Ohhh, 100! You merit a prize of some sort. |
||||||||

|
|
seeing as I'm the journalist who coined the term "who?core", basis for unendless debates on an undendless amount of messageboards, I think I deserve one. |
||||||||
|

also, my avatar holds a gun and has a menacing moustache. |

We're all pretty awesome. |

|
are the tracks really going to be so short ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
grinning ape is really into one minute tracks at the one minute. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
some tracks should be longer i think |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You just don't get it. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
this is just one of the many paradoxes that make grinning ape so irresistable. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

The more I think about the name what?core the more I think it is the genre to end all genres. All the tracks are short, that's the ethos Axion, old sport, short tracks, to the point, and then *ka-puff* onto the next thing. Unless they're ambient, then they can be two minutes long. |

it's what Sigue Sigue Sputnik could've been, had they thought about it just a little more. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I liked, no, still like Sigue Sigue Sputnik. The crap I took at school for that, it still hurts.... still hurts. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I made a goddamned thread about them on here! anyway.. did you buy anything beyond the first record? if only they had made shorter tracks.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

if i may be so bold, i have some questions for the Grinning Ape: 1. What was it like working with Richard D James? 2. Now that what?core has rendered all other forms of music obsolete, why do other artists still continue? I was quite shocked and dismayed to learn that there are non-what?core CD releases planned for the future and I can't believe they still have a fanbase. It seems impossible. 3. Any plans on touring? 4. Is it true that you are dating Angelina Jolie? 5. What is it like to be solely responsible revolutionizing music? 6. What was it like knowing Kurt Cobain? thank you. |

I do think "Love Missile F1-11" is one of the greater records of the 20th century. |

Thanks rF04, it's always great to hear from the fans and I know it's tough on the frontline what with unemployment and "shit" but thanks for contuing to buy my records. Here are the answers to the questions you set: What was it like working with Richard D James? You mean Staz, I don't think he is actually RDJ, I think he's Oslo's "The AFFECTS TWINs - a tribute to Come to Daddy", but, you know, he's as good as the Twin, to my ears, and a great deal cheaper. Now that what?core has rendered all other forms of music obsolete, why do other artists still continue? I was quite shocked and dismayed to learn that there are non-what?core CD releases planned for the future and I can't believe they still have a fanbase. It seems impossible. All music will continue, but like Hitler and his Deviant Art exhibition, it only will serve as a testament to its debauched degeneracy, and another word begining with D that I'm searching that I can't remember. Oh decadence. 3. Any plans on touring? I'd love to, wouldn't it be ace to hook up somehow to everyone's house and play globally, at home, in our pants. Perhaps on "The Internet" 4. Is it true that you are dating Angelina Jolie? Here's an Absolutely TRUE story my mum told me two days ago. Apparently their neighbour is an interior designer who has just done up Brad and Jolie's new country house in England, in Buckinghamshire I believe. Anyway APPARENTLY she's off to Cambodia this week (possibly to harvest more orphans) and she wants this bloke to go with her, to decorate ...some... huts. The great bit of this is though that this guy told this story to my dad... who has no idea who Angelina Jolie is. Genius. 5. What is it like to be solely responsible revolutionizing music ? - Pfff, arousing. 6. What was it like knowing Kurt Cobain? You say "knowing" I'd say being told by DJ Gary Crowley to go and see a secret Nirvana gig at the Bull & Gate and instead being subjected to crusty vegetarian raggle taggle h |

Aggghh... 6. What was it like knowing Kurt Cobain? You say "knowing" I'd say being told by DJ Gary Crowly to go and see a secret Nirvana gig at the Bull & Gate and instead being subjected to crusty vegetarian raggle taggle homeless indie also rans "Back to the planet" qrter It is. Dame David Bowie thought so enough to cover it for a b-side for "recent" single New Killer Star. I bought all three or four singles and the first album, which is really good. Check out "Atari Baby" if yo ucan find it somewhere. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have the first album. but that's my point - no one bought anything beyond the first album! and why? the songs were too long! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahahah... best interview ever... |
||||||||
|
|

i want to start a zine just to publish those answers. |

Have we had this conversation already? I'm turning into Earthleakage but without the vast sums of royalties. I agree, but, the thing is, the more perfect the band, the more you only need one album. Who needs 5, 6, 7 Oasis albums, who really wants more.... Radiohead? BOC? Daft Punk? Music shouldn't be a career, it should be an expression of here and now. Not fucking blathering on. DAMN THEM! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
can I just say: who needs any Oasis albums? they've always been extremely derivative and, this may be shocking, but I'll say it anyway, quite shit. an endless amount of laddish quotes in interviews won't save you from being just plain, ordinary shit. |

We can put it on the hot-sex new website, I just registered grinningape.com, we can do all sorts of crazy shit. IMAGINE THE FUTURE. |

of topic but did you feel that Dog_Belch growed more popular and stuff when he comitted suicide that artist does when they do like Kurt Cobaine or Nick drake(fruit three) for example.(not a really serious question) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sounds like there's a fun poll in there somewhere.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I realise now that Phobia's plan to neuter the mighty dog_belch was to make him a moderator, forcing him into an invidious position and frankly handing over a loaded gun with which to shoot myself. That's e-manslaughter, by any other name. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no no.. he simply facilitated the transcendence of dog_belch into gay_day into Grinning Ape. he helped you. he helped us ALL. is there soup? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
More stuff coming soon people |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's like buying a car and not having the money |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I never see the bigger picture... I knew it must all make sense, I just didn't know how it made sense. Fuck,... he really is brilliant. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes but is there soup? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, as of now, all Grinning Ape poorly mastered, if at all, CD-Rs will come with an Onion Broth individual serving just-add-water Soup. OK???!?!?!?! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well you can say what you want, but that alone makes this semi-retail release groundbreaking. |

If effects levels go up to ten, or even eleven, then to use them to their full potential. Because why else do they go up to ten (or eleven), it's such a waste to just add a touch of distortion. grea, this is what IDP is about. |
