Lex vs. Scott Interview (Complete) (Almost)

2010-01-20T02:11:00.003-05:00

Lex Dover interviews Scott Wishart (Lunchbox Records) for All Killer:

LD: Who do you think you are?
SW: Uh, I think I’m Scott.

LD: Is that right?
SW:I hope so. But I don’t know, I could be someone else. I could be dreaming and thinking that I’m Scott but really I’m another person and this is just a really big dream. I really don’t know. Or I could be dead and this could be the afterlife and I could be reincarnated as someone else and I could still not be Scott.

LD: So, what hot new bands are you into?
SW: You know, A Hero A Fake.

LD: What is it that you like about school and maybe that you don’t like about your parents?
SW: What do I like about school? That I don’t go to it anymore. What was the second part?

LD: And maybe what you don’t like about your parents…
SW: My mom likes to touch everything and my dad sometimes is a bit bigoted.

LD: I’ve been to your house and seen your music collection. You own a record store, so tell me- Is music your passion?
SW: No. Fruit is my passion.

LD: Fruit?
SW: Alright, passion fruit.

LD: Are you guys hiring right now?
SW: Did you get this shit from our website?

LD: No.
SW: No!

LD: Do you give out applications anyway when people come in and ask?
SW: I should for my own humor, but no I don’t because I keep saying I’m going to make one with the most ridiculous questions ever just so I can read them later and laugh… But I don’t want to be that big of a dick.

LD: A little birdie told me you recorded some drums for the Red House Painters a few years back. Which album are you on and which tracks?
SW: I’m on the album they just reissued, Songs for A Blue Guitar. I’m on the first song on there. Yeah, I play on “Have You Forgotten.”

LD: Just that one song?
SW: Yeah, just that one song.

LD: Is punk rock for all ages or just for children?
SW: I think it’s for all ages.

LD: What are your biggest pet peeves?
SW: How much tape do you have? Pet peeves about what? You have to narrow this down, I have a lot of pet peeves.

LD: I don’t know…
SW: People that walk around all day sipping coffee cups.

LD: Coffee cups?
SW: Yeah, you know they never finish the coffee. Those people. They always have a cup of coffee, they never finish. That’s like someone who nurses a beer. They just never finish. People who don’t use turn signals. People who talk on their cell phone in line at the bank or when I’m ringing them up in here.

LD: That’s pretty much what I was looking for.
SW: There’s millions more.

LD: But those are probably the biggest ones.
SW: Not necessarily. The only ones I can think of off the top of my head… People who say “vinyls.”

LD: Vinyls? What do you mean? Like “Hey, I’m gonna bring some vinyls in to have you look at them?”
SW: Yeah. (laughs)

LD: So have you had any close calls lately?
SW: Close calls with…

LD: Just in general. Any close calls.
SW:… No. No, I can’t think of anything.

LD: Where’s your God now Scott?
SW: My God?

LD: Yes. That would have been a better follow up question if you’d had some close calls.
SW: Oh, oh…

LD: You didn’t have any but I ‘m still going to go ahead and ask you… Where your God is?
SW: He’s at the Chinese place making my food.

LD: Alright. Who do you need when you come undone?
SW: What are these all like fucking song lyrics? I need that God that’s at the Chinese restaurant.

LD: So did you know that was a Duran Duran reference?
SW: No, I didn’t. But I do know this- (Starts singing and humming “Hungry Like A Wolf.”

LD: Are you a very political person?
SW: Uh, not super duper. I think I’m normal.

LD: Have you ever considered running for office?
SW: No!

LD: Have you ever fired a real gun before?
SW: A real gun, no.

LD: Me neither. So what’s your favorite record?
SW: I don’t believe in favorites because favoritism breeds jealousy. I don’t like to choose favorites because the others will feel unwanted and unneeded and they wouldn’t live in harmony with each other and I wouldn’t want to exclude others and make them feel left out and what might be a favorite today might change tomorrow and that might not be my favorite and I have different moods and feelings depending on the day of the week and sometimes within the same minute. I might be bipolar, I don’t know, but it could just be that I like lots of music so I don’t like to choose favorites because favorites is a favor for it and it’s not a favor where there is no flavor.

LD: I’m getting this word for word. This is some gold right here… So what’s up with that place upstairs from you guys? It seems kind of shady.
SW: PASS

LD: If you were going to break veg what food would you choose?
SW: Chicken Mcnuggets… The one time I did eat meat, and this was probably only about six months after I became a vegetarian, was chicken Mcnuggets. And that was like a zillion years ago.

LD: Where the Wild Things Are?
SW: I believe they’re at the AMC tonight at 8.

