<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Interview conducted by David Eliade in January 2006 for Heartattack Fanzine:</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><b>You guys get a lot of flak about putting out records that are hard to get. Why do you think that is?</b></i></span> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i> Pink Eyes: Everyone is down on rare records until they get one. I'm the same way. If a band puts out a limited record I'm like fuck them... until I track down a copy. I think we have that reputation but it is for the most part undeserved. We have only ever put out one legit limited record and one kind of limited record the other ones have been mistakes by pressing plants or label fuck ups.</i></span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i> Marbles: It’s because a lot of record collectors are full of shit. We did those Euro-only presses of some of the Deranged tunes for tour and lots of people got pissed off because they had a hard time acquiring them. So there are all these people who advocate the practice of ridiculous </i></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>record nerdery by trying to get all these records that no one else can get, but then blame a band when they can't get the records they make. Its hard to understand - we made those records because the older singles didn't really get to Europe and it would have been too much work repressing every single, and all of a sudden you hear people shit talking the band because they can't get the record. They weren't made for North Americans. If you can't own every single Fucked Up record, don't get mad at us, maybe re-evaluate your priorities in life.</i></span></blockquote>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirkr0N6f5IsmDrIMtneEbA4kmGvXA3rHcUs0Kx8zA98J4qEVFSYeOyH7urlf5lgw32gzEfJp6fMqxAEF-Y99Gx5hZy0lCFgpDeFVYTPomavqFlC-cfY1YJfLs1ohda99sIGxvgAnVDpEw/s1600/INTRO2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="357" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirkr0N6f5IsmDrIMtneEbA4kmGvXA3rHcUs0Kx8zA98J4qEVFSYeOyH7urlf5lgw32gzEfJp6fMqxAEF-Y99Gx5hZy0lCFgpDeFVYTPomavqFlC-cfY1YJfLs1ohda99sIGxvgAnVDpEw/s1600/INTRO2.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr>

</tbody></table>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><b>So why did you publish such an extensive discography on the blog, if not as an invitation to try and get everything?</b></i></span> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i> Marbles: It was more as a discouragement, to let people know how impossible/ridiculous it is to try and get it all. </i></span></blockquote>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Since that interview, many more Fucked Up records have been released, along with a few more variations. Some have been </span><a href="http://lookingforgold.blogspot.co.uk/2010/02/record-store-day.html" style="font-family: inherit;">intentionally organised by the band</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">, but the majority are associated with the various (pre-Matador) independent labels and are the result of error, available materials, or intentionally adding something to make an otherwise standard item become exclusive.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b style="font-family: inherit;">Themes and concepts:</b><br />
<br />
There are a lot of these, some are quite complex; whilst most could be related in some way to the wonders of life and the delusions of authority, they can be interpreted in a number of ways... It would be nice to provide a more definitive summary; unfortunately this site is being compiled by someone with no connection to the band, armed with little more than <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Wikipedia" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>, the Looking For Gold Blog and various interviews by others: all of these have proven at times to be unreliable sources of information.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Most of the notes are </span>therefore<span style="font-family: inherit;"> cut and pasted from elsewhere, like a scrap book. Putting it in chronological order should reveal some of the </span>narrative<span style="font-family: inherit;"> threads that link things together. Whatever, it's easier than </span>paraphrasing<span style="font-family: inherit;"> and:</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>This is what a punk band does - borrow, steal, etc. We're just a patchwork of a million other things. I don't think we have a defined or central aesthetic or ideology, we just know how to pick parts from other ones really well. </i>(1)</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So it must be all right. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">The copied notes are taken from as close to the source as possible - ideally, from </span>writings<span style="font-family: inherit;"> by and interviews with members of the band. Elsewhere, information taken from other sources is included where considered relevant, to expand upon the themes and concepts; some of the key ones appear very early on in the discography and are developed or re-presented, becoming more and more <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obfuscation">obfuscated</a> </span>by metaphor as the music itself paradoxically <span style="font-family: inherit;">becomes more accessible, culminating in the David Comes to Life LP; <a href="http://store.matadorrecords.com/david-comes-to-life">presented</a> at the time of it's release as being the ultimate statement of the narrative. Time will tell. </span><br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPOt-2AijJui49O6A8DNnmeGljSoOU2DKrNv_owPfo9lIrFpQCWNs1GSVz6SkBesrbYbgp3Rs0KPNDKPiovOCdokGmBMe_nAQLRKYuC8qR2NizRup4wYnUqQ0W41AE0LhE-czXj6fhtvs/s1600/intro3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="271" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPOt-2AijJui49O6A8DNnmeGljSoOU2DKrNv_owPfo9lIrFpQCWNs1GSVz6SkBesrbYbgp3Rs0KPNDKPiovOCdokGmBMe_nAQLRKYuC8qR2NizRup4wYnUqQ0W41AE0LhE-czXj6fhtvs/s400/intro3.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<br /></blockquote>
<b style="font-family: inherit;">Numbers Pressed:</b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It’s best to take some of these figures as indicative.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">First of all, much of the available information is taken from old sources and may not take account of later re-pressings </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Secondly it soon becomes clear when contacting some of the labels involved that most can't remember, or don't care, or don't like answering nerdy questions from anally retentive record collecting nob-ends. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Thirdly, a review of the information on the band's blog finds pressing info varying between posts and sometimes within the same post. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Maybe a better way of looking at the pressing numbers of </span>Fucked Up<span style="font-family: inherit;"> records is that they come in 4 categories:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1. Readily available: 500 or more pressed</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2. Available if you’re prepared to wait: 100-500 pressed</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">3. Available if you’re persistent and ideally a spendthrift: 30-100 pressed</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">4. Only available, if you’re lucky: Less than 30 pressed </span><br />
<br />

