An Update to the X9 Interview

Hmmm. Corrections and explanations seem in order.

1. Bad Mood Guy v2 exists on a DAT tape that would only play if I still had the Russian Tractor DAT machine (for those who came late to the story - I had a DAT machine the size of a barn that rarely worked). The idea of re-re-recording that damn record seems too dull to bear. Let it be. I might try to fix the LP one day - in part by deleting the Racic edits that now seem so damn corny.
2. Succours - the concept of an individual art piece becomes irrelevant in the days where an album can be copied and distributed by the audience via Napster. However the idea that records should be packed in an interesting way seems urgent to me. Musically, what was Succours became Sevcom Music Server (SMS) and so nothing was lost.
3. Co Kla Coma has in fact become the relevant musical arm of Severed Heads. I believe that restarting a band has worked and was the correct decision to make (somebody please tell Kraftwerk, Residents et al). There's no way to get SH back into that position - it can only move into things like 1001 and SMS. Yes, I know it's the same person/people. That is as mysterious to me as it is to anybody. The fact is what you call something, defines it.
4. Comments about Virtual Reality appear to be misguided but I must say I am still pulling my f--king hair out trying to design something worthwhile in 3D. What I want is a strong aesthetic with mystery. What I have is a headache with lots of curly brackets. Think of the best artwork that you yourself have completed. Now, resize that to a tile 256 pixels square and tile it over a hallway. Yuck. It looks like the kids' pictures that mothers plaster on their refrigerators. Added to that, there is a strong aesthetic in place for 3D presentation as there is for paint and video, and I have to meet that before I can kill it.
