Im Gespräch mit Tobias Freund über “Take Away/The Lure Of Salvage” von Andy Partridge (1980).
Auf Deiner Myspace-Seite steht, dass Du seit 1980 Musiker bist, das Jahr also, in dem “Take Away/The Lure Of Salvage” erschien. Ich nehme an, Du warst schon früh ein Fan von XTC?
Die erste Platte von XTC hab ich 1979 entdeckt, „Go 2“. Ich lebte damals in Frankfurt am Main und bin mit meinem Freund öfters nach der Schule in einen Plattenladen nach Offenbach gefahren. Es war einer der einzigen Läden zu der Zeit, der neue außergewöhnliche Platten verkaufte. Ich erinnere mich, dass es immer total spannend war in den Laden zu fahren, man hat immer irgendetwas Neues, Unbekanntes gefunden. Neben XTC hab ich unter anderem das „Black And White“-Album der Stranglers entdeckt, auch eine meiner damaligen Lieblingsplatten. Mich hat immer sehr das Artwork einer Platte angesprochen, ich hab mir des Öfteren platten “blind” gekauft, allein weil mir das Cover gefallen hat. Meistens bin ich nicht enttäuscht worden. Bei „Go 2“ war es genau so, das Cover hat mich gleich fasziniert, noch heute finde ich es eines der besten Artworks, simpel und effektiv. Weiße Schrift auf schwarzem Untergrund über die ganze Vorder- und Rückseite. In dem Text wird das Artwork erklärt und der Leser wird manipuliert die platte zu kaufen. Ich habe die Idee des Covers für die nsi.-Veröffentlichungen auf meinem Label Non Standard Productions aufgegriffen. Allerdings nur das Layout, Courier ist seitdem für mich der Punk unter den Fonts.
Waren XTC eine typische Band dieser frühen Post Punk-Phase, oder waren sie einzigartig?
Für mich waren XTC einzigartig, sie waren frischer, witziger und haben sich nicht zu ernst genommen, außerdem sind es unglaublich gute Musiker. Sie haben sich mehr getraut gewohnte Strukturen aufzubrechen, auf ihren Platten gab es immer Experimente. Zum Beispiel konnte Andy Partridge seine Stimme wie ein Instrument einsetzen, er hat versucht jedem Lied eine eigene Note zu geben, zornig, verrückt oder hysterisch. Read the rest of this entry »
Nobody can tell ya There’s only one song worth singing They may try and sell ya Cause it hangs them up To see someone like you
You gotta make your own kind of music Sing your own special song Make your own kind music Even if nobody else sings along
It can’t be nowhere The loneliest kind of lonely It may be Just to do your thing is the hardest things to do
You gotta make your own kind of music Sing your own special song Make your own kind music Even if nobody else sings along
And if you will not take our hand Then we must be going, we’ll understand

In discussion with Appleblim on “Laughing Stock” by Talk Talk (1991).
How and when was your first encounter with Talk Talk?
Well, I grew up with ’Life’s What You Make it’ and ‘It’s my life’ being played on Top Of The Pops and Radio 1 as I was a kid, so those are kind of part of my makeup, you know in that strange way that all the pop music u grew up with is just part of your brain make-up almost, it rubs off on you, and I loved those songs even before I really knew why…
What made you choose “Laughing Stock”? Why is it so important to you?
From there I didn’t really hear of them again until I joined a band in 1994-ish. The two guitarists were big fans of Talk Talk, but the later stuff. I’d not heard it before. They were really big albums with a big circle of friends of theirs, in Plymouth where I had moved to as a teenager. “Spirit Of Eden” came first, then “Laughing Stock”, and I just couldn’t get enough of them. They are completely associated in my mind and memory with some really amazing people and a period in my life that had a big effect on me. Obviously those teenage years are intense and I just remember two albums, along with Bert Bansch ‘It Don’t Bother Be’, Nick Drake ‘Pink Moon’, Pentangle ‘Basket Of Light’, XTC ‘Skylarking’, Autechre ‘Amber’, Orbital green and brown albums, they were what we listened to most, in the bedsits, smoking dope, being skint, on the dole, making music in bands….an intense time, but looking back totally magical.
There were the two veteran goth girls generously trying to teach goth dance moves to a veteran mod in the backyard of a hater’s party where the wall once stood. One deckchair, a bench, and a table were destroyed in the process. The veteran goth girls were still able to perform the moves most authentically, but the veteran mod failed disastrously due to stubborn groovyness, and not being able to remember that it’s one step forward, two steps back, and not the other way round. He could not produce the claws of desperation and a doomed expression either. This for you, veteran goth girls!