It appeared under its original title during the ''No Pasaran'' session (see 'No Pasaren' cassette), then under a 'fake' title ''Black Iron Prison'' during the ''Police'' session, (see FU / Haymaker split 7") both versions sound remarkably alike. Here we get the previously unreleased demo version, which is nice for completists, or anyone who's worn all the grooves off all seven of their different colour variants of the Haymaker split. The real problem is the fake title,didn't appear until 2005, so if you are a nerd, you might wonder about its use here... </span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Titles <span style="background-color: white;">in <strike>strike through text</strike> </span> evolved into 'proper' songs and do not appear on the 2022 version. The 'Original' version includes two tracks that would become the 'B' sides to the first 7" and first Zodiac record. ''Circling The Drain'' was omitted from the Demo track-list, when the 'Official' version appeared in December 2001; it was recorded in it's final form a weeks later, during the ''No Pasaran'' session. ''Land of Nod'' was later renamed ''Last Man Standing'' and became the 'B' side to ''Year of the Dog'', maybe explaining its absence from the 2022 'update'.</span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;">The 7" liner notes credit </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">Martin Farkas for the recording (1st August 2001) and note the first 5 tracks were <i>released on a tape in late December 2001</i>, i.e. it's the 'Official' version, but track 6 'Sirens' is restored from the 'Original' so it's BOTH versions. Even better than that... Track 7 'Black Iron Prison' is from the '+5' (sort of), so you get the full 'Demo Trilogy' experience as of should be, carefully pruned of troublesome anthems that might distract from these elemental sparks...</span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;">The 7'' liner notes do not credit Martin Farkas with the vocals on ''Achilles List'', meaning this song is the only recording of Damian's vocals that don't sound like Damian and it's pure coincidence that the person they sound exactly like, happened to be in very close proximity to the microphone when the vocal sound waves were produced. To suggest otherwise would open a can of worms; just do the math: Martin's vocals + Jonah hitting something + 2 or 3 other buds = Career Suicide.</span></li></ul><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjx70KQjuFzkfQquGl-ZCtmSP_K7HD4BSRQg4Ix20NWzvhKLDN0Wn_YuklHj9cc6tXEd_fS9JMhWt9OnFSqW8XbilqlLAekXRhLhyhFRWHBDGe9q1TG4QXwaFtNT2-aUv32H6k8AF9ixv7ZyOXUNgkqbDYem2EKnIaIM9W-rI0SO1dhGB4B2LjtO8VT=s601" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="124" data-original-width="601" height="20" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjx70KQjuFzkfQquGl-ZCtmSP_K7HD4BSRQg4Ix20NWzvhKLDN0Wn_YuklHj9cc6tXEd_fS9JMhWt9OnFSqW8XbilqlLAekXRhLhyhFRWHBDGe9q1TG4QXwaFtNT2-aUv32H6k8AF9ixv7ZyOXUNgkqbDYem2EKnIaIM9W-rI0SO1dhGB4B2LjtO8VT=w97-h20" width="97" /></a></div></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Black Iron Prison: </b></div><div><br /></div><div>Coined by Philip K Dick in his novel ''VALIS'', the <i>Black Iron Prison</i> is a concept of social control which goes beyond common ideology, to take root in the very substrate of whatever manifests the prisoner's beliefs about their reality:</div><div><br /></div><div><div><i>Everyone who had ever lived was literally surrounded by the iron walls of the prison; they were all inside it and none of them knew it. </i>THE EMPIRE NEVER ENDED. </div><div><i><br /></i></div><div>VALIS, along with Grant Morrison's <i>Invisibles </i>were complimentary influences on the young Fucked Up. Both authors explore perennial ideas, that over millennia have been persistently supressed wherever they have arisen. Both recycle these ideas and mix them into stories of ordinary contemporary reality and along the way, find something extraordinary, if not extra-terrestrial. For Dick, it was a Vast Active Living Intelligence System, for Morrison, Barbelith; his characters found themselves ever-capable of smashing through prison walls and sometimes through the graphic framework of their world, but always left wondering which side they are on, all to the tune of <i>the world is not what it seems.</i></div><div><br /></div></div><div><div>According to one story, Fucked Up came to life out of a zine influenced by such things, and if this is true, the <i>'Original' </i>demo marks the beginning of the metamorphosis with a brief punk documentary- journalism phase; the <i>'Official'</i> shows the early development of a different kind of communication </div><div><br /></div><div>Twenty years on, it might be tempting to permanently link the demo tracks with the 'weird waving girl' imagery of the ''official'' cassette version.

<b> Pressing Info: </b><br />
If you're into accurate stats, than consider yourself baited... Basically there seem to be three sleeve variants (excluding the <a href="http://fuckedupdiscography.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/two-fakes-fake-dangerous-fumes-baiting.html">'Fake' vinyl version)</a>. The 'Large Text Sleeve' is listed in various places as being 500 copies, but judging by availability, the 250 figure below is more likely...<br />
<br />
Either<br />
<a href="http://www.discogs.com/Fucked-Up-Baiting-The-Public/release/4031476">1000</a> (Comprising 500 with 'Small Text Sleeve' and 500 with 'Large Text Sleeve')<br />
or<br />
<a href="http://toxiccityblog.tumblr.com/post/88895261971/fucked-up-baiting-the-public">750</a> (Comprising 500 with 'Small Text Sleeve' and 250 with 'Large Text Sleeeve')<br />
<br />
There is also a 3rd sleeve variant, which is the same as the 'Small Text Sleeve', but the Deranged logo does not have a border and the image is more cropped. This may be a repress, numbers issued of this one are unknown.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<b>Inserts:</b></div>
<div>
No regular insert. Some have small photocopy flyer advertising Deranged Records releases.<br />
<ul></ul>
<b>Variants:</b><br />
1. Large Text Sleeve<br />
2. Small Text Sleeve (Deranged Logo With Border)<br />
3. Small Text Sleeve (Deranged Logo, No Border)<br />
4. 'Wrong Label' Version - See ''Fake Dangerous Fumes''<br />
<br />
Some have stamped dust cover, this applies mostly, possibly solely to Variants 1 & 2 and probably to pre-orders, or those coming direct from the label.<br />

