"You can tell, people used to watch science fiction and imagine by the year 2000 we'd all live on the moon, and only listen to synthesized music, and things obviously haven't turned out like that. I don't think people look towards the future with the kind of excitement that they used to. I think they just imagine us melting from a combination of heat and radiation when they think of the future."

From just before Mother's Day in 2004. He may be quirky, but Nardwuar is one of the best interviewers out there, so this was one of the most intimidating experiences of my journalistic career. In this, he talks (a lot) about the Evaporators' legendary live show, piss trolls, and hair metal act E'nuff Z'nuff.

This was done in late 2006, when I was bored with music interviews and unsure what I wanted to do with myself. So rather than talk about her new live album, Orphan Music, Sarah and I discussed philosophy, art and Tom Waits.
I know this is a big question to start with, but given that you have dealt with visual art, music, film, and philosophy, I'm interested in your take. In your view, what's the role or art?

This is from September, 2004, just after the release of Broken (and other rogue states). Doucet's first album, Aloha Manitoba, remains one of my all-time favourites and his work with Veal is well worth checking out (even if the first album's a bit hit and miss).
