ko n pyu ta = computer
ba su = bus (basu, NOT busu which means "hideously ugly woman")
