Unquiet
Void interview May 2nd, 1997
Unquiet Void is probably best known for several compilation appearances including one with a collaboration with Lycia. Unquiet Void is dark ambient stuff. also present at the interview was Tara of Lycia. QRD – are you still planning to release stuff on your own label & what are the benefits or problems with that? Jason – yes & the benefit is I can have complete & utter control over it. the problem is I'm trying to figure out how feasible it really is at the moment. QRD – what crowd of people do you think would be the most accepting of your music? Jason – I'm not sure. I'd certainly like to stray away from the gothic industrial scene, that's just not where it's coming from. QRD – which is a more derogatory term, man or boy? Jason – boy. I don't know why. QRD – how many people would you say are in your potential sales market? Jason – how many people? I don't have any idea. I hear from people like Mike Van Portfleet that from all these compila-tions I've been on, that all these people are like, "Unquiet Void blah-blah-blah-blah" & no one writes to me so I have no idea. QRD – what's the most rock & roll thing you've ever done & the most goth thing you've ever done? Jason – the most rock & roll thing I've ever done was a song called "Dust" & the most goth thing I ever did was that same song. QRD – I was talking about in life, not just in music. Jason – oh, the most rock & roll thing I ever did, I'd have to say, was cow tipping & the most goth thing I ever did was put on black nail polish. QRD – do you want to play live at all & if so how often? Jason – yeah, once in a great while. I'll start off slow & see how it goes. QRD – how many times a year, four? Jason – probably. hell, once a year if I could hack it. I'd like to play at something like the Projekt festival. QRD – what's your favorite love song? Jason – "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" by Roberta Flack & I happen to like Cindytalk's version much better. Tara ? how could you not? Kristy (Jason's fiancee) ? I thought it was "Night & Day?" Jason – no, "Night & Day" is also, but my absolute favorite if I absolutely had to pick one would be that. QRD – what's your favorite Swans' song? Jason – "Mona Lisa." QRD – do you believe in unconditional love? Jason – yes. QRD – just like that, huh? is that from humans to humans? Jason – yes. I love my cat & that's unconditional love, but I also believe there's unconditional love in humans. QRD – what action figure would you most like to be? Jason – hold on a second. I think I'd like to be... Bane. QRD – that's from Batman? Jason – yeah, he broke Batman's back. QRD – any older ones? Jason – how old? QRD – like the seventies. Jason – yeah, I'd like to be one of the Herculoids. QRD – they had action figures? Jason – I think so, they came out with that big green thing that they rode on with the shit that came out of the horns & stuff like that. Tara ? who was the chick on He-Man with the pink hair? QRD – Teela? Jason – no, that was the Sorceress wasn't it? QRD – no, the Sorceress was a bird. Tara ? she had pink hair & she was really cool. she was a bad guy. Jason – not Evil Lynn? Tara ? no. QRD – it wasn't Evil Lynn because she didn't even have hair usually, she wore a hat. Jason – you know, they didn't come out with many females for He-Man; just Teela, Evil Lynn, & the Sorceress. QRD – but then She-Ra came out. Tara ? there was a girl with pink hair though & I can't remember her name. Jason – you know who you're thinking of? Jem. Tara ? no. Jason – aww.... it's pretty sad that I know about these things. QRD – she was definitely evil though, nothing good about her? Tara ? nope. except her hair. Jason – I'd like to know who that was, I was a big He-Man fan. I would have He-Man & Evil Lynn & Teela all have sex. QRD – did you ever see that new He-Man? Jason – that was bullshit. Tara ? I think she was on the newer He-Man. not the one where he had the page boy, he had a pony tail. QRD – I don't know the pony tail years as well. Tara ? you know who else Cheetara. I don't want to look like her, but that would be my name. Jason – she had that staff & Panthro had the coolest num-chuks with cat paws at the end. Tara ? Thundercats just kicked ass. QRD – do you remember they got some new Thundercats all of a sudden? three new ones, where did they come from? Tara ? they were on some island, they had been trapped there. Jason – Snarf, I liked him, he was cool. QRD – you know, they're making a comeback. Tara ? Mum- Ra was so cool. Jason – Mum-Ra was awesome. "Give me the might... the power...." Tara ? he had that slime.... Jason – & Slithis the reptile toad looking dude with the webbed ears. QRD – yeah, but I didn't that was his name. Jason – yeah or maybe Slithy.... Tara ? Slythe... Jason – there you go Slythe. QRD – but then Jackal Man was just Jackal Man & Monkey Man was just Monkey Man. Tara ? what was the vulture guys name? QRD – Voltar.... Jason – no... Vulture Man, that's what it was. Tara ? Liono, he was hot. he was a fox. Jason – who was that Panthro, Cheetara.... QRD – Tigra. Jason – right. Tara ? Wily Kit & Wily Kat. QRD – Wily Kit & Wily Kat were bad asses. Jason – they were the Wonder Twins for the nineties. QRD – they're ten to fifteen years older than Liono, so they must be forty-five by the time they get to whatever planet they live on & they're still punk rock ass kickers throwing shit. Tara ? remember they had those skateboard things. Jason – yeah, they had those in Back to the Future 2. Tara ? why don't they have that on? QRD – they still do where I live. Jason – really? they released all the episodes on tape. did you ever see the movie? "Genesis" where it tells how they got there & how Liono got the glove. QRD – that was just the first episode, it was an hour long. Jason – next question. QRD – which Simpson do you most identify with? Jason – Homer. QRD – why? Jason – he likes donuts & he sits around in his underwear with his hand in his pants belching at the television. QRD – Zack, Screech, or Slater; which one's you? Jason – Screech. I'd be ashamed to be considered Zack or Slater because I think they both have latent Oedipal complexes. Screech is cool, they gave him a bum rap. Tara ? Screech got really ugly the older he got. Jason – okay, maybe I don't resemble him in that way. QRD – or maybe you do. Jason – the opinion's subjective. QRD – what's your favorite cartoon? Jason – Space Ghost. QRD – the old one? Jason – the new one's pretty good too. that & Dungeons & Dragons, Thundercats, the Smurfs. QRD – what do you think about the internet, are you for or against it & why? Jason – I think it sucks. it's evil.
all the people on it are insane & I want nothing to do with it.
