7 Silly Questions w/ Enemy From Space!
Brilliant electronic artist Enemy From Space (aka mild manner math professor Kelly Shane) is a busy, busy man, and has been for decades. For a quarter of a century, he has been the go to man for his outstanding drumming and electronic music programming abilities. He has worked with everyone from Jandek to producers Don Fleming and David Barbe. Thingmo Records just reissued the debut EFS full-length record Abstractions! If that wasn't enough, he is currently one half of the electropop duo Your Fuzzy Friends, which also has a new vinyl release today. Despite being so busy, we were able to trap EFS in a broom closet and didn't let him out until he answered our highly ridiculous questions.
What's the most embarrassing band you loved as a kid?
Enemy: I don't think I really loved any bands until becoming a teenager, no longer a kid, so no excuse for my bad taste then. I was more into singles as a youngster. I did like the Eagles as a kid, but puberty put an end to that-- they were too laid back.
What is the first record you bought?
Enemy: I think it might have been Steve Martin's "Let's Get Small." I was a comedy nerd before becoming a music nerd.
Unicorns vs. Narwhals? Who would win in a fight?
Enemy: I deny this false dichotomy! (But you know in your heart it's narwhals.)
What is the funniest thing that has happened to you on the road?
Enemy: I was touring with Invaders From a Forbidden Planet and Newsboy Legion in the late 90s, playing drums in both bands. After a week in a van with little sleep or personal space and a lot of off-color, surreal humor, the Legion's bass player yelled, "Enough with the dick jokes!" in the middle of a crowded Wendy's. I'm sure the families at the nearby tables were a little unnerved.
Your music depends heavily on technology and keyboards. How often does your gear betray you?
Enemy: I am afraid to answer this question truthfully, or it may jinx my equipment. Often enough. That's one reason I play drums live, because my technological skills with physical equipment, as opposed to virtual computer tools, are comparable to Fred Flintstone's. (That and I am a lousy keyboardist.)
Who is in heavy rotation on your iPod?
New Boards of Canada and Queens of the Stone Age. Hardcore Devo. Grimes. Voivod. An exotica album by Robert Drasnin I recently discovered. Lots of Firesign Theatre, William S. Burroughs and The Residents.
What is the worst song you ever covered?
I played in a band that did "The Summer of 69" by Bryan Adams for a charity event. It was for a good cause.

7 Silly Questions w/ Fulhäst
Fulhäst is my 8-Bit idol! Always entertaining, his decidedly lo-fi electronic wizardry full of bleeps and bloops, fuzzy guitars, and casio beats is accompanied by terribly clever lyrics. Fulhäst just released a pay what you want single on Bandcamp (see below) and is prepping a new 10" record called Broken on Fika Records! All this on the heels of last years cassette release Down the Deuce. Despite all the hullabaloo surrounding a new release, Fulhäst still had time to sit down with us and answer some highly suspect questions.
What's the most embarrassing band you loved as a kid?
Fulhäst: I've almost had immaculate taste in music. The first music I
remember listening to was a cassette with songs by the Smurfs in Swedish. I
must have been around four or five. It was called 'Smurf Party in Smurf Land'
and was really good. I wonder what happened to it. There were loads of good
songs on there. I remember one about lemons. I can still hear it in my head.
Maybe I should do a cover of it? I even managed to find it on youtube – (http://youtu.be/ILDa0tTWDOs?
What is the first record you bought?
Fulhäst: There are different first records, no? Like, the first LP I
was given as a kid I think was Herrey's – Diggi Loo Diggi Ley. This is a
seriously amazing record and the title track will melt your face. I even
managed to find an English so you can enjoy the majestic lyrics (https://www.youtube.com/
Unicorns vs. Narwhals? Who would win in a fight?
Fulhäst: I don't know what a narwhal is and that sounds like a really
stupid thing to google, so I'm going to say unicorn. It would probably be able
to stab a narwhal to death with its horn. Unicorns are cool.
What is the funniest thing that has happened to you on the road?
Fulhäst: Well, at the time it was the most horrendous experience, but in hindsight it's rather amusing. It was during the Moustache Of Insanity days. It involved me being hideously hungover and trying to vomit standing up in an extremely dirty and miniscule bus toilet on a bumpy road. It is actually pretty fucking difficult to vomit standing completely upright AND try to hit the toilet bowl at the same time. I don't recommend it. Then, to make things worse, when I pushed the flush button everything just kind of sprayed back at me, covering me in loads of stinky chunks. That's when I realised that the tap didn't work L I had to sheepishly return to my bus seat covered in puke. Bill, my bandmate, was very impressed. Another funny thing was when we played in Vienna, Austria, and this really drunken girl kept grabbing the microphone off the stage and screaming that we were "commercial bullshit" (in a strong Austrian accent…so imagine a young female Arnie)…which is something I've never been accused of. After the show, she came up to say she liked us.
If you could relive your prom, what song would you want to slow dance to?
Fulhäst: Hmmm. As in relive it and a song from those days? Maybe Bryan Adams "(Everything
I Do) I Do It for You." If I had to pick a modern song, hmmm…I don't know. It's
been a loooong time since I slow danced. Maybe "A Stone" by Okkervil River. I
always liked that song. Can you dance to that? I don't know. Do people even
make slow dancey songs these days? What do the kids slow dance to? I'm so old.
Who is in heavy rotation on your iPod?
Fulhäst: I go through phases…but this year so far has been very heavy
on The Blow, The Mountain Goats, Mr. T Experience, Lefty Loosie, Nana Grizol,
The Ergs! Martha, Los Gatos Negros, T-Shirt Weather and Molly Nilsson. I played
with a girl called Olive Anne last week and she was incredible, so I've been
listening to her a lot this week.
What is the worst fight over nothing that you got into with each other after being road weary and exhausted?
Fulhäst: Well, since I'm now a 'playing-on-my-own person' (I fucking
hate the word solo-artist) I just have to deal with myself all the time, which
can actually be quite annoying. It's hard to escape yourself and I can be
hideously indecisive, I get really restless and annoyed easily. When I was in a
band (Moustache Of Insanity) I would still say it was an oh so horrible
experience in Newcastle. We got to the venue way too early in the afternoon and
started drinking heavily. Many hours later, when we finally got on stage we
were both really drunk and had a proper argument on stage and it kind of lasted
throughout the whole set. Nothing really worked, we played like shit and we
were just really pissed off with each other. Not fun.
