HANDSOME FURS<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0HUPER #443 [10\/2008]<\/p>\nNajbolja stvar u vezi sa Sub Pop-om?
\nBesplatna pica i kafa u kancelariji u Sijetlu. I to \u0161to na odeljenju isporuke radi Mark Arm, peva\u010d “Mudhoney”.<\/strong><\/p>\nNajbolja stvar u vezi sa radijom?
\nTo \u0161to predstavlja pravu slobodu govora i mo\u017ee da dopre do velike populacije \u010dak i u vreme stra\u0161ne nema\u0161tine i sukoba. U svom naj\u010distijem obliku radio je jo\u0161 uvek glas naroda. A tranzistor ko\u0161ta hiljadu puta manje nego kompjuter. Na\u0161 dolazak u Srbiju inspirisala je, izme\u0111u ostalog, i knjiga o radiju B92.
\n<\/strong>
\nNajbolja stvar u vezi sa Isto\u010dnom Evropom?
\nSve. Tamo je sve je mogu\u0107e.Ima ose\u0107aj za umetni\u010dku inovativnost koja je neverovatno uzbudljiva i sasvim druga\u010dija od na\u0161e. \u010cini se da u umetni\u010dkim krugovima ima manje onog smorenog ‘o, kako je sve dosadno’ stava, koji je preplavio kulturu u ostalim delovima sveta.<\/strong><\/p>\nNajgora stvar kad ste duo?
\nTra\u017eenje mesta za ‘vatanje kad ste na turneji.<\/strong><\/p>\nNajgora stvar u vezi sa zimom?
\nVukovi. Izgladneli vukovi koji lutaju za hranom i skloni\u0161tem.<\/strong><\/p>\nNajgora stvar u vezi sa indi muzikom?
\nToliko toga… evo konkretno: kardigan d\u017eemperi\u0107i, kilavi mu\u0161ki glasovi, previ\u0161e pesama o ose\u0107anjima a premalo o \u017eivotu….gde su nestala muda?<\/strong><\/p>\nKakav je pravi Plague Park? (park Ruttopuisto u Helsinkiju, le\u017ei na masovnoj grobnici \u017ertava velike kuge 1710, po kom su “Handsome Furs” nazvali svoj debi album, p.p.)
\nLepo mesto da se popije pivo u prole\u0107e. Plus, svi ti le\u0161evi u\u010dinili su da trava bude stvarno zelena.<\/strong><\/p>\nVa\u0161 omiljeni ritual?
\nPi\u0107e i pljuga odmah po zavr\u0161etku koncerta, dok smo jo\u0161 znojavi. Br\u010dkanje nogu u okeanu. Pravljenje jutarnje kafe.<\/strong><\/p>\nKo ne bi pro\u0161ao va\u0161u ‘kontrolu face’ (p.p. – ovi ‘kontrolori’ se nalaze na ulazu u elitne ruske klubove, i na osnovu izgleda gosta odlu\u010duju ko mo\u017ee da u\u0111e, a ko ne. “Handosome Furs” su planirali da novi album nazovu Face Control)
\nSvi oni koji pro\u0111u regularnu kontrolu. Mi bismo pu\u0161tali ‘sumnjive’ face.<\/strong><\/p>\nGrad koji mrzite i za\u0161to?
\nKalgari, Teksas Kanade.
\n<\/strong>
\nO \u010demu se radi u pri\u010di “Handsome Furs” ? (pri\u010du je napisala Alexei i po njoj su dobili ime, p.p.)
\nO \u017eeni sa jednim plu\u0107nim krilom koju napadnu i do smrti izmu\u010de \u017eivotinje odbegle iz obli\u017enjeg zoolo\u0161kog vrta.<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.popdepression.com\/__old\/handsomefurs\/handsomefursu3poteza.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
<\/em>Especially for the october edition of\u00a0HUPER, Handsome Furs answered a couple of questions about SubPop-u, radio, making-out, Europe, Canada, dead people, new album…<\/em><\/p>\nHANDSOME FURS<\/span>\u00a0HUPER #443 [10\/2008]<\/p>\nBest thing about sub pop?
\nFree pizza and coffee at the offices in Seattle. Plus Mark Arm from Mudhoney works in the shipping department.<\/strong><\/p>\nBest thing about radio?
\nThe best thing about radio is that it’s a free public expression that can reach a large demographic even during times of extreme impoverishment and hostility. In it’s purest form it is still the voice of the people. A transistor radio costs a fraction of a computer. (Before coming to Serbia we were inspired by the English-language book about the B92 radio station.)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nBest thing about Eastern Europe?
\nEverything. Anything is possible. A sense of artistic newness that is wholly different to us and deeply exciting. In the arts community there doesn’t seem to be the same jaded attitude that exists in a lot of the rest of the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.popdepression.com\/__old\/handsomefurs\/pressPhoto2.jpg\")
Worst thing about being a duo?
\nTrying to find a place to make out on tour.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nWorst thing about winter?
\nWolves. Hungry hungry wolves. Finding food and shelter.<\/strong><\/p>\nWorst thing about indie music?
\nYou name it. A few particulars being: cardigans, weenie male vocalists, too many songs about feelings not enough songs about life, where did the balls go?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nImpressions on the real “Plague Park” (Ruttopuisto)?\u00a0(“Ruttoppuisto is a place in Helsinki, where a bunch of plague victims were buried. It sort of started as a place that was outside of Helsinki, but then Helsinki sort of grew around it. Now it\u2019s the one green, beautiful area in the very cubic, sort of Soviet fa\u00e7ade of the rest of Helsinki. It\u2019s where all these kids go and drink and have good life and stuff. And it\u2019s just weird that it\u2019s about all these dead people”)<\/em>
\nA good place to drink beer in the Spring time. Plus all those buried bodies make the grass really green.<\/strong><\/p>\nYour favourite ritual?
\nSweaty post-show drink and cigarette. Putting feet in oceans. Making coffee in the morning.<\/strong><\/p>\nWho would not pass your “face control”?\u00a0(“The working title for the album, “Face Control,” was inspired by an aspect of club culture the band observed while it was on tour in Moscow. When you go to the bar there’s no guarantee you’ll get in because there’s this thing called face control. You line up and if they don’t like the way you look, you don’t get in. We became obsessed with this idea. We wrote three songs on the train back from Moscow, and that’s turned into a whole album.”)<\/em>
\nAll the people who pass regular face control. We would have negative face control.<\/strong><\/p>\nName the city you hate and why?
\nCalgary, the Texas of Canada.<\/strong><\/p>\nWhat is ‘hadsome furs’ short story about?
\nA dying one-lunged woman who gets saved by being trampled to death by escaped neighbourhood zoo animals.