</span><b>Extracts From MRR Interview:</b><br />
<br />
<i>...We kind of formed to put some ideas I’d had into practice. Me and Camp used to do a long winded zine…we quit that and sublimated those energies into this band, which has essentially become the 4th issue of Quick. All the ideas and concepts I’d saved for articles, became ideas for songs (most of which haven’t appeared yet). Baiting the Public was going to be an article on the history of derisive movements or thought-control experiments through history – Paracelcus and Alchemy - - "god did not choose to give us the medicines prepared. he wants us to cook them ourselves", to Pavlov and William Sargent, the the Actionists, to William Joyce – these are all people who were able to use frenzy, fear and admiration to beat people’s minds to the extent to which they become maleable and useful. That’s basically why we started the band – using music laced with subtle hints and a strong emphasis on symbols, sigils and logos – to get people to dig us to the extent that we could dig right back into them...</i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i>...One time my friend said that the problem with punk was that bands didn’t try and change peoples lives anymore, and he was coming from a mid-90s perspective, when there were bands like Born Against, trying to be really important for people. That’s what we want to do, but maybe with different motives.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i><b>Is that what Baiting the Public was trying to do?</b></i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i>Yeah, the lyrics were about whipping people into a frenzy, and the record itself was sort of trying to do the same thing – you can’t read the lyrics, you have to flip the record to hear the second half of the song, people were already pissed off about 2 song singles for some reason, the cover gets dog-eared really easily, the liner notes don’t make any sense. Originally, the plan was to make 1000 of side A as a one sided single on Deranged, and self-release 200 of the bside so that 800 people who be left without the whole song. It obviously won’t, but the record was designed as a tribute to art projects that were able to send people rioting out of the theatres or fainting in the gallery. “Now that you think like me, you can act like me”, that whole deal. We’re the big fish, trying to gobble up all the little fish.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i><b>But do you think that’s an effective or even a responsible way at creating change in society? The point seems to be to wreck peoples lives to the point where they have the perspective of someone living in the gutter, which I get, but the control and coercion in getting there seems to have an underlying almost facsism to it.</b></i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i>I think it more has to do with the perspective you already have. If you’re fearful or wary of having your life ruined, it means you've got some vested interested in maintaining society the way it is. Think of that movie Falling Down – its almost like in our culture your either a business man or a criminal. And its your position that dictates your perspective – life for most people is just trying not to get dragged down into the shit. The perspective of someone on the bottom is that the people at the top belong at the bottom as well. And I mean, this isn't just some dumb band shooting their mouths off, this is kind of a major thing in the world I think. Think of movies, religions, politics, school, all that shit, its culture’s attempt to bait people upwards by people at the top. Buy a car, buy a house, get along with your neighbours, don’t do drugs, be a little concerned about the environment, all the good you do in a wretched system just keeps reproducing that system. People at the bottom only have the choice of trying to move up, or to try and wreck the system as a whole. And so being timid or afraid of the sick movement at the bottom, is just the attempt to keep the world the way it is. That’s why there is such a taboo even in like activist circles against violence, or hard drugs, or aggression, and shit like that, because in a large way, violence is one of those precious things that has yet to be recuperated and swallowed up by the dominant culture.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i><b>But isn't freedom one of those taboos too? That’s why to me it seems irresponsible to trade off freedom for participation in the “right” sort of culture.</b></i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i>But the trade-off happened a long time ago. Having the freedom to earn money and buy things, doesn't mean you have the freedom to survive without going to work, or not complicity have people working in sweatshops, or the freedom not to destroy the environment, or act out in any substantial way. The real irresponsible force at work is the culture trying to convince people that freedom IS taboo and untouchable, and that people have long enjoyed it. The only reason we feel safe is because there's been sort of a brand loyalty created between fear and comfort. You look at like the Nazis, who created a Fear and Furore division in their society – on one hand people were made to fear and hate some arbitrary elements of society, and to love and admire others, and it was really effective in whipping people into the frenzy. I think most social movements use this same sort of tactic with varying degrees of intensity – vilify and scapegoat your enemy, and make your goal righteous. So then think about what happens when the brands people start to swoon over are like, organic foods, or (more) violence, and chaos, then what happens?</i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i><b>Well how would you build a responsible way of life?</b></i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i>I want to be a yeoman. Thomas Jefferson’s concept of agrarian democracy, where every family compact gets a large plot of land and grew their food and that was that. Like Wendell Berry wrote “you cannot loose your land and remain free; if you keep your land you cannot be enslaved”.</i> (1)<br />

<b>Extract from Distort Zine Interview:</b><br />
<br />
<i>10,000 Marbles: I guess punk doesn’t really put much value on the actual music, because in the end punk is only a vehicle for things like music. Rather than being wholly about it.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <b><i>I think that shit is just a cop out so people don’t have to actually express anything interesting with their music or their ideas.</i></b><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i>10,000 Marbles: Well yeah. One thing we joked about a lot while we were mixing the record is how we hoped that Hidden World would "destroy punk". And then the other day I read a review about how the LP could be the "death knell of punk music".</i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i>10,000 Marbles: We always said "to truly become something you have to first destroy it". Like in The Matrix. And I mean, the way we idealized the record towards the end was like this massive atom bomb that we’d drop on punk as a whole and hope to destroy it completely, forever. I think going back to the first question, my revised answer is that I’d like to be remembered as the band that put an end to punk.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <b><i>Is this why No Pasaran led to Police led to Baiting? And the Baiting theme has been pretty consistent from then until HIDDEN WORLD?</i></b><br />
<b><i><br />
</i></b> <b><i>no pasaran = punk as fuck</i></b><br />
<b><i>police = an iconic take on punk as fuck (almost a joke?)</i></b><br />
<b><i>baiting = anti-punk as fuck</i></b><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i>10,000 Marbles: Baiting The Public was our ultimate punk statement. Baiting is supposed to describe our idealized version of what punk means. And yeah, the schedule of our releases sort of maps our cynicism.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <b><i>I mean, Baiting is basically about manipulating and fucking with people, controlling them, which is decidedly anti-punk to acknowledge.</i></b><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i>10,000 Marbles: Well I mean this politically correct conception of punk only materialized late in the game, I’d argue</i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i>Yeah… good point.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i>10,000 Marbles: I’d say if you could reconstruct it, "fucking with people" would be top of the list of what Punk is. I mean I’ve talked about this punk issue in a lot of interviews lately. My take is basically "punk" was created as a marketing ploy to sell abrasive records in the late 70s. And clothes. All this extra baggage got added way later. Like the politics, etc. None of that shit had anything to do with what it was meant to do in its inception. "Punk" I think was this label created to reel in this new and interesting subculture that had developed on its own. There were all these fucking crazy people, who existed within the history of crazy fucking wierdos, and all of a sudden they all became "punks", this unified mass instead of this fertile movement. And by giving it this name and this look, they were able to herd all these people towards whatever cultural symbols they wanted people to rally around.Which happened to be spiky clothes, being drunk, buying records and going to concerts. And I think it’s that simple. </i>(2)<br />

<b>Extract from Jagged Visions Zine Interview with David Eliade (2007?)</b><br />
<br />
<i>D: Soon I think media will be presented more along the lines of size rather than style – instead of buying an LP’s worth of music from your favourite band, you’ll buy a gigabyte’s worth, so we’re trying to get with that. It’s the whole indie-vertical-integration American Apparel style that is really taking, now you've got record companies that are getting into publishing and management, it’s like this disaster style economics where everyone is sensing this foreboding doom and trying to scoop up as much as they can before the bottom falls out. But ultimately Fucked Up is just a band. We tried to reference surrealism with Baiting the Public, but none of that kind of art really matters any more, things are too reversed to be able to make any sort of meaningful impact.</i> (3)<br />

<i>Probably my favourite sleeve that we've done. This was only our third 7" release, and we hadn't yet settled on the 7" layout template we use for all our singles now, with the titles on the top margin. Representing that, there are two different covers - one following the aforementioned template, and one with a bigger "Fucked Up" at the top in microgramma font (as opposed to Clarendon, which we use for everything now), and "Baiting the Public" on the bottom, representing maybe a last ditch attempt to go in a different direction. The front image is meant to be a metaphor for what we thought we were in punk, and what punk was in the world (we were really into punk at that point) - a pack of rats running over a proper looking young woman in bed. The inside was more to the heart of what this record was about, which was more or less a tribute to the Actionists, a radical art group in 1960s Austria. The inner picture depicts one of their "events" which is basically a naked man aiming a naked woman at a roomful of people. The Actionists, along with the Situationists, who were another big "influence" of ours at the time, were admired because of their blatant attempts to challenge and shock rather than pander to their audience. That's what Baiting the Public was meant to be - our small symbolic challenge to our listeners. The theme for the record went beyond just the art - we split the song into two so you had to flip the record over to hear the whole thing, and the lyrics were jumbled so you couldn't follow along. We were really into the idea of confrontation back then, and after the Police 7" was pretty well recieved, we sort of arrogantly already wanted to hit back with something a bit harder to digest.

