10 Years Of Losing Our Edge 10 years of making magazines. Just imagine all the paper. All the trees. All the boxes and envelopes. The writers, photographers, artists. The editors. The graphic designers and interns. The distributors and the gasoline. The columns, the interviews, the photo essays and show

announcements. The meetings, emails and phone calls. The hustling with agents, advertisers and printers. Quite the operation, for us to get our message out into the world. About the art and music that we love. Voicing the unheard. Promoting the unpromoted. Banging the drums of our unbridled enthusiasm for unruly creativity. Did you receive our message? Was it loud and clear? Did it change your hearts and minds? Did it provide you with new insights? Something new to listen to? Did it challenge you, provoke you or annoy you? Or were you just enjoying the pictures, casually flipping through the pages while your friend was getting cocktails at the bar of De Nieuwe Anita? It doesn’t matter either way. As long as you were dipping your toes into the Subbacultcha universe. Cause it’s been quite the ride. And we were happy to have you with us. As a celebration, we’ve made this publication. It’s a thoroughly subjective selection of everything we have ever printed. The process of making alone was cleansing. Like a spring cleaning that makes way for what’s next. Cause the future will come, as always. But not before we embrace what’s behind us. Love from us, Subbacultcha

There are certain dreams that have symbolic meaning, like the one wher your teeth fall out. Do you have recurring dream like that? I have this dream a lot where I’m talking to rabbits. It starts with me and my brother walking into someone’s garden, because we think we see a rabbit. Then all of sudden there’s three of them. We’re having a nice chat and even help them over the fence. Then the owners of the garden After Midnight submitted come down and feel van nervous, by we Maurice Es October because we’re2013. not allowed to talk to strangers. Then I wake up.

There’s nothing wrong with hobbies. They help relieve the stress of everyday life and provide us with entertainment in these godless times of economic crisis and cultural animosity. Myself, I’ve never consciously had a hobby. Sure, I engage in a lot of activities that others might qualify as hobbies, but I’ve always had the naïve conviction that there should be no worktime and no playtime. There should be just one time and it’s called a lifetime. And while I am living that lifetime I am well aware that I’ve got no time to lose.

Pat Noecker from THESE ARE POWERS. November 2008.

Rob: Are you ever happy with your hair? I feel like I am on a constant quest for a good haircut. It’s consuming. Mary: I have never been happy with my hair. In my kindergarten photo, my hair turns under on one side and flips out on the other side. I remember hating that even when I was 5. Rob: Yeah.... Trauma. Mary: And I definitely wasn’t a vain little kid Rob: I had AWESOME hair, until I hit puberty and my hair turned to steel wool. My hair was pretty straight, with a slight

wave to it. Then 6th grade.... WHAM!! Did your parents ever hate your hair? Mary: No they’ve always been nice about it. I was always on a quest to make my hair look weird because I think I’m pretty plain looking. Rob: You are not plain looking!! Mary: Yes I am! But I’m okay with it. A conversation between Mary Pearson and Rob Barber from HIGH PLACES. October 2008. LEMONTRIP photographed by Isolde Woudstra in Utrecht, the Netherlands. October 2014.

The last two years were pretty strange years for me. Close friends passed away, my dog passed away, I was integrated into the proper adult world as a father, while not feeling all that ready for it. There’ s a lot of tension with finding your way, thinking you’ll never find it. That fine dust ended up infiltrating me. It’s inevitable. You can’t sew up the cracks, its gonna seep in finally and get inside your brain.

CHAD VANGAALEN interviewed by Brenda Bosma. September 2014.

LGBT rights. Feminism. Indigenous rights. Immigration rights. Those are all important to me. The right to be yourself, and be happy. I promote kindness and love more than anything.

ARIEL PINK interviewed by Brenda Bosma. June 2010.

Stop it, Toto! You’re making me cry.

That was my first cinema experience, but it didn’t quite frighten me as much. Mine was dumbo. I like that little elephant. He was the best. It was pretty scary though. What about the Secret of NIMH? (Starts singing ‘Somewhere over the Rainbow’).

Yeah, it really stirred up emotions of anxiety. What about Bambi?

Hmm, well I just remember my hero Mickey wearing an ass-masking dress. That changed something in my perception of men. And also that he wasn’t in a space/time-continuum that was familiar to me. Yeah, it was like a very bad dream where you were chased by dracula and then you’d trip and fall and fall forever.

By Jo Kalinowska. Summer 2017.

