Snakefinger - rare NZ 1986 interview!!

Snakefinger was one of the most singular artists to emerge in the early 1980's. Label-mate on Ralph Records with the Residents, both acts toured NZ in 1986 and this rare interview with the Man In The Black Sedan dates from that time..

[@outernothingness1177]

It's kind of a weird coincidence that Homer Flynn and Snakefinger have the biggest ears in the world. (Maybe not just literally.)

[@BaddaBigBoom]

Homer Flynn has surprisingly soft hands.

"I first discovered them through a maniacal Austrian musicologist I met on holiday in Austria..." "Well, they would seem to be using a very odd scale system, which was something that this chap, Ensonado(?), was very interested in. He was recording bird noises at the time for some sort of a harebrained theory that he had..." No wonder he's coming off as being a bit more odd than usual and talking in a very strange way. The Residents would turn absolutely everything into a cryptic performance, why would this interview have been any different?

This man made the guitar sound so very weird and almost... Sickly. Not something I can listen to all the time but certainly interesting

[@gasmaskboi19371945]

He's got a lot more accessible stuff with more conventional production too.

[@Buttgun]

[@BaddaBigBoom]

I love the sound on "The Spot" almost banjo like.
