Pilooski interview

What have you been up to since you were in Australia last year?
A lot of food editing, time travelling, analog dreaming.

What has changed for you since the release of Beggin'?
I don't have to queue at the local post office anymore. Old people now help me cross the street....


Do you prefer the editing process to remixing?
It's like choosing between cheese or desert, it depends on the wine really...

What made you start editing in the first place?
an early taste for Legos & Playmobils in general.

Which songs are next in the firing line to be edited?
just did one for a cool NY label RVGE of the Nerds, some new Moxie stuff, but have been focusing on the Discodeine lp & doing production for other bands lately...

What is your process of selection for the old tracks that you edit? Are these the songs that bear some kind of childhood relevance?
yes definitely, although i'm not that old :)

Summarize your next six months.
finish the Discodeine lp, produce a new cool French singer, remixes, going to the swimming pool, late night parties at the Ice-skate rings in Paris, cheese steak eating in Philly.

Lastly, what do you remember about the night you played at Sneaky Sundays…?
Cool people with a music knowledge, which is not always the case.
