I talked with Alex and Jenna from Fuck Montreal this week about their latest single on Stumparumper, or should I say they interviewed me in a weird way. I was asking the questions, but Alex was kind enough to record it from his end off a speakerphone and reedit. Let's just say it's almost an unreleased track.
For some reason my trusty system went all crazy in the middle of a snowstorm (what does that have to do with the internet, I'll never know) but anyway, it worked out, hopefully I an catch up with these guys in person someday and reassure them I'm not completely inept.
So with that stunning endorsement here's 7inches limited edition speakerphone-fi interview with Fuck Montreal. Download here.
In listening to one of their cassettes 'lo fi', I was pulling songs out for the podcast, and I think the thing that keeps getting me about these guys is that I can hear how excited they are to sing, I can hear this kind of optimism, the sheer energy they put out there, it's all here. Their personalities in (sort of) person were exactly what I expected.
To get all things Fuck Montreal, it's best to either contact pat at Stumparumper, The Radiator Family or hit up Alex directly for the cassette awesomeness at alextheidiot (at) gmail.com
Thanks for showing me this band. I was going to order off the kickstart for Stumparumper that you mentioned a little while back, but I already had an order open for Florida's Dying. It was 2$ more at FD too. I thought I was going to save on S+H ): oh well.
ReplyDeleteJust a thought, you should type out highlights or excerpts (maybe even link to the entire thing). There is no way I can listen to any streaming media for at least 6 months, but I am really interested.
Hey, no problem, you'd be surprised how many times I forget I already ordered a single and buy it anyway down the street at Academy.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea, I'll see what I can do and post the transcript of the interview in the forums. Stay tuned.
Thanks man. Good lookin out.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAAHHAAH!!! I finally listened to this. Funny shit man. WHO DID THE REMIX LAUGHTER??!?! That shit was gold. Maybe it was just a byproduct of web traffic / lag??? but it sounded so awesome every time there was even a moment of hesitation / awkwardness, it went into remix mode. SO FUNNY.
ReplyDeleteThat was them, totslly funny they took their side and messed with it. I appreciated the hell out of it.
ReplyDeleteThose guys were awesome.
You got me to mess with one of those programs where I tried to dictate the transcript and it was a crazy mess.
