Actually, yes, I think a new interview with ULEX XANE would be a good idea. Say in about a year from now, after the CD reissues have had plenty of time to get around and for people to take them in, etc. Plus, he generally always has something interesting to say anyway.
It would be interesting to see how Ulex feels about the attention he has received/will receive as a result of them. Will he finally get the recognition he deserves? Does he even really want it though? Of course plenty of 'us' have known for years how great Streicher is - it's an ultimate cult act and will surely remain so, so does it not matter eitherway? Interest in Streicher has steadily increased ever since the 'War Without End' CD release on Cold Spring in 2002 of course, but I've definitely noticed further interest over these last few years especially too, and so the reissues have come at the perfect time really.
Again, I totally and utterly commend Mikko's insight in reissuing all the Streicher and Goldenrod stuff. Rest assured, if I ran a label and/or had the money, it certainly would've been something I would've looked into doing it myself. It's just a shame I still haven't been able to afford to buy them all yet! Haha.
To say the least, I was initially very surprised by the content of Ulex's entensive myspace profile, and was surprised he was even on anything like myspace in the first place, and it sort of ruined part of the 'mystique' Ulex/Streicher had for me at first, but then the content of course created further mystery that I couldn't help but be intrigued by, and so learning more about the different sides of the man himself via his page has been quite fascinating, and I agree that a new interview should also focus on his personal ideologies & philosophies, etc.
What did everybody think of the Streicher tribute compilation tape 'THE STORMER'? I knew it was never going to be great, but I liked the idea enough to want to hear it and I quite enjoyed it. If you haven't heard it, you can check it out here :