We can’t expect all music to be political, yet we can’t completely abstract a song from the political climate it arises. How would we even define protest music? These columnists are searching for today’s Bob Dylan and Nina Simone, but would that mode of lyrical, heartfelt singing be equipped for the social issues of our time?

Seth Bogart aka HUNX from HUNX & HIS PUNX photographed by Bobby Doherty in New York, USA. May 2012.

‘I get insane attacks of nostalgia over even the smallest things in the world.’

Oh no, I wouldn’t say that. I think aggression and violence, when involved directly with it, can be a way of... because it is so chaotic and so much is going on, it can be a way to forget yourself and commit yourself to the now. I guess that’s why it makes sense to me.

JAY REATARD photographed by Daniëlle van Ark for her series ‘After The Lights Go Out’. May 2009.

I am alarmingly close to the amp when London-based singer Farai belts out her famous ‘battle cry’ during a rehearsal at the Music Complex in Deptford, South London. Producer Tone gets deep into his synth magic, as if he is performing sorcery rather than music. ‘Wait,’ Farai interjects. ‘Is this working?’ And ‘how should I end this?’ Tone assuredly responds with: ‘just vibe it. You don’t even have to sing. Go in and touch the crowd. Be Jim Morrison. Be a rock star baby.’

Shehzaad Jiwani from GREYS interviewed by Koen van Bommel. November 2014.

FARAI interviewed by Layla Mahmood. Summer 2017.

We want to distort your mind with what we’re doing with our guitars and what not. We want to expand your idea of what you’re supposed to be getting from a rock ’n’ roll band. Because I think a lot of bands will give the audience what they want, but we prefer to give the audience what we think they need.

There’s so much sexual harassment today, the soft dick rock is the friendly relationship you can have with this charged symbol, you can hold hands with it and it won’t get hard. It’s not a parody, though, I just want to take it down a notch. No middle fingers, just soft dicks.

Being connected mostly means being disconnected from what’s happening around you.

Jacuzzis are weird, though. It can get pretty weird once you start adding Cameron Stallones from SUN ARAW photographed by jacuzzis.

Ik heb een vriendin die haar verkalkte teennagels het liefst op onze velours bank knipt, de mokken in het keukenkastje op kleur sorteert, en ten minste drie keer in de week burrito’s eet die ze vervolgens rijkelijk bestrooid met jongbelegen kaas. Waar is de tijd gebleven dat het licht op miraculeuze wijze een perfecte combinatie vormde met haar gezicht en we allebei met Rufus Wainwright meezongen?

Wow, if you put a jacuzzi in, you might never leave! It’s full of pretty cool stuff. This is my synth zone over here. Through that door you go downstairs and there’s a skateboard ramp. If I’m going crazy I go and skate for a while, then I come back up here.

I don’t quite understand. How do you stay true to yourself? In the light of an artist seen as an economic product, I mean? All of us as artists are stuck between two things. My authentic art has no financial framework. It doesn’t matter if I get paid for it, but then there’s the practical part of my life where money equals freedom to a certain extent and power to a certain extent. This album was a battle in that sense. When do I sell things? What I’ve decided to accept is that with every step I would make mistakes. I put to much pressure on myself, I think. TUNE YARDS interviewed by Brenda Bosma. May 2011.

I don’t think we made any of the songs as like, ‘let’s give people an alternative narrative to how to be in a relationship because that’s what the world needs right now’. It just ended up that way.

We are stronger when we are together. The personal is its own community of collaborations, relationships, allies. I tend to rant with this example, but really, look at your skin, consider your organs, your vascular system, gut flora, your skeleton – what a beautiful camaraderie of entities brought together by evolution’s struggle.

Will Oldham, aka BONNIE ‘PRINCE’ BILLY interviewed by Brenda Bosma. December 2013/January 2014.

Well, yesterday I was in a gondola, but that isn’t particularly wild. I live in London now and I grew up on the countryside. And when I lived there I did a lot of hiking and went hunting with my father and my dog. And now instead of that, I go shopping for clothes and visit cocktail bars. It kills your sense of adventure.

I have a soft spot for college basketball that leaves me without most of my March, because I’m glued to a TV or constantly checking the Internet for scores all month (that’s tournament time!)... And then sometimes I’ll eat an XL pizza, all by myself, after coming home from the bar, late at night. Late-night snack fest.

