EDITOR’S NOTE
Grumpy people make me giggle. Insecurities. Innate deficiencies. A sense of vulnerability which threatens one’s stability. To a certain extent, emotional security is a function of brain chemistry; some people are naturally predisposed to feel more adversely affected by events. It is common that some haven’t managed to bridle these primal feelings yet, resulting in random emotional outbursts, insulting or humiliating others. Have you ever considered this could be utterly entertaining? “It might be argued that a cat playing with a mouse is taking pleasure in exercising her power.” Getting a kick out of causing others misery, while enjoying a presumed essence of superiority, is nothing less than a perversion. Fortunately, we all have a precious extraordinary ability to turn all the awful feelings of these unsubstuntial yet intentional pothers, into something that, in the long run, makes us laugh. One way to channel these twofold feelings, that affect both sides, is through art and visual communication. But at the end, we are AMUSED.

Although he can’t recall the first image he snapped, L.A. based photographer, director and filmmaker Neil Krug is certain it wasn’t any good. Now, at the age of 29, Krug has developed a signature style so distinct it’s as though he was born right into the psychedelic world represented through his art. A self-taught virtuoso who knows no rules and whose work is defined not by the echo of what can and cannot be done, but by the artist’s ultimate vision. Like, for example, the use of expired Polaroid film to create the mood of “looking at a beautifully beat to hell dusty LP cover.” With concepts like this, it is no wonder Krug has quickly become the go-to for seminal bands like Devendra Banhart, Ladytron, Bat For Lashes, and Justice, producing album art and promo videos with that grainy, filmic impression of an era bygone but far from forgotten.

Neil, what have you been up to today? Just another day in the studio for the most part. At the moment it’s blazingly hot here in Los Angeles so I’ve kept my work inside whenever possible. Also for the first time, I tried to take a summer break but now I’m in catch up mode.
Where do you call home and what are the requisites that make it home for you? Los Angeles is my home and has been for the last few years. It doesn’t take much for me to settle in and get comfortable for the most part. I’m also a caveman so a decent desk and bed are pretty much all that’s required for my house to be in order.
You work with an incredible array of musicians – can you recall a particularly memorable experience shooting an artist or band? Shooting Ladytron atop a mountain in Montserrat Spain was one of the first shoots I did, so great memories come to mind of that experience. I met Alejandro Jodorowsky for ten minutes in London during The Horrors ‘Skying’ shoot; probably the most fortuitous meeting of my life and I also re-

cently befriended the Foals guys and have since had a blast with them on a few occasions. They feel like longlost friends. The best experiences probably can’t be shared publicly in an interview.
What do you look for in a subject and in what ways have these collaborations come about? I try not to look for anything and let things come about organically. Keeping things fresh demands some sort of randomness or interruption to the process, I suppose. I say that like I’m a true professional but who really knows. I have a few friends I shoot with pretty regularly but for me it’s comparable to working in a band and going for a sound you know you can only make with those people.
Your inspirations include Spaghetti Westerns and counter culture films of the 60s – what is it about this era of film? Simply put, everything. If you’re talking about Spaghetti Westerns then the first thing that comes to mind is the unique and iconic use of the music with the picture. I recently read something about Sergio Leone constructing all the stand-

off scenes around the Morricone music to build the tension in time with the cues. Not that he was the only one to do that but that specific combination will always be identified as his. I enjoy watching film prints more so than digitally shot films but at the end of the day, a great story is a great story.
en an entire generation a platform to promote work without having to going through traditional channels. People’s lives have changed from MySpace pages, so I’m thrilled to be living right now.
Outside of film, where do you look for inspiration?
For the most part I’ve been diving into older Japanese design books such as Japanische Plakate and Katsuhiro Otomo’s Genga book. I’m a massive fan of Otomo, and his black and white drawings are such a blast to live in. Also, a friend recently took me to the Hollywood Forever Cemetery here in Los Angeles and that had a profound effect on me. There’s a lot to absorb visually in cemeteries and the atmosphere is a good reminder of how little time we have on the planet. Aside from my morbid curiosities, there’s a bunch of spots in the California desert that I recently discovered and I hope to spend more time in once the weather cools off a bit.
Lately I’ve tried to soak up nature and the city rather than looking through monographs for mood or inspiration. I keep thousands of fragmented images in my office of things I want to chase but I don’t just sit there and stare. For the last couple of years I’ve had the most creative moments in a state of utter fatigue right before I pass out and sleep. It’s a system that’s not great for healthy living but it always gives me a strange clarity during project time. Other than that, a great piece of music goes a long way.
There is a sense of nostalgia to your work – do you ever feel as though you were born in the wrong decade? Not at all. In fact, my parents have always said I was born at the perfect time. Never before has it been this easy to get things going for young people. The Internet and technology has giv-

What is catching your eye at the moment?
If you were to cast yourself in one of your films – what type of character would you play? God, I would love to play a Toby Dammit type of character in someone else’s movie but sadly I don’t have much going in the actor presence arena.

