Interview and
introduction by Tony Rettman
Like many other
bing-bongs, I consider that FNU Ronnies 12” that came out on Load a few months
ago entitled Saddle Up to be an early
contender for the shit house jumper of the year. If you don’t agree, look deep
inside your own pee hole until you see God.
This interview was
conducted across the inter-electrical/galactic airwaves and it was engineered
by Captain Warlock.
200LBU: From what I
know, you guys are sorta scattered around the country presently. True?
FNU: True. True Blue. Philly, San Francisco and parts unknown. Because we recorded and later mixed the songs before and after tours, it created an urgency and focus that I don’t think would have happened otherwise. It took way too long but for different reasons.

200LBU:Was it a pain in the ass to record the
record with everyone all over the place?
FNU: Everything is a pain in the ass. That’s why we seek salvation in music catharsis and hope a shaman or two winks a nod.

200LBU: What's the
reason for having members in Philly and San Fran?
FNU: Jim’s always had his sights set on the Pacific and when the opportunity presented itself, he took it.

200LBU: What are the
pros and cons of each city? Where does Max Milgram factor in on the Philly
list?
FNU: Philly's location makes it great for touring. Max is pro for his encyclopedic knowledge of gutter rock and gastronomy, not in that particular order. Philly good points: Touring locale, soft pretzels, home town sports pride, and the Liberty Bell. Sun Ra lived here and the people are real! SF good points: Beautiful sweeping vistas that are awe inspiring. USA Mexican food. The Tamale lady. Accessibility. People watching as a sport. Bad points: Philly, too much negativity too many white sneakers and sweatpants. SF: Disneyland psych ward new age new Babylon that’s burning and set to implode. People are fake.

200LBU: Is it just
me, or does Saddle Up show a more
Psychedelic edge than previous FNU fare?
FNU: Yeah, we think so. It took a while for someone to actually point that out. Psychedelic music has been very influential in our sound; we merely cut and paste virtual sound schematics w/ the new DSMV V manual on emerging Nano-tech distribution of eight way optical halogrammatics for the upcoming holo-deck space olympics. Too many illicit substances, lack of sleep, bronchial infections, and depression of moon bones hyper pulled this simulated direction.

200LBU: What’s the
average diet of an FNU and how does it affect the music you think?
FNU: Pizza, beer, tacos. Result: Idiotic frenzy via cro -magnon neo cave spirit vs. the slow food movement.

200LBU: What kind of
reaction are you looking for with Saddle
Up?
FNU: Play the record over and over, and then give us money, awards, etc. Saddle up and impregnate. Be dumb as possible. Be excited. Cry.

200LBU: Do you dudes
play in other bands besides FNU? What else do you dudes do besides jam?
FNU: One played in another band but got kicked out ‘cause he didn’t wear enough eyeliner. Cold gut glory. The other gets up in the morning and sits in his bedroom all day in front of the mirror like Tom Cruise in his underwear with a brook stick in Risky Business. Hot shit story. The other one is keeping time all the time. God like fury

200LBU: And finally…what
does Kurt Vile’s sperm taste like?FNU: Just like Max Milgram's but not like Neil Young’s
