fluxus- book-10-16-95

Welcome to AOL Live!
CEddy14: Hey everybody
CAaronSP: Yo yo yo
Online Host: Are you ready to answer some questions tonight?
CEddy14: I hope so
CAaronSP: Bring the noise
Online Host: Our first question comes from Mollmall39
Mollmall39: Hey guys when iz the book coming out???
CEddy14: We’re hoping for Spring, next year
CAaronSP: Most of it’s done, and there’s been no news about them lately
Catmom19: In yr research have you found unreleased material?
CEddy14: Theres been 2 avenues, what’s been bootlegged, and what’s been
registered for copyright
CAaronSP: A substantial amount of unreleased material.
CEddy14: Some titles are- Chalkboard, Trying, Slowly, He Clicked, No
One Gets It, Untitled, God 41, Nothing Like Europe, Chocolate
Milk And Underdog , Politick, Regressions, Reflections, And
Obsessions, When, Why And How Are You Happy, Pro-Lesbo, Posse,

Colourful, Ode To A Sister Who’s A Real Mother, MTV Slut, The
Empty Case, Christ On The Cross, Yes, Story Of X, Cesar
Unfinished, The Stalker
SeaTac49: Amaing. What can you tell us about that unreleased stuff?
CAaronSP: Boo-ya. We only have definite info on a few. Trying and
No One Getz Itt are two of Rich’s depressive bedroom nervous
breakdown pieces from early 94.
CEddy14: Chocolate Milk & Underdog is from Nazareth, Politick, which is
totally a throwaway appears to be too.
CAaronSP: Regressions, Reflections, And Obessions is sort of a precursor
to Prostate Of The Union. Rich wrote both in the summer of
1994 in wisconsin.
CEddy14: Nothing Like Europe, Whine, Generation X Mtv Anthem, and
Colourful are all later on in the fall of ’94.
BearsFan1: Any jamming unreleased stuff from 95?
CAaronSP: The Stalker is the most recent thing we discovered. From over
the Summer. Chrst On Tha Cross and Yes are the last things
rich did at Nazareth. The Empty Case is indicitave of where
his writing is heading next. Less conventional. Less
political. He’s threatening to write a novel.
OJisInnocent: Rich has talked about his depression last year. What did he
write during that?
CEddy14: The bulk of No One Will Ever Love You. But specifics that we
know are Ah, Romance comes from Nazareth, and seeme to be
about Chris Kelly.
AngryGrrl63: Was there any actual romance between them?
CEddy14: No. The rest of the nervous breakdown stuff that you might
know are things like Green, Parental Guidance, the two I Don’t
Knows, and Untiotled Unforunately.
CubsFan23: What about some of the stuff I might tnow know?
CAaronSP: Great question. Cuz we all know what you don’t know.
Suicidal & Sunburned is a Nazareth piece. Jesus Not Jesus and
Ode To A Sister Whose A Real Mother are both really funny and
obviously tied to Naz stuff.
CEddy14: Afraid of the dark was an intended epic. Whatever You Think
 was written on a piece of carbon paper at The Music Loft.
DJPhatVibes2: The Fluxxxus are funny?! Have you seen the clit spanking
movie???
CAaronSP: Yes, for fucks sake were writing a book about them. Also
funny are the ridiculous group collaborations like Grung
Assault and I Rock. If you look at the draft of I Rock, you
can see a “t” column and a “j” column for their parts. For
Grunge Assault, Tim would do his much loved Eddie Vedder
impression.
KurdtFan67: Sup w/the krayze stylee of They Never Felt Sorrow
CEddy14: It’s much newer. Apparently Rich wrote it at his fancy new
digs at Columbia. I thin k he’s going throughalot right now.
As he said recently “I write letters to people and don’t
recognize the things I say”. And They Never Felt Sorrow makes
a lot of sense in that context.
Online Host: Okay, we’re going to do something fun. You name your favorite
thing Ric, Jon, The Fluxus etc. have done, and Chuck and
Charles will give you their first thoughts! Welcome to the
Lightning Round!
BCorgan2: Prostate Of The Union
CEddy14: One of his best. We talked about this one a little already.
Rich documents the scene
Stpey1: Cunning Linguistics
CAaronSP: Summer 94. Rich was hanging around GJ and Rooney a lot. You
could see their influence.
JHatfield69: D-Cup Armageddon
CEddy14: Summer 94 again. Rich wrote this while he was watching Chuck
D and making a collage
Str8K8: Hamburger Helper
CAaronSP: This is from early September 94. I think he wrote this at Naz
LollaKid34: (Mindjacker)
CEddy14: The epic! Rich mostly improvised this. A lot of influences
here, Jello Biafra, Chuck D, but I really think it’s about GJ
TeenGang42: Madness Is The First Sign Of Dandruff
CAaronSP: Fall stuff, another one I think from Nazareth.
LubeJob6: New York
CEddy14: More stuff from the Fall. He did this in one night.
LilAnnie1: (Smells Like) Ass-Ass-Ination
CAaronSP: Wrote it in his bedroom, Dec. 1994.
PKomp: Close Captioned For The Thought Impaired
CEddy14: Rich was just changing the channels when he wrote this.
DiamondSea22: Celestal Bliss
CAaronSP: Probably the closest Jon & Rich collaboration. Bodes well for
the future.
OnoSoul24: Pork & Bacon
CEddy14: Another Spring 95 tirade written at Nazareth
CreamySpies7: Stoner Boy
CAaronSP: Another Spring 95 tirade written at Nazareth
WomenWomen: Love 2000
CEddy14: One of Rich’s worst. Apparently he wanted to write some kind
of futuristic piece, and it’s a dud. One of the last things
that he wrote at Nazareth, and really it probably shouldnty
have ever been released.
Online Host: Well, that's all for tonight, folks! Thanks to our audience
for joining us here and thanks to CEddy14 & CAaronSP for their
insights into their upcoming book! Thank you and good night!