If it’s been a moment since you last saw Spirits of the Dead, I highly recommend it. Skip the other twο shorts and go straight to Fellini.
Any upcoming projects you can talk about? I have two photo monographs I’m starting work on later this fall. I’ve had the ideas and titles forever but only recently figured out how to actually make the pictures. Anyway, I hope to get moving on those once I wrap a few things. I have a few 3D animated videos for various bands that will be released sometime this fall as well, which I’m excited about. That and I really want to try and finish my longterm film project Invisible Pyramid. I’ve been actively working on it for 5 years and very close to wrapping. If I book a big ad job then I’ll pour a bunch of funds into the project to speed up its completion.
What’s on for the rest of day? Coffee, editing, and Dunwich Radio. I have a new thing in my studio where I spend half the day listening to NPR which is the National Public Radio here in the USA, and then other half lost in Dunwich Radio, which is a Swedish musical tastemaker that puts together the best mixes I’ve ever heard in my life. If I was in a position to make films prolifically I would hire Dunwich Radio to music supervise all my features. Do yourself a favor and check him out.
And lastly, any chance of exhibiting in Australia sometime soon? I’ve been trying to make it over to Australia for years with no luck. I had an opportunity to exhibit this year but had to turn it down due to prior commitments, which was a real drag. All of my aussie friends are the greatest people I know so there must be something in your water.

SYFFAL: Our readership is most famous for being part of a mass movement of plushy sex addicts who have trouble reading through their sex costumes and shame, for some reason they have decided to turn to us for all of their music needs. So in order to help us help them please answer the following: Who the Fuck are you? Bazooka (BZK): We are the descendants of the great ancient Greek civilization fucked by Christianity. SYFFAL: Who does what in your band? BZK: Xanthos plays the guitar sings, Billy plays the guitar struggles to sing backing vocals, and Plathios are playing drums sing backing vocals

SYFFAL: If you were able to be a cast member of any 1980s teen sex romp which one would it be and why? BZK: Jeff Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High because he was the classroom stoner. SYFFAL: Everyone knows the only ac-
ceptable Fast Times cast member is Brad or Damone. Your EP I Want To Fuck All The Girls In My School is a delicious garage punk offering that makes me long for doing whippets with my friends that still live in their parents basements. Is that what you were gunning for? If not what were you hoping to achieve? And if so, what the Fuck is wrong with you? BZK: Actually our goal was to make a record for decent families that enjoy getting high on LSD. And what the Fuck is wrong with you sucking gas out of a can? SYFFAL: It wasn’t a can, it was a balloon bro! I met Joel, my partner in all things SYFFAL back in 2009. We were both heading to the nation’s capital to see the cherry blossoms; it really is a site to see. Anyway we were on a Greyhound Bus that encountered some issues with some undesirables, and we were forced to pull over to the side of the highway for 37 hours until authorities finally arrived to take these fuckers away. During the down time Joel and I got to talking about all manners of things, from Politics (he

It was here that we realized we had caught some lightning in a bottle, now every year we celebrate the launch of SYFFAL by getting drunk and riding a bus to nowhere in particular, we just talk music. How did you guys meet and when did you realize that you had something special? Subquestion - what do you do to celebrate yourselves? BZK: The story goes back in the mid 2000s in the little town of Volos near the mountain Pilion. Xanthos was a young and beautiful boy that used to play his guitar and sing heavenly melodies near the sea. Billy was a fisherman from a nearby town that used to fish near the sea of Volos. When he heard Xanthos singing he knew that he had to start a band with him. But he was not the only one listening. An evil centaur, half horse half human was seduced by the melody and decided to kidnap the beautiful singer. When Billy went to meet Xanthos he saw the Kidnapping and swore on his mother‘s eyes that he will save him. He went to meet his lumberjack friends, John and Plathios and together with axes started looking for the centaur in the forests of Pelion. Three days later they found the centaur village where Xanthos was tied and forced to sing for the evil creatures. Then Plathios, John and Billy attacked the creatures and brutally dissected them with the axes. They saved Xanthos, lit a fire and decided to start a band. To celebrate ourselves we go to Pelion and slay a bunch of centaurs! SYFFAL: So typical we lived in the suburbs and had no friends shit then? I Want To Fuck All The Girls In My School is the first I am hearing of you guys, am I just out of touch or is this your first release? If it is the former, please bring me up to speed

