FEATURE 16: NO AGE

WORDS: MONIKA MOGI

I met and interviewed NO AGE at Daikanyama Unit in Tokyo before their show awhile ago..

Randy Randall and Dean Spunt make up NO AGE. Interviewing people from L.A. was so refreshing since I grew up in Huntington Beach, they were also hilarious. Talked about California, smoking weed, tofu and 90's jams.

Hey guys, are you liking Tokyo so far?

Dean: I like the food.

Anything specific?

Randy: FRESHNESS BURGER

(Freshness Burger is a fast food restaurant in Japan)

D: So good, they have a tofu burger. We're both vegan so eatings a little difficult but yeah Freshness Burger is awesome, we went there today.

What do you think about the Japanese audience? Most bands think that the crowd here is usually quiet, like when you pause inbetween songs..

R: But we don't really pause inbetween songs much..

D: It's a little more quiet than most American audiences

R: I don't know, last night they were grabbing my guitar. They were cool.

D: I think if anything its just the cultural difference, like maybe they're more polite with the shouting?

What's your favorite song to play live?

D: Hmmm, that's a good question...

R: Well we have two new songs on the set so it's more fun. The rest we've played quite a bit.

We have a new one called Fever Dreaming, it's fun.

D: I like playing 'Teen Creeps'.

I think thats my favorite. I also like your instrumental You is My Hot Rabbit, what is that about anyway?

R: That's the myspace jam! I got the name from a translation into french. My girlfriend at the time wrote me a letter all in french and I had to go to google translator, cut and paste it because I didn't know how to read it.

That's super romantic..

D: Awww

R: At the end of the letter it said You is my Hot Rabbit, I don't know what that meant... I'm not sure what she actually meant to say in french but I thought that was the best phrase ever, so I named the song after that. We actually only played that live once.

Are you gonna play it tonight?

R: Umm, naw

You should!

D: We haven't practiced it.

R: That would be a fun one to play though

You should dedicate it!

D: Haha yeah to the kids, man!

What's your favorite song in general than?

R: Ahh man probably "Wild Combination" by Arthur Russell. He's amazing. Electronic cellist from New York in the 70s. It's very hauntingly beautiful.

D: Ace of Base.

D+R: Allllll that she wants is another baby, she's gone tomorrow..

I know you guys support all age bands and gigs. Did you ever have any fake IDs when you couldn't get into venues?

R: I had a fake one. I worked at a movie theater in Hollywood and somebody had dropped their ID. It belonged to some 35 year old guy from Florida. So, I was 19 with this guy's ID..

D: It's hard memorizing the birthday

R: Yeah, they sometimes ask 'Are you a Scorpio or a Capricorn?'

D: Or your height!

How were you guys like when you were teenagers? Dorky... gangster..

D: Hmm, GANGSTA. No, I was kinda cool? I was a music dork and skateboarded alot. But when I was like 12, I was a little bit of a gangster..

Haha me too! Like listening to Biggie, Eminem, A Tribe Called Quest...

D: YEAH!

And than I got into the Smiths, Joy Division..

D: Aw man, thats a big thing when you hear The Smiths for the first time.

R: 16, clumsy and shy..

I went to London and...

(we continued to sing Half a Person for a while)

One word to describe NO AGE is...

R: ROCK!

What? Pick a cooler one..

R: Ballsagna.

D: No, breathtakinglyloud.

Three things you can't live without are..

D: tofu

R: guitar strings

D: and good shoes

What's your favorite kind of shoe than?

D: I'm reaaaally into Zig Zags.

How many pairs do you own?

D: Umm probably about 20.

What was the craziest thing to happen on tour?

D: This is gonna take a while..

Pick something out there, something psychedelic..

D: Something the kids are gonna be like 'woooaah'?

R: I know. Smoking weed with Kevin Shields from My Bloody Valentine.

D: Or smoking weed with GZA from Wu-Tang Clan.

I'm jealous. What makes the perfect party?

D: 90's jams and Boone's Farm, the wine that comes in a box!

Any last words or advice?

R: Start your own band and fuck shit up.

D: If you play music, keep playing music and don't let anyone tell you not to.

He would always laugh and say"Remember when we used to play?"

Bang bang, I shot you down

FEATURE 15: OUT HERE OVER THERE

Out Here Over There is a photoblog made by three friends Alex Howard, Simon Nunn

and Sophie Curtis. Based in England, each photographer

shoots everyday situations and adventures

with that dreamy film we all love...

OUT HERE OVER THERE interview for BAISER MAGAZINE (Feature #15)

BAISER MAGAZINE:Okay, first off how did Out Here Over There start? How did all three of you meet and who came up with the idea of starting a blog?

ALEX: we've all known each other for a long time, before any of us picked up a camera. we come from one of those small towns where everyone knows everyone.. we used to go shoot photos, drop them off at the photo lab and then look through each others prints. then i moved away, and obviously we couldn't do that anymore. so we made this blog to share our photos with each other.

SIMON: It started when Alex came back from University and we were all together and we had a conversation about how we were all tired of Flickr then Alex came up with the idea of sharing a blog together, a couple of days later we got a name and the rest is history.

SOPHIE: We decided to make the blog so we could share the photos that we liked with each other, rather than ones we thought were “good”. The name is fitting because me and Si are “out here” and Alex is “over there”!

BM: What camera(s) do you use? Do you prefer film or digital?

A: whatever fits in my pocket and i don't have to worry about breaking. film always.

SI: Go between SLR and point n’ shoot, film all the way.

SO: I always use 35mm point and shoots - I’ve never had the patience for SLRs, I wish I did. Never digital.

BM: What makes a photograph special to you? Do you look for any meaning or story when shooting?

A: i can't really tell you what makes a photograph special to me, because i like different photos for different reasons.. and as for looking for a meaning or story when shooting, i don't consciously go out and look for it. i think most of my photos have a meaning / story, but its usually not apparent until later on.

SO: I try to keep things spontaneous, so I never really try to put meaning into things - its nice that people can interpret photography in their own way.

BM: Do you carry a camera wherever you go? Where is your favourite place to shoot?

A: yeah i always have a camera with me.my favourite place to shoot is somewhere that i haven't been before.

SI: Yes I do, and any natural environment, the woods especially.

SO: A camera is the only thing that I take everywhere with me. My favourite places to take photos are really intimate places like bedrooms or natural lonely places like forests.

BM: What is in the future for Out Here Over There or for each of you individually?

A: i don't know, we'll see.

SI: Who knows, see what happens.

SO: Its not something we’re trying to push in a direction, however it progresses is fine.

BM: What do you like to do besides taking photos?

A: chill

SI: Words.

SO: Anything new.

BM: Do you have any favourite artists/photographers at the moment?

A: don van vliet, billy childish, william christenberry, richard billingham, albert fish..

SI: Andreas Banderas & Melanie Bonajo

SO: I will always love Janfamily, Nan Goldin, Joel Meyerowitz, plus so many more.

BM: Three things you can't live without are..

A: 1. music 2. beer 3. camera

SI: 1. Camera 2. Music 3. Vitamin c

SO: 1. A camera 2. Time in the countryside 3. New things

BM: One word to describe Out Here Over There is..

SI: Beefheart.

SO: Coming-together-ness

BM: Where was your first kiss?

SI: In the snow.

SO: Somewhere generic

BM: Do you kiss and tell?

SI: I like to give out a little.

SO: Only to certain people.