Here's Walsby's artwork for the Nerd's Hidden World TP - the nerd loved it and thought it kind of made sense - the David Comes To Life 'mask supper' in the top right seemed particularly apt and the other song titles are on there and maybe the comic book layout was an Invisibles ref and the layout of central circular piece with radiating lines could have be something to do with the Sun - but what the hell was the angels bit in the bottom left about??<br />

When I was a boy, Fucked Up would release info / teasers for upcoming LPs in one <a href="http://lookingforgold.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">convenient place</a>. Nowadays, you have to scan multiple sites, picking up snippets like a lot of tasty aperitifs. That's great, but it's difficult to keep track of everything. I prefer things in the equivalent of a family bucket, with indigestible fries, (and pictures, obvs) so that's what this is.<br />

<i><br />
</i> <i>This album is about the freedom to live, to dream, and to make new dreams come alive in our real lives, which have been fed over to the forces of greed, social media, reification, consumerism, and social media. I can still remember when there were other dreams to be had. We read fantasies and history and the adventures of those who came before us, the failed romantic revolutions, and the struggles to make something different. I made this record to remind people that all those dreams are still up in the air, and that it’s up to any of us to grab one and make it real. You still get to have your own dreams and you still get to live your own life, in this era where social media and phones vie for our attention and take away all our time and put our emotions and relationships under lock and key and into shining little boxes, where we are more connected than ever, but more alone. Where we live in a world led by those so afraid that their only dream was to make money, and to make sure everyone had the same dream, those who would scold us, and make laws against us, and send us to work and to school, to shoot us and kill us and to lock us up and distract us, and kill us, forever. We remember other dreams, and we remember when living in other ways wasn’t just a dream. </i><a href="https://www.facebook.com/FUglassboys/photos/hi-were-back-sorry-for-the-wait-we-signed-to-merge-records-and-we-have-an-new-al/1789510674466478/" target="_blank">FUFB</a> Jul 23<br />

The drama unfolds like a miniature world of many parts being explored, a map being illuminated, location by location.<br />
As with David Comes to Life , there is a story here. David—who once came to life—is now indentured to a desk job. David meets the elderly Joyce who closes his eyes, opens his mind, and sends him on a spiritual journey. David embarks on his own metaphysical odyssey. He sees a stage adaptation of his own life. He speaks to an angel in a lightbulb. He sees an infinite series of universes as simulations within simulations. Meanwhile, Lloyd—Joyce’s lover—was sent, decades ago, by Joyce on the same odyssey, but was lost in the void. Lloyd seeks to be found and reunited with his lover. Where will David end up? Will Joyce and Lloyd be reunited?<br />
Dose Your Dreams—meaning: treat your dreams as you would a dream, allow yourself to be lost within them, allow them to open your heart and your mind, enjoy them as you would a drug. Reach out for my hand and pull me close. <a href="http://www.killbeatmusic.com/fuckedup" target="_blank">Owen Pallet</a> Aug 15<br />
<br />
Dose Your Dreams covers -- take a deep breath -- time traveling, anarchy, simulation universe theory, love, existential doubt, self-sabotage, suicidal urges and inescapable corporate culture.<br />
“That's the Dose Your Dreams thing. Everybody has a dream of how the world should work, and certain people and certain companies make their dreams come true,” Haliechuk opines. “Unfortunately, the people that try the hardest to make things happen, it seems their only dreams are about making money and selling things to you.” <a href="https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/8469947/fucked-up-normal-people-dose-your-dreams" target="_blank">Billboard</a> Aug 15<br />

<b>“Raise Your Voice Joyce”</b><b>, </b>the first single from their fifth studio album, the sprawling <b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulysses_(novel)" target="_blank">odyssey</a></b> Dose Your Dreams. The A-side, an exclusive single mix of the album track, concerns Fucked Up’s perennial hero David as he encounters the revolutionary sorcerer <b>Joyce</b> Tops, set to an incendiary Buzzcocks-inspired stormer that features backup vocals by Jen Calleja of Sauna Youth. The B-side of the 7-inch is a cover of Anna Meredith’s “Taken.” <a href="https://www.mergerecords.com/raise-your-voice-joyce-bw-taken" target="_blank">Merge</a><br />

Part of the new album’s narrative is depicted in the music video for <b>“Normal People,”</b>...<br />
Featuring Haliechuk as a supermarket-browsing clown, drummer Jonah Falco as a businessman in a fruit-and-sausage-strewn bathtub (a reference to The Who Sell Out, not the bathtub bacon from Gummo) and septuagenarian fashion model Judith Maria Bradley as central character Joyce Tops, the motley music video mirrors the album’s breathtaking stylistic diversity, which goes from snarling punk to dream pop to full-on dance music with the title track. <a href="https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/8469947/fucked-up-normal-people-dose-your-dreams" target="_blank">Billboard</a> Aug 15<br />

<b>Jellicoe & Woodbury* 'Fear b/w Doubt': </b>The dogs snarl without mercy or respite offering soaring solos, a bleak outlook, a big bass tone and pummelling drums. Over exhilarating guitar density and hoarse bark, Jellicoe and Woodbury chase, dismantle, and advocate obliteration of mankind.<br />
Jellicoe and Woodbury are the twin dogs of Doubt and Fear, a poetic interpretation of James <b>Joyce</b>’s 'Ulysses', where dogs seemingly are ready to attack at any moment, based on Joyce’s well known fear of dogs. Doubt and Fear channel 'Ulysses' through a Bastard ‘Wind of Pain’ like lens. These self-created monsters use capitalism to keep us afraid to really move forward in life, and scared to connect with each other. They chase us back and 'breath down our neck’. Recorded in Toronto by some weathered but familiar statues in the Toronto punk community. To compliment the style, as well as the in depth and swirling world of these characters... <a href="https://qualitycontrolhq.bandcamp.com/album/fear-b-w-doubt" target="_blank">Quality Control HQ</a> Sept 11<br />

