Patrick Slevin from The Aquarian Weekly has this week interviewed Maynard about his work with Puscifer. It’s one of the more interesting interviews I’ve read, so check it out.
Here’s a not so random quote:
The EP that was recently released was only available digitally, as well as the Lustmord dub mixes. Do you expect to continue releasing physical records?
Not yet. As this project develops and as it gains a little more momentum, we might eventually do some CDs. We’ll definitely do vinyl. But I’m going to rely on the digital sales to fund the making, because once again, we’re independent, so writing a check for a bunch of coasters seems kind of silly at this point.
I think people like to have the CD in their hand, but I don’t think they realize that to have one CD in their hand, I had to make thousands to make it worth making them, and then you’re sitting on all these coasters. I’m not going to do that until the sales of the digital stuff catches up with it. Then we’ll do another collection, maybe make it a part of the DVD. But we’re going to make vinyl, for sure. Vinyl format I think is more fun, you can put more images on the 12-inch surfaces. It’s great.
Yeah, that was a good read. I am very happy that I decided not to let my initial dislike of V is for VaJayJay stop me from witnessing PussyFur live. I thoroughly enjoyed the show, and I would definitely go again. One thing that occurred to me while reading this… I wish someone in one of these dozens of recent interviews would ask him the obvious (to all of us here and on TA anyway) question… In light of PussyFur’s “different show every night” work ethic… why has TººL in contrast played virtually the same set for years touring on… Read more »

I’ve heard various answers, and I’m not slagging (I dug every live TººL show I’ve attended, regardless of the set list) I would just like to hear Maynard’s thoughts on the subject.

If I ever get a chance to interview MJK (or anyone else in Tool) one question I’d ask is what they read while they’re on the toilet pooping.
Inquiring minds want to know.

I just went to the 2 puscifer shows in DC. They were excellent! I got quite a bit of video that I’m in the process of posting and editing and all that, I’ll share it when I’m done. We were sitting about 8 rows back on Friday and the bouncers busted me a couple of times taking footage but let me stay…after the show one of the meatheads came up to me and demanded my camera, i refused adamently and he started ushering me somewhere…he kept grabbing at me and finally i pulled out my phone, punched in 9-1-1 and… Read more »

Yeah I’ve never got the whole taking a camera/cellphone/etc. into a show with you. Always kinda chuckled at the people who watch a live show, right there infront of them, through the small viewing lens of a camera or cellphone. Nor do I understand those who call friends and let them “listen” through the phone to the live show they’re not at.
I prefer to just sit back and experience the show through my own eyes and memories, not through crummy videos I’m taking to put on youtube or whatever.
Different strokes though.
yeah i agree markus but mean its worth taking atleast a camera for some still shots for the memories.
sampson – 7 hours ago » yeah i agree markus but mean its worth taking atleast a camera for some still shots for the memories. Yeah, you know part of the thing for me too is that I just hate having things in my pockets and trying to cram a cellphone and/or camera into my pockets, along with maybe keys and/or a wallet is just annoying to me. Plus they’re just more expensive toys that I could possibly end up losing while rocking out. So whenever I go to a show I try to leave all that stuff in the… Read more »
