Favourite movies and stuff?
Herzog. All his movies are good. Strozek, Even dwarves started small, Heart of Glass. . . – Nate
David-Gordon Green. Do you guys like? Well I do so screw you guys-Rory
I’m taking film studies How ’bout Goddard? Weekend, And Bridget Bardot, and those other ones we
didn’t have time to get through.
Aside: Nate worked at a video store. He can speak for hours on movies. Don’t get him started.
Masculine, Feminine, A women is a women (Nate continues)
Mathew Barney. Mathew Barney? Do you like him just because you think Bjork is hot?
No, I went to an exhibition in San Fran and saw Drawing Restraint Nine. Look into it. Gotta love petroleum and undigested shrimp.
Who chained a shopping cart to what? Caila chained a shopping cart filled with shopping bags to herself and walked around town. We should have videotaped it. But we did take pictures so we can prove it.
What were we trying to say? Nothing
End of arts tangent
Favourite Bands, Inspiration?
I don’t know if I’m inspirable.
Coffee and Niacin are my inspiration. And the New Yorker-I fancy myself a sophisticate but without the money to back it up.We can’t do this. I foresee Shapes losing all structure or association with other music in the future.
I like emotionality and the struggle of filling-out questionaires.
Totally unrelated (thanks for the help Rory)
I got hit by a car. Painted Sarah McClaughlin’s house. I guess you could say I’m stumbling towards ecstacy.
All I know is that Mark Rothko is for girls – Nathan
And interior designers – Caila
Basquiat is for boys.
I like Valie Export.
Duchamps is good, and yoko ono – Rory
I like Robert Bateman because he’s Canadian and we both like Wolves. He reminds me of my childhood because you could get prints of his art if you collected enough cheerios boxes.
How did you meet?
It was a very formal affair. Nathan called me up, I was a bit into Dixieland and tubas at the time so it took a bit of convincing. Nathan was relentless. He offered to let me spend all my money and play in smoky clubs to 4 people. I wholeheartedly agreed.
Why does every band in the world suck compared to us? [Editor's Note: I did not ask this question - MK] Why didn’t A&R Man ask a question like this? The other questions are too hard.
Perfection is lonely. People just don’t understand how advanced we are.
I think that hyperthyliminian modulation you put in that song went over people’s heads. Except in Dallas.
Yeah, but they’re hip in Dallas.
Totally.
Yeah.
Real hip.
And cool.
Yeah you said it.
I think we all agree then.
Yep definitely.
For sure.
For sure.
I’m in.
Me too.
What about you?
Yes.
Why do we spend all our money on avocados instead of cocaine like other bands?
It costs the same so what’s the problem?
