Interview: Spitzer
Monday, 17 December 2007

Spitzer are two brothers who live in Lyon, France and make music, produce music and remix music. We are pleased that they decided to do the TSM Radio interview especially as they were busy in the middle of remixing The Birdie Song by The Tweets. Tensions were high as Damien wanted to add the mating call of the Superb Fairy- wren into the song but Matthieu thought this was pretentious and wanted to stick with the common Sparrow instead. Sibling rivalry eh? It's like the Gallagher brothers all over again.




Axl Rose...We wish we had the same inspirational hair do and slim jeans


Where is the most relaxing place on earth for you?
The most relaxing place on earth for us would be a totally deserted beach, at dusk, just before the sun sets, feeling the amazing atmosphere, drowning ourselves and our thoughts in the ultimate sound of waves… We would be just chillin' out with some friends, smoking some delightful Jamaican weed. An unbelievably pleasant feeling.
Female Santas...your thoughts?
Female Santas… Well, we see women as the essence of our music. Meaning: we play music to get to women and to literally get them into our beds… Freud once analysed that artistic creation came from sexual frustration and there isn't a better statement than that one. Just think of Motley Crue!

Fancy Dress? - What shall I go as?
Fancy Dress? Well… we would definitely go as Axl Rose... Yes, he is just the perfect example of fancy dressing. Dressed to the occasion. No? Well, a great fashion example for us ! We wish we had the same inspirational hair do and the slim jeans!

Do you wish you had bigger boobs?

Our boobs? Gosh… no need to care, they're already perfect and gorgeous Anyways, we have to keep our "boob"-wait under control, cause it wouldn't do us any good to be banned from taking the plane. So, in the mean time and before we go for some plastic surgery, we are waiting for a scientific evolution for a lighter silicon substitute.

Did Satan invent Rave music?
Nope. Not at all. English "dudes" invented Rave music (and rock, ska,
electro…). Satan is a very clever entity, who invented Christian rock – which is the worst possible music on earth… Christian rock actually keeps people far away from God, so our dearest Satan did succeed there.
What would be the most challenging song to remix?
Remixing a Trentemoller's song would be an impressive challenge, as his tracks are quite perfect. It would probably be difficult remixing his song without losing the spirit of Trentemoller's sound. The same would apply to Guns n roses! These guys were so bloody talented! (Sorry to all of you, but we really do love GN'R)

Which superhero did you always want to be when you were a kid?
Batman of course! Because, Batman meets the crazy Joker and drives a
ridiculously amazing Batcar… Just like the Manowar band enters the stage before a show with their Harley Davidson motorcycles…
Whats your favourite thing to come out of a can?
Well… let's say that the best thing that could come out of a can, would be peace on earth! No, nope, definitely not! Gosh, we are too selfish to wish that. Okay, our favourite thing coming out of a can would be to travel back
into the past and write Michael Jackson's Thriller, obviously before
he did…

What is your favourite piece of music software?
Our brains. We use computers, and music software, but we consider this technology as a tool only there to help us achieve a mean, which is creating
music. We're not nerd musicians!
Our brains and our souls create our music.
What has life taught you most?
That it's difficult to understand women, that a life without music would be deadly boring, that the 18th Century philosopher Kant was right in everything he wrote, that Rock will never die, that Norwegian girls are the prettiest ones, that sex is good, that making danceable music is a full time job, that we can answer an interview without event speaking about our music.