*Jellicoe & Woodbury must (I thought) be a reference to some female <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Jellicoe" target="_blank">artist</a> or <a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Helen-Laura-Sumner-Woodbury" target="_blank">activist</a>, but rather than confusing things further with random speculation, I decided to ask someone in the know: Ola runs Quality Control HQ and fronts <a href="https://qualitycontrolhq.bandcamp.com/album/who-will-play" target="_blank">Game</a>, backed up by Jonah on drums... I asked her for the facts: <i>"The name Jellicoe and Woodbury comes from an intersection of two streets in the west of Toronto where two large dogs, Rhodesian Ridgebacks - a breed of dog bred for hunting and killing lions - lived in a friends house many years ago. These dogs terrified Mike from FU as a child. The dogs were mostly friendly and just curious even though they were this snarling violent breed used to kill the most fearsome thing in Africa - one lets their own fear of dogs dictate their relationship with these creatures. The names Jellicoe and Woodbury are the formal names of Doubt and Fear in the world of this story."</i></blockquote>

<b>"Raise Your Voice Joyce" (The recurring and much loved 12" comp namesaked by a 7")</b><br />
"Contemporary shouts from contemporary voices charting a small piece of the limitless history of women in revolt. Eight tracks; each one a history; a story; a biography, told through disparate styles, from early anarcho punk and UK82 to DIY snapshots of goth crossover – all bound together to cement an activated and radical disruption vita. Joyce is the revolting woman; a constant of history. Contributions from members of today’s UK and European punk scenes (Nekra, Good Throb, Arms Race, Sauna Youth, Terrible Feelings and more), RYVJ is a command, a demand and a well-spoken message for tomorrow." <a href="http://staticshockrecords.limitedrun.com/products/623349-v-a-raise-your-voice-joyce-lp-pre-order" target="_blank">Static Shock</a><br />

<a href="https://www.mergerecords.com/superchunk-release-new-single-our-work-is-done">Superchunk’s Mac McCaughan on their latest benefit single:</a><br />
<br />
“Our Work Is Done” is an imaginary conversation between the last two living residents of a hot and dying planet. Damian Abraham from the band Fucked Up lends his gravitas to the situation. “Total Eclipse” is a song about a different kind of holocaust, originally performed by Klaus Nomi. When I saw the film Urgh! A Music War, the Nomi clip blew my mind. I didn’t know what to make of him or the performance. Truly a unique artist trying to convey the urgency of several emergencies at once.<br />
<br />
<br />
The news these days is overwhelming, and sometimes it’s hard to focus on the larger issues we are all collectively facing. Climate change is transforming the world in dangerous ways and requires immediate action. The proceeds from the single will go to Bill McKibben’s 350.org, and we stand by them as they build the global grassroots climate movement that can hold our leaders accountable to the realities of science and the principles of justice.<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>"Hear this: When our masters' work is done, every living thing will have the status of a machine. There will be no creativity, only productivity.

We will replace contact with isolation, and <a href="https://fuckedup.bandcamp.com/track/joy-stops-time" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>joy</b> </span></a>with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept.

<i>Dolly Dream dwell in a cryptic space where love meets danger, and where enigmatic song can lead one to ecstasy or onto more ambiguous terrain. The dark and dreamy "The Way To Heaven" could be a lost classic from a sock hop in a David Lynch film. Featuring a stellar, heart-tugging vocal performance, the effect is rather like a ballad from a young Brenda Lee or Wanda Jackson. It's the song that made them fall in love. Says Dolly: "It's hard to make an honest love song. What's the most honest thing? Death. Lovers don’t wanna think about Death. Yearning is the flip side of mourning. Yearning is the feeling of some future ghost. Dolly Dream is the sound of that ghost." </i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>On the AA side we find an altogether more forbidding sonic journey. "Slip Thru Hell" is a phantasmal soundscape of backwards vocals, tape manipulation and near impenetrable noise. At once scarifying and compelling, there's a siren-like song straining to get out -- will you unblock your ears to hear it?</i></div>

Thanks To Seamus for letting us know about is Hidden World 'Mixed Press' variant... This is a combination of 1st press (monochrome label) and 2nd (coloured label) discs, packaged in a 2nd press sleeve...<br />

<br />
The record came from a distro sometime around 2010-2011, so it's unclear if the two were put together by Deranged to use up the last of the 1st press vinyl, or if the distro stores their records and sleeves separately and muddled things up. We're calling it a variant for the time-being, because we like variants.<br />

<br />
Weirdos wondering about apparent Ulysses references in blurb accompanying recent FU releases will probably also note the following:<br />
<br />
<i>Jellicoe and Woodbury are the twin dogs of Doubt and Fear, a poetic interpretation of James Joyce’s 'Ulysses', where dogs seemingly are ready to attack at any moment, based on Joyce’s well known fear of dogs. Doubt and Fear channel 'Ulysses' through a Bastard ‘Wind of Pain’ like lens. These self-created monsters use capitalism to keep us afraid to really move forward in life, and scared to connect with each other. They chase us back and 'breath down our neck’.</i><br />
<br />
<br />
Also, this is true:<br />
<br />
<i>"The name Jellicoe and Woodbury comes from an intersection of two streets in the west of Toronto where two large dogs, Rhodesian Ridgebacks - a breed of dog bred for hunting and killing lions - lived in a friends house many years ago. These dogs terrified Mike from FU as a child. The dogs were mostly friendly and just curious even though they were this snarling violent breed used to kill the most fearsome thing in Africa - one lets their own fear of dogs dictate their relationship with these creatures. The names Jellicoe and Woodbury are the formal names of Doubt and Fear in the world of this story."</i></div>

Now this might, or might not make the first part of the next question redundant, but he doesn't answer it anyway, so just skip to the boldfaced second part below and the interview will join up neatly, keeping things concise, so you don't have to read a lot of pointless, time-wasting, small-space-filling words, all in the same font, with just one tiny little word of <span style="font-size: xx-small;">joy. </span></blockquote>

Myself: A mysterious 80’s punk compilation just appeared on Static Shock Records. It’s reminiscent of David’s Town, but has a different emphasis; the ‘revolting woman, a constant through history’. So, in terms of FU history, is it safe to say that the ‘Mother Forever' 12” marks a significant change / development in FU content, in much the same way as ‘Looking For Gold’?</div>

Anyway, this is meant to be a discography, not an inane personal blog. I'd better add some more relevant nerdy stuff, like these two below. The record on the left is an 'epics in minutes', the one on the right is the 'baiting the public' (with epics labels), but it's got a picture sleeve. I've seen a few of these with different epics sleeves, the dust jackets aren't numbered, but they otherwise look the same as the real thing. Maybe they should be called fakes, but I own a couple so am calling them 'variants'.</blockquote>

Your music often generates the sound of things that might not otherwise sound - obvious examples are The Sun shimmering in “No Epiphany”, the motion of the serpent and the moment after death in “Year of The Snake”, the Dragon (obvs Dragons do make sound, but they allegedly don’t exist so it’s the same thing) - <b>is ‘Tower of Time’ going to sound exactly like a real tower of time,</b> or is it more of a four-to-the-floor banger about urban planning?<br />
<br />
<i>One of us made a typo - its tower ON time. have you seen the movie High Rise, based on the ballard book?</i><br />
<br />
(That's a kind and gentle way of pointing my out my mistake, but I'd still like to hear a tower of time.)<br />

