| THE FOLLOWING IS A SLIGHTLY MODIFIED, AND EXTREMELY EDITED VERSION OF A CONVERSATION WITH CHIXDIGGIT BEFORE THEIR SHOW AT THE PYRAMID ON NOVEMBER 6TH. THERE WAS NO PREPARATION AND IT ALL FELL APART LEAVING VERY LITTLE PERTINENT PUBLISHABLE MATERIAL. WITHOUT FURTHER ADO... |
| CHIXDIGGIT IS KJ JANSEN (VOCALS/GUITAR), MARK O'FLAHERTY (BASS), MIKE EGGERMONT (GUITAR), AND DAVE ALCOCK (DRUMS). AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES OF FRIENDLY CONVERSATION, FINALLY CAME THE FIRST QUESTION... | |
|
RNRJ:
|
ARE YOU GUYS STICKING ON HONEST DON'S? |
|
KJ:
|
I HOPE SO. ITS A GOOD LABEL, THEY'RE ALL REALLY COOL. WE WERE ON SUB POP BEFORE AND THAT WAS LAME. BUT HD TOOK US AND THEY'RE FRIENDLY, AND THEY WORK, WHICH IS KINDA CRAZY. AND THEY SELL RECORDS, WHICH IS FUCKED UP TOO. MOST LABELS DON'T LIKE TO SELL RECORDS. ITS BAD FOR THEIR IMAGE...BUT HD DOESN'T CARE. |
|
RNRJ:
|
DID THEY APPROACH YOU? |
|
KJ:
|
YEAH. WE PLAYED IN SAN FRANCISCO TWO YEARS AGO WHEN WE DID A WEST COAST TOUR, AND FAT MIKE WAS THERE AND HE TOLD US HE WANTED TO PUT OUT OUR RECORD. SO THAT WAS PRETTY COOL. |
|
MARK:
|
HE'S NOT THAT FAT EITHER. |
|
KJ:
|
HE'S ACTUALLY IN GOOD SHAPE. |
|
MARK:
|
HE GOT THAT NAME FROM GAINING WEIGHT ON TOUR...I READ THAT IN AN INTERVIEW SOMEWHERE. |
|
RNRJ:
|
A BETTER INTERVIEW THAN THIS? |
|
KJ:
|
THIS IS ACTUALLY ONE OF MY FAVORITE INTERVIEWS. |
| AFTER GETTING SOME MORE BEER AND TALKING ABOUT CRAPPY INTERVIEWS, DOUG FLUTIE, AND CALGARY, A HOT TOPIC CAME UP... | |
|
MIKE:
|
ARE YOU GUYS CIRCUMCISED? |
|
ANDY:
|
YES. |
| CASEY: | NO. |
|
MIKE:
|
GOOD FOR YOU. |
|
KJ:
|
I NEED ARGUMENTS FOR IT BECAUSE MY GIRLFRIEND IS SAYING THAT IF WE HAVE A KID HE HAS TO GET CIRCUMCISED...I SAID "FUCK THAT!" |
|
DAVE:
|
WHY? |
|
KJ:
|
SHE SAID...UH...WHAT'S THE COMMON ARGUMENT? |
|
MIKE:
|
SANITARY. |
|
KJ:
|
SANITARY? I'LL WASH THAT DICK MYSELF. |
|
MARK:
|
YEAH, THERE ARE SHOWERS EVERYWHERE. EVEN ON TOUR...HANG YOUR DICK IN THE SINK. |
|
KJ:
|
I'M LACTOSE INTOLERANT, YOU KNOW. |
|
MIKE:
|
THERE'S SOMETHING NERDY ABOUT BEING LACTOSE INTOLERANT (SNICKERS). THAT ONLY HAPPENS TO...UH...THAT KID ON THE SIMPSONS. |
|
KJ:
|
OK, YOU CAN TAKE IT EASY RIGHT NOW. MY FEELINGS ARE GETTING HURT. I'M NO LACTOSE INTOLERANT NERD. MY FEELINGS ARE GETTING HURT. |
| MANY ISSUES CAME UP AFTER THIS POINT: DAVID LETTERMAN'S PENIS, WHO'S THE BOSS?, FAVORITE PORN WEB-SITES, POT, ANDY KAUFFMAN, HOCKEY HAIR, AND SQUEEGEE KIDS... | |
|
KJ:
|
THERE'S ABOUT FIFTEEN JACKASSES FROM WINNIPEG LIVING IN CALGARY ON THE STREET CORNERS WASHING OUR FUCKING WINDOWS. |
|
RNRJ:
|
GOOD, WE GOT RID OF SOME. |
|
KJ:
|
THEY'RE STILL HERE THOUGH...YOU'RE BREEDING MORE. ITS LIKE A FARM TEAM. |
|
MIKE:
|
THEN YOU SEND 'EM TO THE BIG LEAGUES. |
|
KJ:
|
THIS GUY COMES UP TO OUR CAR, AND I SAY "NO THANKS", AND HE GIVES ME THE FINGER. JESUS! HE'S GOT LIKE ONE TOOTH LEFT...JUST GIMME A CRACK AT THAT ONE TOOTH (SHAKING HIS FIST). |
|
RNRJ:
|
DO YOU GUYS EVER HANG OUT WITH FORBIDDEN DIMENSION? |
|
KJ:
|
YEAH. TOM (LEAD SINGER FOR FORBIDDEN DIMENSION) DOES ALL OF OUR ARTWORK. HIS KID IS AS CUTE AS A BUTTON. HE AND HIS WIFE ARE SO GOOD TOGETHER, ITS PRETTY COOL. HE'S A REALLY GOOD GUY. |
|
DAVE:
|
AWWW, PRINT THAT. THAT'S NICE. |
|
KJ:
|
YEAH, FORBIDDEN DIMENSION ARE REALLY GOOD. WE USED TO COVER THEIR SONG "CREEPSVILLE"...THAT'S A FUCKING GREAT SONG. THEY WERE CALLED COLOR ME PSYCHO BEFORE. THEY PUT OUT A WICKED RECORD. |
|
DAVE:
|
ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS OUT OF CALGARY. FORBIDDEN DIMENSION ARE ACTUALLY CALLED THE DAGGERS NOW. |
| SHORTLY AFTER THIS POINT WE RETREATED DOWNSTAIRS. CHIXDIGGIT PUT ON A GREAT SHOW. THE END. |
 |