Are you also interested in thoughts, feelings and actions? As a kid I would walk around at night and walk past people’s houses and I’d be dying to know what happened there – like, if someone was folding clothes or eating a bowl of cornflakes, anything like that. I haven’t gotten passed this idea that everybody is unknown or mysterious. When I have the opportunity I like the questions to be able to go deeper without making someone feel uncomfortable or violated.

We’ve been spending a lot of time at Secret Project Robot Art Experiment, this art space-slash-studio complex in Brooklyn where we play together and record stuff. The weather has been great so we’ve been barbecuing a lot. Vashti makes these amazing tofu and pineapple shish kebabs, she marinades them in something magic. You can add pretty much any kind of vegetable to them, we’ve had these with peppers, asparagus, onions. Tofu and pineapple and asparagus might sound like a strange mix but it actually tastes really good! We just eat these shish kebabs straight off the stick, sitting on a folding chair in this sunny communal gravelled lot right in the middle of Brooklyn. I guess that’s what our music is like too: a skewer of five musicians with some instruments, including a saxophone, making a lot of skronky noise, and somehow it all comes together! Now that you got me thinking about food and cooking, I might look into recording some madsounding kitchen appliances for our repertoire. Where can I find a blender around here?

I’m confused, these guys are idiots. I’m going to put on the new Kaiser Chiefs album again.

What should be the main feeling or idea readers get from this interview?

I’ll never be one of those cool people. I’m way too anxious. Robert Toher from ERAAS interviewed by Koen van Bommel. May 2013.

The almighty boring rock scene constructed of clichés thought of and used by TV shows, alcohol brands, game developers, clothing brands, belt factories, sticker designers, guitar brands, etc. And since the connotations of the genre are so farreaching that it covers about anything that has a drum and guitar in it, I am considered to be a part of it. And yes, so are you, reading this ‘subversive’ little music magazine (you can’t deny all the advertisements in here can À TROIS pho MÉNAGE you?). by Nicole Dyson, Manch

We’ve somewhat moved forward in the brand-new year of 2011. Now tell us, how does it feel? Is your spirit as high as it was when you popped those corks? Are you as inspired as you were when you kissed your loved ones and promised them that 2011 was gonna be ‘the best year ever’? ‘Hell yeah!’ they said, ‘best year ever!’ But making a year the best year ever takes effort, perseverance, spirit and inspiration. In other words, bloody hard work. So yes, we decided to make this the inspiration issue. Just to keep you going. To keep that momentum. To keep up that stamina and creativity you are famous for. Your extensive knowledge of culture, past and present. Your love, your art, your work, your creation. Your life! February 2011.

KAREN GWYER interviewed by Basje Boer. February 2014.

I like to be liked – people do – but I’ve always been a bit of an outsider, and I don’t mean in a romantic way.

Criticism sucks. But hey, to each his or her own. I certainly go on rants about certain pieces of music, so if I can dish it out, I can take it. STARGAZE photographed by Lonneke vanto der Palen in Amsterdam, Although I refuse dish it out the Netherlands. Winter 2017. in public. I feel embarrassed for music critics sometimes.

I’m freed by the fact that I don’t have to make dance music for people. It’s amazing that you can light a room on fire in 20 minutes, but there’s also this certain aspect photographed where as Katieentertainment Stelmanis from AUSTRA much as I love I’m like, ‘Fuck it! by Isolde Woudstra in it Amsterdam, the Netherlands October 2011.

FAKA is a Zulu word which initially means to enter or penetrate. It’s a sexual innuendo but it also puts a lot of power on queer and femme identities. It also means to occupy. That’s something we do at spaces that exclude us.

PATTEN interviewed by Brenda Bosma. April 2014. €15 Outfit by Yun Sudrajat inspired by a creepy Disney character photographed by Isolde Woudstra. April 2013.

The other day I saw a woman holding a newborn baby. Every time there was a change in the environment, it got upset. This child didn’t know the difference between the tram riding by or feeling hungry, a deeply confusing situation to be in. As people it pays to have some sense of understanding, to know this is my own hand, this is how gravity works. But there’s also danger about preconceived ideas in that they can allow you to miss what’s actually there.

Typical Pisces! For instance, Best Coast’s Bethany sings about superficial stuff like buying t-shirts for her boyfriends all the time. How many t-shirts can you buy? That’s so Gemini. Geminis are known for being very superficial (chuckles). I get personal and straightforward on a different level. On my other records the lyrics were more conceptual.