In other news, here's a Jonah Falco (email) interview I did for UK premier punk zine <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pullthetriggerzine/" target="_blank">PULL THE TRIGGER</a>. It has a bit of a UK vs Canada theme and brings us right up to (a) date (June 2016) with his various projects, together with his views on The Queen, drugs and porn. I've added some pics of skinheads to tie the whole thing together.<br />

Hey Jonah, Toronto was under British rule until the 1980’s, it’s surrounded on three sides by American States and you’re part Italian, (i.e a Roman). Which is your favourite failed / moribund empire, which of the three contemporary cultures do you have a greater affinity with and which is currently closest to having you imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever?<br />

<i>My favourite moribund empire was the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanseatic_League" target="_blank">Hanseatic League</a> – which was hardly an empire. More like a group of trading partners like a Baltic proto-EU merchant's guild. I think I identify with my Italian side the most, despite feeling confident and comfortable in England, from where I also have ancestry. As far as boots kicking my lid in, you know it's England. Italy is much more subtly repressive than a boot tread. </i></div>

Do Canadians have an annual celebration commemorating May 1982, the end of British rule, like they do for Independence Day in America? Or did no one notice the change?<br />
<br />
<i>We actually celebrate Victoria Day in May, in honour of the Queen's birthday, which is just about the least commemorative gesture of independence. Everyone is comfortable with the tethers gone, but basically </i><i>we pretend to have things in common with England, while taking the vast majority of our cultural cues from the States. Once I took my wife to a place called The Duke of York – an “English” pub with a nice beer garden in Toronto -- where she asked for a packet of crisps with our first round. Not only did the proceeding argument about what was a chip and a crisp was unfold, but when the discovery of no packets of crisps was revealed, she unwaveringly (albeit sarcastically) demanded they take the graphic of the Union Jack off of their menu, until their inability to understand “top bants” eventually saw them send the manager out to buy us a round of drinks. He was Welsh and extended his own frustrations to us to help diffuse the situation “They put fish sauce in Salad Cream! Why!?” </i><br />

Nobody in the UK remembers much about it; all attention at the time was focused on invading the Falklands and putting ‘it’ up the Argies. During the same month, THE SMITHS formed and later signed to Rough Trade, some band wrote a song about sheep farming, the Hacienda opened and there was something called UK82 happening. As a 12 year-old, I remember the Falklands, but was more into Iron Maiden than anything else and completely missed all the other stuff… Were you even alive in 1982? Do you remember first learning about the events, and which if any had the greatest impact or influence on you? </div>

I was born in 1982, so I don't remember the Falklands as they happened at all. I learned about the Falklands through the second hand information of parents' friends and the passage of time....and probably the Simpsons, and then punk. There has been, of course, the recent era of England-porn in cinema and television in which we have become accustomed to re-living the most economically and emotionally deprived eras of recent working class history through cement-hued glasses and the pastiche of youth cults and dresscodes. Now we're all experts. </i><br />

British punks love the Royal Family and have been singing about THE Queen for going on 40 years. Canada got out of the British Empire back in the days of RUSH, but THE Queen is still your monarch, do Canadian Punks write songs about that and can you give us a list of the top 3 Canadian Punk songs about our monarch? If there aren’t any, why is that and are you going to write one?<br />

<i>The most iconic punk song about the Queen from Canada is by The Queen Haters and the song is called “I Hate the Bloody Queen.” If there is a current Canadian punk band writing about the Queen, then I am unaware of it. She's just on our banknotes, not in our brains. I feel like punk lyrics that aren't about the broadest objects of hatred and frustration (authority or war for example) get inversely spun in to this dialogue about self hatred or self doubt, wherein the place which you're supposed to have an outlet to blame the faceless forces that make your mind and body sick, ends up encouraging you to blame yourself. </i></div>

I read somewhere that all Torontonians will be given basic universal income. Are you living in a Socialist Utopia under Justin Trudeau? His father was a former Prime Minister, so is Justin Trudeau a right-wing leftie like Hilary Clinton, a proper leftie like Jeremy Corbyn, or a domestic-extremist leftie like Mahatma Ghandi? </div>

It's an experiment they're messing around with for people at a certain income level in Ontario only (not just Toronto). Nice thing to imagine, but I have trouble believing our government will follow through beyond a brief period of dangling a few carrots. Who can say. Trudeau seems like a right wing leftie – privileged guy, has the right ideas, but ultimately knows he's playing “the game” and will likely betray the public in some way. Hard to say, though. Definitely not a duffle coat wearing 'proper leftie' a la Corbyn.</i><br />

<b>Pt 3: Touring the World</b><br />
<br />
You’ve managed to visit a lot of countries, touring and playing gigs – these include the USA, Russia, France, Germany, Spain, Iceland, Australia, Brazil, Japan and China. Never mind them, when did you first play in the UK? Do you have any abiding memories of that to share? Was it your first time over here, or had you visited much before that?<br />
<br />
<i> Technically the first time I played in the UK was in 1996 or 1997, I went over on a school trip to play in a brass band (NB I just typo'd brass as “Crass” but corrected it) at a competition in Harrogate, York, Bath, Edinburgh, and Glasgow. </i><br />

<i>I was billeted with an older couple in Harrogate, who I had a great deal of trouble understanding at the time (I can now kind of confidently 'do' a Yorkshire accent), and every morning they asked me if I wanted a “Yokka.” I always declined, until later I found they were offering me Yogurt. I had a Black Flag (the bug spray) polo shirt that I wore everyday, which I could pass off as the band cause my classmates were clueless, though I was mocked mercilessly for liking a band with a song called “Tea Party” (TV Party, arseholes). I was routinely able to be served alcohol in most any pub I went in to. Pints were £1.10, and I got drunk a lot during the day before rehearsals, telling everyone about Black Flag. One night we went out drinking in Glasgow and went in to what I know now was a Working Man's club (had no clue what we were getting in to). The sole patrons, a table of grizzly, tar covered men in high viz jackets seemed to offer no kindness or welcome to the three of us. After going to the bar a few times and struggling with a Glaswegian accent (d'yeez want ehnehhang? “um, pint of bitter and a coca cola” ehneh ace whi'tha? “uh no ace” no ace...ACE. “right, no ace” chryssakes ya daft waen (points to ice)...ACE “ahh ICE. Yes please”). Anyway at some point the workmen in high viz start to really give us the evil eye and one of them who has a jerrycurl and popeye arms and a gold tooth comes over to the table and stands over us. “REET. ARE YOU'Z GONNEH EVEN PUT EHNEHHENG ON'T STEREO?” – at this point we realized we were sitting in front of the jukebox – we said, oh no, please go ahead. “GOODHE” With a solid and terrifying plunk, the pound coin hitting the bottom of the jukebox shattered the silence in the pub, only second in volume to the song that followed, which was a screaming loud version of Achey Breakey Heart. The workmen stood up and starting shouting along at the top of their lungs in a deep and honest Glaswegian accent, dancing in a circle, and pointing at our table. We finished our pints and strolled back to the motel unscathed, but not unchanged.</i><br />

