FAQ
Q: How can you have frequently asked questions when you are not even popular yet?
A: Through the modern miracle of time travel!
Q: What's the symbol mean?
A: The symbol is a cross between Anarchy and Jupiter. Jupiter represents social structure and the ability to interact with it. So the symbol represents an inability to adapt to social structure or... Antisocial!
Q: Why "The Artist Formerly Known As"?
A: Because I don't want to get sued by the four other bands that go by the name Antisocial. Plus, I get to make fun of Prince. Er... The Artist Former.... I go by Antisoc now.
Q: Why the name Antisocial?
A: I'm not a people person. I hate parties, especially when I don't know anybody. I hate meeting people for the first time, and I usually come across as a complete social failure. I can't make chit-chat, so I'm usually very quiet. I was homeschooled through high school, but that has little bearing on this - I was plenty antisocial before that in public school. I prefer computers to real people, and IM rather than talking on the phone. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a total social failure, but anyone who knows me at all can relate to the name.
Q: What gear or software do you use?
A: Jeskola Buzz, and the newly added Scratch. Garage Band is a worthy asset for recording vocals too.