LD: Who’s the boss?
SW: Well they say his name is uh… What’s his name? Uh…

LD: Tony Danza?
SW: Yeah they say it’s him but really I think it’s Alyssa Milano.

LD: What is your least favorite local band? And you can’t say one that you’re in.
SW: Planet Piss.

LD: You’re in Planet Piss.
SW: No I just quit… C’mon I can’t answer that.

LD: Where’d the name Lunchbox come from?
SW: You know Marylin Manson right? Lunchbox something or other. It’s something about lunchboxes and I like it so much that I can’t remember it but I named my store after it. And I really like to eat.

LD: Who do you blame for the economy?
SW: Pat McCrory.

LD: Me too. Do you believe in space aliens?
SW: No, I only believe in terrestrial aliens because I don’t think aliens themselves could survive in space, they would have to live on a planet.

LD: …Okay.
SW: Gotcha!

LD: Do you believe that have been to our planet?
SW: Sure, why not.

LD: I think so too. I want to see that 4th kind movie. What do you think we should about Jake Delhomme?
SW: I don’t know who that is. Sorry.

LD: Am I suspended in gaffa?
SW: Possibly? Is that some sex thing?

LD: Are you strong enough to be my man?
SW: Why do you keep asking me about these masturbatory references? Am I strong enough to be your man? I don’t know, let’s arm wrestle and find out.

(We did not arm wrestle.)

LD: What time is bedtime?
SW: I don’t know, you know. Time to squash a dime. Time to suck a lime. Time to bust a rhyme. Time to kill a mime.

LD: Alright. Well, thank you.
SW: You’re welcome sir.

Hey everyone,

My good friends Prince Rama of Ayodhya had all of the gear stolen in Philly the other night. They're great people and a great band and this is really heartbreaking. Below is a list of gear. I ask anyone in the Philadelphia area to keep an eye out for these items in pawnshops around town, probably for the next few months.

Also, I've been asked to look around for replacements, so if anyone has any of this equipment that they are looking to sell, please get in touch and I will put you in touch with Prince Rama.

They're also looking for donations towards new gear. Anyone who can spare anything is asked to donate via paypal at this link:

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=9046552

Thanks so much. If all of you could forward this message on that would be great!

Prince Rama Gear List:
microkorg
yamaha keyboard
behringer 4 input mixer
boss reverb/delay pedal
pearl distortion pedal
ibanez delay pedal
korg tuner pedal
gibson epiphone

UPDATE FOR MONDAY'S SHOW:

2009-10-18T19:33:00.001-04:00

From Kinnikinnik:

Monday October 19
1212 10th St
930 pm

WHITE HINTERLAND, from Portland, is pop from another world. Led by nuanced chanteuse Casey Dienel, sometimes they sing entirely in French, sometimes playing Serge Gainsbourg covers, sometimes spooky wilderness lovin’ jams. No matter their bend for a particular performance, it’s always enthralling. They are on Dead Oceans records, the label of Akron Family, Dirty Projectors, Califone, Phosphorescent, Bowerbirds, etc.

MEMBERS OF THE SEA is a group of eight musicians led by Claudio and Chris from Foxchase. They stomp and joyfully burn through positive party jams on all manner of acoustic instruments. Yay fun!

What is 201212, “Twenty Twelve Twelve”?

201212 is a fake name for a real place. The address is 1212 10th St. As you pass the Salvation Army on Central Ave heading toward town, you bear right at the fork and it is a smallish gray industrial building on your left that sits across from Piedmont Middle School. There is plenty of parking across the street. People are to enter through the garage door around the back.

The owners and occupants of the building are amazingly cool and supportive of arts of all kind, and are gracious enough to let us do a run of party shows there. If/when you meet them, shake their hands; thank them profusely.

Think of this space as a roomier, classier, less legally problematic version of the Yauhaus. Shows there will be run with the same ethic.

201212 is the beginning.

Pecha Kucha Night Vol. 4

HartWitzen Gallery
136 E. 36th St, 28206

7:30 pm - Midnight

I never cared for the Barcelona Pavilion. Yes, it is a wonderful arrangement of points, lines, and planes, but to me it always seemed lifeless. This series of images documents the reason I have changed my position. I discovered how the building exists as an experience, in addition to being the idyllic architectural composition: the layering of images by reflecting space upon space. The complex spatial and image configurations created by this condition provide a mystifying experiential counterpoint to the clinical gestalt design exhibited in the plan, section and elevation.

I will be speaking briefly about the series of images I took while visiting the Barcelona Pavilion in Barcelona, Spain. Please come out for the evening. There will be many interesting presentations and performances.

Thanks!