How did the first Fucked UP UK tour get set up? How did you make contacts here to get things arranged? Did you know Paco mus, Tom Ellis and Fat Bob back then and were they involved, or was it someone else?<br />

The first UK tour was organised by Jase Kilvo of Wallasey. I don't believe there was any previous connection to Jase prior to him asking us to come over, and that likely he just offered to set up a tour and we said yes. Along the way on that trip I believe we met Ellis, and on subsequent tours, we'd be working with Tom directly on gigs and playing with his bands. Buy basically Jase is our sole origin story to our now loving UK family. Our first show was in Liverpool at Quiggins. We slept in the van near the Tate for a few hours before wandering around town. My first impression was “everyone in this town wants to kick the shit out of me.”</i><br />

Tom set up the two CAREER SUICIDE gigs in London last year and he put on the recent LONELY WHOLESOME one. Was that like old times, compared to the last few years of globetrotting with FUCKED UP?<br />

Tom's CS gigs bridged the gap between the old days and my life of the silver spoon with FU. He did everything perfectly and made us weekend warriors feel like real punks. Kind of like that movie The Game with Michael Douglas. Tom is a massive force on the international hc punk scene, and he and many of his cohorts understand how to go about 'nation building' in the relatively small scale but immensely meaningful world of diy music.</i></div>

<i><br /></i>
How easy it is for European DIY punk bands to tour Canada? I heard a while ago that there were some kind of customs changes that have made it almost impossible, I forget the details, do you know about that?<br />
<br />
<i>Actually quite the opposite. There were previously odd financial regulations placed on touring bands coming in to Canada, but my understanding is that they were recently repealed and that it also wouldn't likely affect a small scale band that much anyway. There's an easy way for bands to play in Canada legally, and it's free. We want you all.</i><br />
<br />
One last UK-related question: I saw you’ve been credited for Engineering on the two <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=60&v=Q7Wm86ZvvyE" target="_blank"><b>DiE</b> </a>7”s how did that come about? Those two records have been well received over here, can you put us onto a few of the Canadian bands you’ve done similar duties for?<br />
<br />
<i>Tim and I have been friends for a long time (same era as knowing Tom) and he liked the way my hc recordings sounded. I was over in London for a month or something and he up and asked me to do it. I brought my eight track to London wrapped in a jumper and tucked in to my suitcase, and the rest is a film of sweat on the wall of Audio Underground (rip). I have recorded a big number of bands from Toronto and beyond – most recently i've been at the helm/been a part of great sounding recordings for <b><a href="https://triageheshlords.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">TRIAGE,</a> <a href="https://siyahkalpunk.bandcamp.com/album/sagzani-demo" target="_blank">SIYAHKAL</a> </b>(one of my faves since the DiE recordings), THE OMEGAS, and the DILLETANTES.</i><br />

Some of the music you’re credited on is described as psychedelic. Is it an ongoing part of that mind control thing that Fucked Up was experimenting with? Do you study the theory behind the beats that best induce hypnotic states, or do you just play until something happens? As a long term FU consumer, should I worry that I think my mind has been altered? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>I am having trouble answering this question honestly, whatever that leads you to believe. The music, anyway, is written from the perspective of what works for a song, not what works for making people feel weird like a magic trick. As a long term FU consumer, you should absolutely be certain your mind has been altered.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
I got the impression that drugs (other than real ale), are not an integral part of your life? Maybe you’re a secret opium eater? Does music fill a space in your soul that other people might fill with drugs? Does it provide a form of self-medication? Do you have anything approaching a transcendent experience while making or listening to music? Or do you just like having an excuse not to do a proper job?<br />
<br />
<i>I have had almost equally transcendent experiences playing music as I have with any substance. I am slightly exaggerating, but i'm not sure if my mind and body are just soft and pink at their essence thus making me really sensitive to little vibrations in mood, feeling, physiology, or if i'm magic Jesus but I have had some pretty unconventional experiences whilst playing stone sober. For the record I love having an excuse not to do a proper job (easy there, Nigel Farage ;).</i><br />

MADMEN: Your solo hardcore project. If I say ‘80’s Italian hardcore’, ‘art films’ and ‘string vests ‘ in one sentence, does it sound like I know what I’m talking about?

<i>Actually that's a pretty tidy summary that I wouldn't swat down. The Mad Men vibe was about self limitation and the futility of anger. Being furious didn't lead me anywhere except to still being furious, so I set a self destruct (will only play ten times) and decided to only exist on a plane of uselessness (tapes and comps and a sturdy ceiling) the same way screaming into the void does. You kind of feel better, but no one is listening, and if they are listening, they just feed your own helplessness back to you. Kind of a poisonous mindset, but I guess it does some good. I broke my own rules obv and made a record and played probably more than 10 shows because i'm vain and weak. In the tradition of being useless, also, we will be playing another show very soon.</i><br />

PAVILION: You’re a member of this new post-punk four piece. I love the demo from last year; it reminds me of something from the Trainspotting soundtrack. The band has released another couple of cassettes recently, can people get physical copies from anywhere without visiting Toronto? Are there any plans for a LP?<br />
<br />
<i>Thanks – you can buy tapes on our bandcamp and someone will mail them to you. Iffy at Static Shock in Berlin has/had some copies, and i'm about to mail a few to a friend in Stockholm. He might hook you up if you dutifully ask every Swede you meet nicely until you find him. We're going in to the studio tomorrow to record 4 new songs. From that point onward it's anybody's guess what's in store for this group.

<i>Smartboys (one word) has been working on an LP for almost FIVE YEARS now. It's been recorded three times over (demos which I recorded, a version done at a 4AD company studio in London, and now a version crammed into an afternoon at a studio in Michigan.

FUCKED UP: Your Pink-Crass-Floyd thing, currently on hiatus while Damian’s on paternity leave, but it’s a Fucked Up kind of hiatus and you’ve managed to release around 2 hours of Damienless music, including a proper opera, a double LP film soundtrack and a 30 minute ambient piece. Some of the band has also been involved in a weird opera performance “Metallurgy” and you and Mike wrote a piece for a computer game.

