Historical Interviews #1 - J.R.R Tolkien

Taken from the J.R.R Tolkien Facebook page Hello fellow Lord of the Rings fans! (looking at you Middle Earth Musician :D) Recently, I came across a special device while clearing out my attic. It looked very much like the one ring. I put it on, and found I had the ability to call upon any deceased person from the past, and speak to them. So naturally (as I was listening to the Fellowship of the Ring audiobook at the time) I decided to call upon J.R.R Tolkien, and interview him. This is what happened. Me: Hello J.R.R Tolkien! Tolkien: Hello [Psylova], and please, just call me Tolkien. Me: Why Tolkien? Wouldn't you rather be called John? Tolkien: It's only for the purposes of this interview. I'm very proud of my family name! It comes from the German word "tollkühn", which means foolhardy! And calling me John would be boring now, wouldn't it? Me: Okay then Tolkien! Well, I would first like to talk to you about your early life. What was it like?

Modern Mozart

Hello again everybody! It's me, Psylova! I'm back to tell you all about a goal I am working towards. You see, I have always had an interest in music. And I don't mean modern songs about how awesome the singer is, but actual, genuine music. Music that tells a story (preferably a story without swear words), and gets your imagination going! Well, since I was little, I've been coming up with my own little pieces of music and singing them happily. Recently however, my dream of making my own music has become possible. About a year or so ago, I discovered my favourite music composer. If you were to ask me who my favourite musician was, I wouldn't say Beyonce or Kanye West or Michael Jackson, I would say to you, loud and proud, Antti Martikainen! He's a finnish composer who makes his own epic music and releases them in albums. Along with him, my favourites are Derek and Brandon Fiechter, Brunuhville, Peter Crowley Fantasy Dream and Adrien von Ziegler. Antti Mar