Desolation Wilderness w/ Cement Stars + Ahleuchatistas
@ Snug Harbor
1228 Gordon Ave, 28205
9 pm

From KINNIKINNIK:

DESOLATION WILDERNESS has put out an album of shimmery, sun-filled shoegaze. I’m digging the heck out of it, and it’s a lot more upbeat than the previous album (which I also enjoyed). They’re on K RECORDS and have a great live set. The guy who engineered a handful of some of my favorite discs (Adrian Orange, etc) is in this band. AND they frigging live in Portland; you aren’t going to see them come through very often.

AHLEUCHATISTAS are on John Zorn’s label Tzadik and play with proficiency that matches. You will not see another show this year with guys ripping it up as much as them. But this is not a soulless, purely technical shred-fest. They really really rock. I’ll place bets now that over half the crowd will have their jaws dropped.

CEMENT STARS just released an album that captures them at their best, hooks galore. This will be the sumptuous vacation cruise portion of the evening.

ART PARTY #2

2009-08-23T18:09:00.002-04:00

Thank you to everyone who came out to the last-ish Art Party/show at Rosemont last night. The artwork looked great again on the walls and Juffage played some really rad music that I think most people were genuinely into.

It's been a great run at the Rosemont apartments. We've hosted Pattern Is Movement, Bo White + Duo Select, Gray Ghost, Lowbrow, Meth Mountain, Grids, The Beast, GDP, John Williamson, Bob Fields, Andrew Weathers, Daniel Joseph and Nations, among a few others. Thank you very much to all the amazing local artists for displaying your work in our hallways.

And of course thanks to the many people who came out to party and more importantly those of you who came to support the art and music. We'll be working something out in the future...

SWEEEET YAUHAUS SHOW ON SUNDAY

2009-08-19T22:09:00.003-04:00

For real, this time the show starts at 9pm because the cops come if the show goes on too long. You don’t want that to happen and I don’t want that to happen. Show up at 9, enjoy a show that lasts until 11, and then go home to the husband and kids.

Also, don’t show up if you just want to party. This isn’t “cool town”. If you would not like to see one of these bands, there’s no reason to show. You’re just clogging up the porch. We’re not assholes, but it just makes sense. These have gotten big enough to where we can officially say THEY ARE NOT PARTIES, THEY ARE SHOWS. Yauhaus = five years strong.

Kinnikinnik does this:

This SUNDAY, August 23rdJANA HUNTER + CRAZY DREAMS BAND + BOB FIELDSAt YAUHAUS1227 Rollins AveCharlotte, NC 282059pm SHARPPPPPPPPPPP!$3-5

JANA HUNTER, from Baltimore, has a really gorgeous voice, top notch songs and an avant presentation. She’ll be performing with a full band. She’s also on these record labels Gnomonsong, Fuck It Tapes, Woodsist, Troubleman. If you haven’t heard it, you’re missing out.

CRAZY DREAMS BAND is the full-on rock outing of Ms. Lexie Mountain on Holy Mountain records. Sounds reminiscent of Royal Trux + Sun City Girls + Patti Smith. Crazy sounds and awesome crooning. Also features the drummer from Mouthus/Religious Knives.

BOB FIELDS is a glutton for wonderment, matched by none. The new sets are impeccable.

TWO OF THESE BANDS ARE TOURING. Please do not fuck around and be sure to bring $3-5 donation. You will not find a better or cheaper show.Stop watching television.

FUTURE ISLANDS/LONNIE WALKER/JAVELIN SHOW @ YAUHAUS

2009-08-13T17:53:00.002-04:00

Future Islands (Baltimore), Lonnie Walker (Raleigh) and Javelin (NYC) all killed it at Yauhaus last night. Shame on you if you missed it.

Cops showed up during Lonnie's set which resulted in Future Islands (softly) bangin out an extremely rare and impromptu acoustic set. Please believe I got the whole night on tape and recordings will be up sooner than later.

Also, be sure to go listen to Javelin right now. They were sooooo sick last night.

***NOTICE: ALL SHOWS AT YAUHAUS WILL BE STARTING AT 9 ON THE DOT***
So show up at 8, mingle til 9, enjoy cop-free music til 11, theeeeen get out yer ya-yas. Pleeeeeease!!!!

I finally got around to bringing my tape recorder with me everywhere I go so I'll be posting live sets on here once Bo masters them. Once I get a digital camera, I'll be posting way too many pictures from these shows and other places as well. Please feel free to share any pictures or sounds you've captured. The point of all this is to promote local live music and to make sure things keep getting better and better... Coming soon will be sets from Great Architect, Moenda, Have and Have Nots, Quiet Hooves, Black Congo, NC, Apathy Like You Mean It, John Williamson, Foxchase, Ultimate Optimist, and Siren. Also be on the lookout for the first issue of my bi-weekly show calendar/local promo newspaper called All Killer.
