The Ruby Suns interview
Ryan McPhun is a musical Krishna; the multi-talented operator behind The Ruby Suns has a new album out on Sub-Pop called Fight Softly. With an almost entirely new sonic palette compared to that of 2008's lush Sea Lion, the Sun's new album represents a trip out into sparse synth land. I spoke to Ryan during my lunch break.
Style Wars interview
Max Olijnyk: How old were you when the film was made? What was going on in your world at that point in time?
Carlos Rodriguez: When Style Wars was being filmed in 1982 I was about 15 yrs old. My world back then was what seemed normal to me and my friends, stealing paint, going out to discos or jams, going into train yards late at night to create masterpieces.
Jack Ladder interview
If you lived in Sydney a few years ago and ordered a pizza, you may have had the pleasure of opening the door to see Jack Ladder standing there holding your stuffed-crust supreme. I'm sure it was an okay job but he's since given that up to do boring things like making albums and performing on American breakfast television.
032c, 17th issue, Berlin, Summer 2009
Stop staring at the cover and listen. In Berlin in January this year I was lucky enough to be there at the same time that Mike Mills was opening The Only Way Out Is Through at Pool Gallery. I arrived there at 6pm, Standard-Melbourne-Gallery-Opening-Time (SMGOT), to find them putting the finishing touches on the show.
Deerhunter interview
Have you ever had to interview someone before? It makes me nervous. When I spoke to Bradford Cox from Deerhunter I was freaking the fuck out. My arse was sweating and I needed to pee real bad all the time. Don't ask me why, I can't help it. I just get really nervous. Anyway, so I'm sitting there with my little notepad of questions and Bradford calls me.
Matt & Kim interview
It's been a year and three months since Matt & Kim came to Oz for the very first time. When asked if he's excited about coming back next month, Matt describes the first visit as similar to having a baby... "Childbirth must be the most excruciating pain ever, I don't know how women do it, and then some do it again and again.
Digitalism interview
Digitalism are two German record store employees who decided to hunker down in a WWII bunker in Hamburg and make a giant indie electronic crossover album instead of just running the till. I missed Jence a few times but got his bangin' techno voicemail where I left messages like a jilted love. I decided that wasn't enough to write about so I tried again and actually conducted a proper interview.
