_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [Abm] Hello friends, this is Christopher Gonda from [A] Pure Grain [B] Audio.
Welcome to another episode
of My Hand is Cold.
My guest today, _ Buzz [N] Osborne from the Mevlins.
_ Mevlins?
Mevlin.
_ [B] Mevlins.
Get it right.
Sorry.
It's your show. _ _
[Bm] You even read it off the card though.
[Ab] My mom does my notes.
She does my notes.
[E] How are you [F] related to Buzz [E] Aldrin?
Well, you know, I met him, it was [Bb] a gay marriage thing.
_ [B] _ Actually, you know, the American Space
Program, how's the Canadian Space [E] Program coming?
_ _ [A] Do what?
Canadian Space Program.
How's that coming?
_ Do we have [Em] one?
I don't know.
You tell me. _
[Ab] I don't know.
[B] I don't know either.
[E] _ Gay marriage.
Are you guys in full support of gay marriage? _ _
_ _ _ Who, me?
Yeah, yeah.
[Bb] It's your show.
I like [Em] gay marriage.
You're into it?
Mm-hmm.
[Gb] I think it's fine, but you know one thing they haven't thought of? _ _ _
Gay marriage, _ _ haven't
these people suffered enough?
[B] Now you're going to make them get married?
Mm.
_ Because marriage is [Gm] terrible.
_ [B] _ _
Yeah, yeah.
I've read that you're a fan of baseball.
_ _ [A] Somewhat, yeah.
Why are you [G] a fan of such a boring [B] sport? _ _ _
Well, you know, it's not a clock sport, and _ it's for, you know, more intelligent type of people.
That's probably _ why.
People like baseball.
People that have a little more intelligence like it.
I don't like it.
Maybe.
I just met you, so I can't make that judgment.
But if you don't like it, you think
it's boring, _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ maybe it's because you're stupid. _
The ninth song on [A] your new album is called War Pussy.
[A] Why are you [Abm] so angry at [E] vaginas? _
_ _ [C] _ It could be about that.
It could also be about somebody who doesn't want to go to [B] war.
Oh.
Could be.
[A] So there's [Ab] multiple.
Maybe.
I thought there was [G] just one [B] interpretation. _ _ _
Well, _ _ _ I hadn't really thought about it.
_ Maybe you're right. _
So you_
[E] Why do we hate vaginas?
Well, that goes back to the gay marriage thing.
And the penis thing.
_ _ See, it all connects.
_ _ _ _ Check Wackipedia. _
_ Actually, I think that's a porn site, so be careful with that.
_ _ I have two more questions.
Okay.
Yeah, fine with me.
It's your show. _ _
It's your show.
You can ask as many or as few as you'd like.
Thank you.
Absolutely.
I don't want to be gay.
_ [Db] I know.
I believe in artistic freedom.
[Bb] Have you met Justin Trudeau?
I don't even know who it is.
_ [B] He's the leader of our country.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
No, I've never met him.
He's my cousin.
Really? _ _
Then what are you doing in this leaky punk rock basement? _ _
Artistic freedom.
I suppose. _
Look how far it's brought you.
_ He brought me down.
_ _ _ Yeah. _
_ _ _ _ Well, yeah.
I'm just going to check.
Is that him calling?
No, I just made [Ab] sure it's not [Gb] important.
_ _ Is it? _
Do you want medication?
Not yet. _ _
You will be by the end of this interview.
_ _ Nothing's kicking in, are you sure?
_ [Bb] _ No.
[E] Not even a little?
You're not on anything even a little?
_ Come on, just a little?
Not yet.
You didn't take anything earlier?
No.
I have to do work.
_ What are you going to [Bb] do?
An [A] interview.
Where do you [Bb] work?
At an interview [Bb] place. _
Do they pay you to do that?
[A] I run the company.
So you don't get paid?
No.
That's how it works. _
Kind of like music industry.
[Bm] _ _ _ _
Ipecac makes me puke. _ _
Does it make you puke?
_ Generally.
_ You're releasing your album on Ipecac Records?
Or recordings?
A record label that makes you vomit.
Will you hold my hair while I listen to your album?
You don't have any hair. _
_ _ _ If it grows out, I will. _
I can try that.
It wasn't very nice. _
You asked.
_ You don't get any. _
_ Where do you get your hair done?
It's a hair don't.
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
Think I can go to the same place?
Sure.
Just let it do whatever it wants.
If you let it go, it will actually grow.
You don't have to cut it.
Nobody's forcing you to cut it.
I know.
I'm just not conscious.
Why?
_ _ _ Do you have a straight job? _ _
_ No.
[E] You don't have to do that.
You can do whatever you want.
Do you have a regular job?
Yes.
Where do you work?
_ I don't work [B] anywhere right now.
Where would you like to work?
That would force you to have to shave your head. _
_ _ Where would you work?
Can I pick anything?
You have a haircut like that.
In order to do something that would probably find you employment.
I'm assuming.
_ _ So what sort of employment are you trying to find with a shaved head?
[Bb] A amusement park.
Is it a racist type of thing?
Because skinheads are racist.
I'm not racist.
But you want to look like a racist.
_ _ No.
[E] _ _ I'm trying to not look like a skinhead who are racist.
So I'm an anti-racist haircut.
Sure.
See?
I'm not a racist.
[B] You look like a racist. _
_ _ So I'm assuming that you're looking for a job that includes racism.
Is that true? _
I haven't thought that deeply about it yet.
Well, you know, when you're walking down the street, people are going to look at you.
Like if I was an employer looking to hire somebody and you walked in,
the first thing I'd think is _ gay racist.
That's the first thing I'd think.
Okay, so, _ [E] and I appreciate this.
Yeah.
You're saying grow out hair.
I walk in, the first thing they don't think is gay racist.
Right.
You know, that's not the first thing they think.
They might think psychopathic weirdo, but not gay racist.
That's better.
[B] Maybe, I don't know, but they're not going to think gay racist.
We'll have to ask our fans.
Yeah, I don't know.
_ Psychopathic weirdo is not gay racist.
It's different.
_ _ _ [E] For better or worse.
I'm not saying one is better than the other, but it's not the same.
_ _ Thank you for your time today.
Thank you.
Buzz Armstrong.
Thank you.
Yeah.
