AND ON THAT FARM HE KEPT SOME BEES
Rumours had been swirling around my head for weeks regarding the whereabouts of EIEI Owen, the reclusive drummer of The Dukes of Stratosphear, when a tip from a reliable source at my former publisher, Modern Wanker magazine, sent me flying north to the highlands of Scotland in search of greatness. Finally, at Old MacDonald Haddock Farm, EIEI Owen was found by your humble correspondent. I had recently been employed by Wes Long (known in some circles as "Long Wes," but that's another story) to ferret out information on the drummer-turned-beekeeper, and now that I'd found my man, I wasn't going to let him get away without an interview. Owen reluctantly agreed, and despite occasional swarms of angry bees buzzing over our heads and the Drumming Duke's rather disconcerting habit of changing his eye colour at will to suit his mood, I managed to capture a fascinating glimpse into the life and times of a legend. What you hear will amaze you, entice you and, yes, perhaps |

even shock you. But one thing is assured -- your opinion of the relationship between psychedelic music and professional wrestling will never be the same. Now it's time... time to drop the love bomb and dance through the mirror, time to open the doors of your mind and invite us in. Er, hurry up, will you? It's fecking cold up here in Scotland! |

IT'S 25 O'CLOCK! The un-gettable get? You bet your acid spangles! The ageless and very nearly invisible Sir John Johns was ever-so gingerly coaxed out of his plush multicoloured lair and quizzed on topics ranging from Virgins to kitchen furniture. This groundbreaking visionary was dissing the all too negative band XTC and carrying on conversations with clothes when John Lennon was still in diapers and neither stance was considered gear. Many thanks to The Dukes' manager, Honest Mitch Mingela, for getting it together and making this interview happen. Sorry you had to cut your vacation short. The file is a bit more than eight minutes long... so you'll have to allow some time for the download. I find that a few spangles help to make the wait more enjoyable, and when you look in the mirror there's a good chance that your face will appear to be on fire... which is always a plus. |