<i>Really enjoying contextualizing FU as my “Pink-Crass-Floyd thing” on this list like it's just some other project haha. Also, Pink Crass Floyd is kind of the greatest band in theory? I think that band might be Hawkwind or May Blitz or something anyway. Musically the product is not punk, and it's so far flung through the fabric of the music universe that even if we wrote our operas and Rice Krispies jingles based on Missbrukarna riffs it would be hard to justify any of it as a punk gesture in any literal way. All I can say is that perhaps being “punk” is in some large part about accepting and overcoming unlikely or ludicrous challenges, and that's what Fucked Up has always done. For us, and specifically Mike and I, who work together on these outsider things, lots of those challenges are based on completing projects that we have no business starting in the first place. This has been the ethos of FU all along.</i><br />
<br />
Any idea on when there might be another FU release with Damian on it? What happened to the live record that Third Man were due to press, is there any news on the release date for the MIND ERASER split? Have you seen David Eliade recently and is he a Shaman?<br />
<br />
<i>Just recorded the music for the Mind Eraser split, Year of the Snake is coming SOON, and Damian is front and centre on that. Third Man live record is a mystery at the mo, and David is elsewhere, indefinitely.</i><br />

CAREER SUICIDE: The new LP has been recorded I believe, is there any news on when we can hear it? Does it have a name? Will you be touring the UK with it? Will you visit East Anglia and have <a href="https://thedomestics.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">THE DOMESTICS </a>as main support at the McGinty’s Arena in Ipswich and/or the Owl Sanctuary Stadium in Norwich?<br />
<br />
<i>The new CS LP has been done and mastered for AGES but we're struggling to put artwork together. The album is called “Machine Response” – we will definitely be coming to the UK, I hope to play with the MOD CONS, and we will no doubt end up playing Weston-Super-Mare.</i><br />
<br />
LONELY WHOLESOME: Your other solo project, where you write, play and record everything. You’ve released a handful of tracks, which I’d describe as different shades of psychedelic pop and garage –I’m better at listening to music than describing it – and I enjoy listening to these very much, but they’re over too soon, will you get around to doing an LP?<br />

Latest effort, which is six songs on a 12” record, is due really soon. It is another recording that has been sadly sitting around for more than a year, waiting to be properly finished etc, but i'm very excited to get it out in the world. If only for selfishly self satisfying reasons.<br />
</i>I came to your debut show, but got there late and only caught the last song and a half. It seemed like it went down well with the crowd, how was it for you? I think I recognised two of your band members, can you tell us who was playing the other instruments and did you get to practice with them much beforehand?<br />
<br />
<i>It went down alright I think. It's a constant daydream on stage that you can do what your bandmates do as well as they can, and it was a great challenge to actually have to face an audience and play some completely new songs in a totally different style while SINGING. Nothing was 'perfect' about our performance – the band consisted of people that had never played together before, had only heard the songs a few weeks in advance, and we only really had one full band practice with me there – but I think the whole idea of the generosity of your friends to do you musical favours, and the generosity of the punk audience to try experience music at a 1:1 ratio (you made it, I heard it, that's all) made it feel and land pretty well. I have away most of the 45s I had, and sold some to Tome Records for a few pounds each, so go get em cheap! <br />
<br />
The band was Rich from Sauna Youth, Mary Ann the Bayonettes, Dangerloves, etc from Toronto – currently a Londoner, and Ralph from No, DiE, Satellites of Love, etc etc etc. All powerful musicians who helped make this cool thing happen with me.</i><br />

“Vanity” & “Lethargy” are a great pairing; the vocals are low down in the mix, and work as part of the music rather than something you could sing along too. In fact I can barely make out the words and you seem to have forgotten to include lyrics. Do you consider yourself vain and lethargic? Are you exorcising some Demons here, or just working through the seven deadly sins?<br />
<br />
<i>Short answer is yeah, i'm vain and lethargic or at least I feel that way. But the larger idea is that this person, Lonely Wholesome, has really typical problems that are easily solved, but are always foiled by these grand gestures of self sabotage and contradiction. Like, laziness isn't a clinical affliction or anything, but the mythology behind lethargy and ideologically nodding off is vast and pretty, so I decide to go there instead, using mythology to explain being inactive. “Vanity” wrote itself, really, and it's perfect as an act of self sabotage (Narcissus dies looking at his reflection forever). The rest of the lyrics in LW are kind of love songs and expressions of extreme doubt. An inverse of the futility of the Mad Man.</i><br />

“Who Killed Anna” does have lyrics, artwork and a brief statement, it’s about Anna Politkovskaya, the Russian journalist and human rights activist who was openly murdered in 2006. Please how you came to be inspired to write the song. Please also tell us about the evil vampire image on the record labels, is it part of a bigger piece? Who was the artist? He has a Union Jack hat, I guess that’s your way of expressing allegiance to the motherland?<br />
<br />
<i>I first read about Anna Politkovskaya shortly after she died, there after I read her books and became really interested in what she was achieving as a journalist, and the places she had managed to imbed herself ideologically and geographically. She is an inspiring person, and her story is so incredible I thought it worthy of a song. Sadly, that song is on a kind of impossible to find 12” acetate that will never come out again ha. The $2 reason also is that I thought it was a great sounding diy punk song – some kind of semi relevant, international, but obscure public figure whose death is politically questionable. Sounded like something that a UK DIY band might have sang about (to me). <br />
<br />
The Art on the label was taken from some article in the economist that i'd cut out years ago as a bookmark for a then unknown destination. I can't even remember what the article was about (the image is of “Death” wearing a shroud made of the Union Jack, the Stars and Stripes, The Chinese Flag, and maybe a Russian Motif too?) but the image is supposed to make reference to many nations wanting Anna dead for her challenges against the status quo of the echo chamber of rhetoric in conflict zones.</i><br />
<br />
<br />
I was going to finish by asking about your use of the internet and social media and your various old blogs, but instead can you name a book or two that you think could change the world in a good way, if enough people read it, or if that’s too lofty then maybe a book or two you’d recommend for reading on a long journey.<br />
<br />
<i>The books that i've been reading likely won't change the world. But recently I very much enjoyed Clarice Lispector's “Near To the Wild Heart” and Jonathan Meades' “Pompey.” I currently have a stack of unread books on my bedside table which I glance at mockingly every night before I fall unconscious almost instantly after I check my email for about ten minutes. </i><br />

The preceding interview was done in 2016, I was going to put it on here sooner but got distracted. Since the original publication Jonah has moved permanently to the UK, released all the records he mentions (except Smart Boys) is doing a PhD in sound engineering or something. Jonah lives on a boat, like ratty in Wind in the Willows and those Germans in Das Boot.<br />
<br />
He's also taking part in a UK / Spanish hardcore band, they sound like this:<br />

This show was recorded onto one-inch 8-track tape in front of lucky-to-get-a-ticket crowds. The 8-track master is mixed to 2-track tape at Third Man Studio and that tape is then used to cut the vinyl master, thus ensuring the recording remains in the analog domain the entire time and is never transferred to a digital signal. </div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">With limited-edition, split-color, black-and-blue vinyl versions of the LP only available to attendees of the show.
