HMNI - Chris Black

Hello my name is…
Chris Black.

I was raised in…
Conyers, Georgia—but I lie and say Atlanta.

The reason that you’re reading about me is…
I manage artists, I make shirts, I blog, and my head looks like a watermelon on a toothpick.

I work for…
Done To Death Projects.

Right now I’m working on…
Done To Death Projects t-shirts, Rob Wonder taking over the planet, Cartel making a new album, Standard Atlanta Blog, my Internet addiction, and keeping it TRILL.

But I’d rather be…
Wearing basketball shorts enjoying a loaf of “bud bread” on my couch watching “Boston Legal” reruns.

My most prized possessions are…
My beard and Panerai Luminor Power Reserve watch.

But I’d give it all away for…
A guest starring role on “The Office,” one left hook to Jamie Foxx’s face.

The first thing I do in the morning is…
Run into walls looking for my glasses.

The last thing I do at night is…
Search for a decent late night show monologue and musical guest.

My momma always said…
“Stop being an asshole.”

I love it when people…
Make it happen, laugh a lot, and disregard Pitchfork’s opinion on any album.

I can’t stand when people…
Dress like the MAGIC Trade Show threw up on them, speak in movie quotes, think Dane Cook is funny.

The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen is…
“Morrissey Live at the Apollo.”

The ugliest thing I’ve ever seen is…
Spencer Pratt’s facial hair.

I am what I drive, which is…
2007 Mercedes Benz C240, black.

If you ever see me walking down the street…
Take off that XXXXXL NASCAR team jacket.

My most notable run-in with the law…
Three hours in jail on Avenue C for putting up a sticker on St. Marks. The NYC Graffiti Task Force got me—they were hiding out in a fake cab.

If I had to say sorry it would be because…
I was singing along to an Akon hit.

I get lose control when…
My BlackBerry turns off for no reason, “Ready To Die” comes on, store employees act holier than thou, people listen to Christian music.

The last time I swore I’d never drink was after a night of…
Passing out and cutting my forehead and getting a black eye. I was just trying to take a piss!

Future projects and plans…
Taking Done To Death global, a new Cartel album in ’08, Rob Wonder’s “No Static At All” project with Scion, limiting myself to five TMZ videos per day.

And before I leave I’d like to give a shout out to…
Cartel, Rob Wonder, Decatur Dan, Farshad Arshid, Dave Schnapper, Standard, Hayley Phelan, Ezra Morris, Kenn Two Four, Ellis Jones, Vice Magazine, DJ Skeet Skeet, Swindle Magazine, Gracie Cakes, The Hotel On Rivington, TCM Underground, Nightmare Of You, Ultragrrrl, Gurj Bassi, El Myr and Ozone MM.
