Mr Untitled is scheduled for WCN interview. Will be interesting.

Read Rocker #6, which was easily worst issue so far. The Haters piece is absolutely the highlight here and makes zine worth having, but... I guess Rocker doesn't necessarily "identify" as NOISE ZINE, but that's how I've seen it and therefore expect noise content in it. It is noise related to some degree, but it is very frustrating to go through long audio-to-text interviews where artists focuses on insecurities and uncertainties and somewhat random life stories and just about anything... but noise. hah. NWN is fine, but recently been listening to not only his interviews in the podcasts, but also several hours long interviews of his from NWN podcast as well as interviews he has been making and it seems there is barely anything new here? Also not exactly deciding any specific angle to interview. If someone been around for as long as many grown up noise artists tend to be, these days could be good idea to plan interview a bit more to suit the purpose. Newbies we don't know, could tell more, but veterans could focus on something they're most interested to discuss, rather than re-telling whole story again?

Rocker #7 was started, and curiously there 30 year old American experimental noise maker is at page 10 of his interview as says "you're really just busting out the big questions. Let's go back and talk about noise"!
Yep. Fuck. "Have you ever been in love?", "Lets go to your childhood in detail". Dudes, this is not how interviews become "deep". That's the all day everyday chit chat you need to try to bear when interacting with people. Tell me something I would even know why I am listening to what is being said. If sign of good interview is that you want to hear the artists work, The Haters, I got instantly feeling that I NEED to listen to more The Haters. More than I already do. With Monte Cazazza interview, I got tempted to revisit. With Jacob Winans, perhaps mostly due his "let's go back and talk about noise", I feel tempted to check out his noise. The rest? Don't even know who they really are. People talking about stuff people talk about. I hear that everywhere.
#7 is definitely better. Despite not yet read ODAL feature, I feel it will be good writing from Frans De Waard, about artists who most certainly can be placed next to "under-rated" -label. Damn those ODAL tapes are good!