The term ‘abstract’ is like a cage for the idea of abstract. I know that cage really well. That’s why sometimes I hate words, especially when they are meant to define an idea, a sound, a vision.

...It was the middle of the night and he was like, ‘who do you think you are, trying to get a hotel room in the middle of the night? You better go in there and pretend to be Robert De Niro’ and I was like, ‘I don’t need to pretend to be Robert De Niro, I’m Dr. Lasagna!’

I saw Beyoncé vibing out to Balam Acab in a L’Oreal commercial the other day. Did you get paid for that? Yeah of course, it’s L’Oreal. That kind of thing has to be handled in a very business kind of manner. They would never use someone’s music without his or her permission. Now Balam Acab can make the album he wants to make with that money.

I could be a monkish composer if I wanted. But I choose to be involved in a global community. I prefer to have direct conversations about what’s DAN DEACON photographed by Andrew happening on the planet right now. Laumann in Baltimore, USA. September 2012. I think music has this tendency to be navel-gazing and escapist, but it’s not the right time now. We need music to wake the fuck up and start engaging in a bigger conversation about things. We as a music community don’t just have to roll over and accept the status quo.

Caleb from TWEAK BIRDS, questionaire by Brenda Bosma. September 2011.

D. Other, namely: Ashton practices being awesome two hours a day. Basically, he always wants more in the music and performance, so if I don’t give it to him, he’ll make it happen on his own. I guess in that way he’s my puppet. I bet he thinks that I’m his puppet, but, no. I just kind of bring my own energy to the band. Sometimes I’m hot and sometimes I’m cold. He’s finicky too. Tweaky if you will.

C. Like Roger Daltry, he eats a lot of Heinz Oven Baked Beans with Tomato Sauce, which contain serious amounts of iron.

B. He actually also plays my guitar on stage, that’s why I wear this massive native Indian head dress to cover that up.

A. In his mind he’s the chosen one.

First off, do you have any guilty pleasures? I don’t feel guilty about anything I take pleasure in. I hate it when people say: ‘Oh, Britney Spears is my guilty pleasure.’ I say, own it. It’s stupid, but own it.

How does Ashton manage to simultaneously play the drums, keyboard, sing, keep his glasses on and be all-round awesome?

What draws you to all this discomfort?

and it would be dishonest to not address it. I mean, it’s an unusual topic in the context of underground music now, but it certainly wasn’t in the industrial scene in the ’70s and ’80s, and that’s what a lot of punks were about. That’s music that’s always been interesting to me and continues to interest me.

More than anything else, being excessively familiar with it. As a child, I was overly exposed to things I should not have been exposed to, so it feels normal. I don’t feel ‘damaged’ but my boundaries are probably wider than they should be.

One thing about holidays: Every moment of existence should be treated with the same reverence with which we treat summer hoidays. Remaking our understanding of ‘holiday’ means rejecting the image of ourselves we inherit from dominator culture that of a worker, someone whose leisure must be compartmentalised into units, and who is somehow deserving exclusion from paradise. Paradise - summer holiday - is a state of mind that can be claimed by any one of us.

The memories I have from that period have been untouched by all my other experiences; they exist in a separate part of my brain, which is why I wanted to base my music on them. They are feelings that I cannot describe in words, so I just try to make music about them instead. When you are a child you don’t judge the world around you, you just take it as your reality and I think that’s beautiful.

Brian Bocherdt and Graham Alsh from HOLY FUCK interviewed by Bas Morsch. May 2010.

It’s true. Not only was Allen Ginsberg an early hipster, they were referred to as white negroes back then, there’s also a great quote from anti-consumerist mag Adbusters: ‘hipsterdom is the first “counterculture” to be born under the advertising industry’s microscope, leaving it open to constant manipulation but also forcing its participants to continually shift their interests and affiliations.’ JANA HUNTER photographed by Shane Smith, in Baltimore, USA. Spring 2015.

Do you ever get bored? I guess nowadays it’s hard to get bored, there’s constant fucking entertainment. Even when you take a shit, you’re on your email or whatever. I don’t get bored that often.

It feels like we are creating almost an international community of people who are feeling the same about music and respond to each other and have sort of an artistic conversation. That’s when it gets to be the most interesting... That’s when music as an art form moves forward.

In the context of this issue, an interview with Will Oldham – aka Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy – was high on our wishlist. Immediately we ran into closed doors; Will Oldham is famously quiet. Then we got a mysterious email: ‘So, we heard you’d like to speak to Bonnie?’
