say you were given the rare opp to interview Efrim from Godspeed...

on the topic of studio production. what would you ask him?

i'd be curious just about gear stuff...do they record analog or digital, stuff like that

but i guess that is kinda obvious

You do know that all of this equipment and the electricity it's using was made by multinationals, right?

i'm always curious about how bands track...like all together live in the same room, or just rhythm section first, or everyone seperate as overdubs, etc etc

(actually a lot of boutique studio gear stuff is made by small companies but tevs)

but actually you are right, as long as you use anything at all made by a big corporation you shouldn't criticize them. it's not polite.

I think I actually did an interview with him. Via email. It sucked. But that was partially my mistake and partially his humourless ego.

"What is it exactly that you use to make your collective output so goddamned boring?

"

Evil Pylons and Transmitters?

Do you enjoy them?

You reek of mushrooms. Are they organic? They fucking better be

Don't you think what Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails are doing - turning around and kicking The Man's ass after they got rich - is somehow smarter and a lot more influential than your refusal to work with the industry at all? (Sit back for hours of contrarian adolescent sulking or immediate end of interview)

Ah, that's not about studio production, is it? Apologies.

So tell me about Sophie's gear? How does she manages that orchestral sound? Would you tap that?

new album?

Honestly speaking, why wont you just cut the singing? It gets more frequent and annoying in every new album... I mean, I know it's part of the anarchist aesthetic you're trying to push on us here but couldnt you just find anyone with a real voice in Montreal to sing your clicheed doomful lyrics to us?

(this referring to asmz, not gybe)

ask him about working w/Carla Bozulich on Evangelista
