Interview on Q101 Chicago
(caller1) chris, when did you join KMFDM?
(chris) uh,,, um,,, er, i guess like 6:30 this evening. and that was like just prior to
recording the album and bringing it down
here. it all happened very fast. and i'm gonna be booted out after the show too (there is
much laughter in the backround)
(caller1) you think it'll be different than Pigface? (note. this is a stupid question)
(chris) uh.... yeah, yeah... come on...
(caller1) what do you think you have to offer?
(chris) offer whom? you?
(caller1) no, you to KMFDM.
(chris) oh, i'm sorry. uh. i don't know.. i just......
(sasha) well we just take him for granted, he doesn't have to offer anything
(chris) yea, i'm just, well i guess i offer my lyrical prowess and my poetic vision, and
my dolset tones, its the same as i offer
anyone and there's other stuff i offer too, but i've been told i can't talk about that on
q101.
(terrible questions... not worth translating....not about chris....sorry)
(caller1) how did chris get kicked out of Pigface? or did he leave?
(chris) i was thrown out by the ankles!
(sasha) everybody gets kicked out of Pigface.
(chris) its actually like a franchise, and i didn't pay my quarterly fees to have the
honor of being a member of the band, and i
forgot to pay up. and there's no tolerance, its like rent, and i was thrown out.
(caller2) (asked a question about the covers of KMFDM albums.)
(caller3) When's the new album gonna come out?
(sasha) its gonna come out mid june, hopefully.
(caller3) (some question about the current industrial scene)
(sasha) (some witty retort)
(caller3) (asks about tour)
(sasha) no tour info yet.... nothing planned.... we JUST finished the album.... so nothing
planned yet...
(caller4) i want to know what happened to chris trying to publish his poetry.
(chris) nothing happened, i just haven't done it. and every about, once a year, i look at
what i've got and think its about time
to do something with it. and then i change my mind thinking next year i'll have a lot more
work.and my writings getting better
and blah blah blah.so its just an ongoing thing. i think its gonna take someone to just...
(caller 4) are we gonna have to tie you down? make you release it, or?....
(chris) well for me to do that i have to do a lot of... i have to retype it all... and
i don't really have the energy, or the time to do
that all, if somebody sort of knocked on my door and said just give us it and we'll do
everything for you......
(caller 4) i'll do it!
(chris) and pay for it too....
(caller 4) i've got all the time in the world.....
(chris) you do?
(caller 4) i'm a housewife basically.
(sasha) get a job!
(caller 4) no!
(chris) see, i can't pay anyone. i guess what it'd take would be for a publisher to just
come along and say.....
(mike) chris, give up your mcdonalds job and really get down on it.
(caller 4) trash was great, you just need more like it. and you could find people on the
internet who'd be willing to back you up....
(chris) well that's good to know. y'know i don't do that myself, but i'm really making a
concerted effort to do it this year. ok?
(more) the new kmfdm sounds very good.... sasha says the working title is rumour
(five letters long, though chris didn't think so, and
neither do i). chris is confused about bigod20's cover of 'like a prayer', he didn't know
that was a madonna song, and now it
seems he thinks that madonna is in bigod20. heh.