SYFFAL: I’m out of touch but you are releasing punk music in Paris? Those fuckers are about as punk as Rick Santorum. Speaking of Rick Santorum, your EP I Want To Fuck All The Girls In My School, is fucking awesome but from what I can gather most EPs are a game of just the tip for a full length album that is on its way, so is this the case, and if so what can we expect? (Please use the words Moist, Gaping, Ball Gag and Russian Bathhouse in your answer) BZK: There is a full length album coming that we’re recording now. It will sound like a gifted man’s erect penis fucking a moist, gaping asshole of another man with a ball gag in his mouth... In a Russian bathhouse. SYFFAL: Oh so it will be pop music? Like any great movie or a great TV show, the best bands are made up

of the sum of their parts; no I don’t mean the members of the band, because everyone knows that musicians are pieces of shit. I am referring to your influences, who are your top three influences? BZK: Our influences change all the time. Our three top influences for now are The fall, Hellshovel and Black Lips. SYFFAL: If you guys were in a classic TV show or Movie which one would it be and who would be who in said TV show or Movie.
BZK: James Hatefield SYFFAL: Bass BZK: Sting (of course) SYFFAL: Drums BZK: Dhalsim from street fighter SYFFAL: Keys BZK: Vangelis SYFFAL: French Horn
BZK: We would be in the Police Academy movies. Plathios would be Zed, Xanthos would be Sgt. Eugene Tackleberry, John would be Sgt. Larvelle “Motor Mouth” Jones and Billy would be MAHONEYYYY!
BZK: Gibby Haynes
SYFFAL: Our site started out as a series of friends who liked to share the music they loved while drinking high end beers, in this spirit who are three acts we should be looking for, please include their best album and which craft beer goes best with it.
SYFFAL: Groupie

The Fall - Dragnet suits the taste of a cold Amstel Black Lips - Let it bloom really fits with a cold Amstel SYFFAL: Amstel? You guys must have shitty beer on that island nation of yours.

“I was standing next to the bar trying to get a Seven-Up. Suddenly, this lovely girl started to strip down right in front of me. I only had a wide-angle 28 mm camera lens, not really wide enough for the moment, so I backed up as far as I could, almost knocking over the bar. You have to do the best you can in these situations.” “Take a close look at the guy on the left walking towards the girl. That is Burt, who almost thirty years later, is still a permanent fixture on the party circuit. I am sure he was on his way to get this girl’s telephone number.”

What is like moving abroad? I cried on the plane from Vancouver to London. I couldn’t sleep even though everyone else could. It was my first flight alone where nobody would be waiting for me on the other side. I had also just left my first serious boyfriend I was dating at the time at home.

There’s something magical about our time in Inari/ Ivalo. Favourite thing Sunday morning brunch Least favourite thing Saying goodbye to all my friends How did you spend most of your time there? My friends and I cooked. A lot. We also walked around the city quite a bit, taking photos, browsing shops and adventuring museums and parks. Any mingling with the locals? Mostly with students we met in class. Kristiina is my friend whom I met while I was studying in Vancouver, she lives in Helsinki. I also met a few people going out at night. Did you adopt any Finnish habits? A yearning for salmiakki and saunas. Most memorable moment Our Lapland dance parties followed by sauna sessions followed by surprise northern lights. Actually, all of Lapland. Something you’d rather forget Nothing at all. Memory (or memories) you’ll cherish for life Any moment I had with friends. Whether we were going out, having a movie marathon, dancing or cooking and singing in the kitchen. Would you rather be somewhere else right now? A group hug with my friends from Finland!

Helsinki: First thing that comes to mind looking back to your time there Friends. Really really good friends. Favourite place We found home in Inari lake. It was the cosiest wooden house, with a separate sauna cabin in front of a massive frozen lake. Reindeers were walking by our kitchen window every morning and we pretended we could listen to bears at night. Favourite thing All of it. Least favourite thing Life in Finland felt so nicely structured. Friends, studies, free time. Everything fitted so well together. So, leaving was rather unpleasant. How did you spend most of your time there? Cooking, dancing and travelling. We had our rituals. Sunday brunch, Tuesday dinner & movie, barbeques, long walks, strange after-parties. We also studied of course. Any mingling with the locals? In school mostly. I’ve had met Eetu in Athens right before I moved to Finland. We also went ice-skating with Tiia a few times. Did you adopt any Finnish habits? Sauna and excessive coffee drinking. Most memorable moment One night in Lapland, around 2 am and after our usuals; dinner, sauna, rolling in the snow, drinks and dancing, someone noticed something outside the window. We all rushed in the centre of the lake. Everyone just shutted up and sat there looking at the northern lights. A few days after we went on a road trip from where we were staying in Inari Lake to North Cape in Norway. The scenery was breathtaking! Everything was snow-covered white but the blue-black Arctic Ocean, with some colourful wooden fishermen’s houses every now and then.
Would you rather be somewhere else right now? It’s Sunday, so I’d like to be at Yng’s and Sara’s place, cooking pancakes with Michelle and having brunch with some lovely people.
Something you’d rather forget If there was something, probably I have already forgotten about it. Memory (or memories) you’ll cherish for life Countless! Some of my favourite memories were created in Finland with some of my favourite people in the world.

What is like moving abroad? It’s like you go into an aeroplane and fly away. And where you land, there’s so much new things, you don’t know where to look at and what to do. Like a child in a colorful circus. There’s a lot of laughing and love, but also crying. Time flies by. And all of a sudden, you sit in another aeroplane and fly back. And then, you feel kind of strange for a long time. Then, everything moves on and you’re almost back to normal, but you’ll never be. You start writing sentimental texts like this. Best thing about moving away You’re somebody else. Not because you pretend to be somebody else. Because nobody knows you and nobody expects you to be like you’ve been two or three years before. And also because you meet people from all over the world, so that social codes and looks don’t count that much. All of this makes you more free. And of course all the people and new friendships. What did you miss the most from home? My friends back home. I haven’t had as much contact with them as I wanted to (and, at least with some, as I should have had), but at times, I really missed them.
Helsinki: First thing that comes to mind looking back to your time there Tough question - it’s always something else depending on what makes me looking back. Right now probably, because it was nearly one year ago that I flew to Helsinki: The moment I stepped out of the luggage section into the arrival sector in the airport, when I first arrived in Helsinki. It was 10 in the morning, I haven’t slept all night and was in a really strange mood as you can imagine, leaving home, going to a strange country. And then there was Tanya, my tutor from university with a paper with my name on it waiting for me. I started to put on a big smile and knew it’s going to be good. Just because I felt, that I’m welcome. Favourite place Lapland, just somewhere in Lapland. In a cozy wooden house with a lot of beds for all the friends I made in Helsinki, a sauna and a frozen lake right next to it. Favourite thing Sauna with some nice people and a cold beer. Least favourite thing Clubs closing at 2:30, no beers in the metro and stuff like that. There was too much regulation from the state.
How did you spend most of your time there? During the day: practising the piano. During the evening: cooking with my wonderful roommates, having fun with them (going out, playing risk, watching movies, ...) During the night: Finding the right place to celebrate. Any mingling with the locals? Not that much, but I made two friends. And if the saying about finnish people is right, they are friends for life. Did you adopt any Finnish habits? I adopted more habits from other foreign countries than finnish habits I guess, for example cooking pasta the italian ways. When I thing about it, maybe I am now more quiet and I like to be on my own more than before I went away, and these two things are definitely typical finnish. This is strange, because it started to be like that back in Germany and was quite different in Helsinki. Most memorable moment I can’t decide, really. Something you’d rather forget There were some uncomfortable or embassaring situations but nothing worth mentioning. Memory (or memories) you’ll cherish for life Ok, here’s a few, but definitely not all. Driving with the car seven hours forth to and seven hours back from Cape North, which is actually not that astonishing, but the road trip was awesome (“No Maria”). That one afterparty in the home of the romanian girl Corina. In her little room, at least in my memory, was only one air matress and some tree brushes. We were dancing all together far into the morning and founded a tree brush band. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the name. Another really good memory is coming back from Germany in May, where I went to play my entrance exams for piano studies. I knew, that all went fine, I got through the entrance exams and achieved what I really wanted to and what I worked my ass off for for one year, and then I arrived back in Helsinki at 9 or 10 in the evening, you couldn’t tell, because sun is up so long in summer, and it was nearly 20 degree outside. I realised that summer was coming and I was happy. Very happy.
