| MAKE YOUR OWN INTERVIEW! |
||
| Are your lyrics autobiographical? | ...I'd rip my dick off. | |
| As I studied the covers, I discovered several secret messages in an even more secret language. Always something like 'Är smör gron, jag knörf smo mörf'. What do they mean? | A glam/disco style verse followed by a speed metal refrain, witty lyrics spiced with a fistful of socio-political satire. All this soaked in a healthy 70's punk attitude. | |
| Assume, you would be voted the ruler of Sweden. What would be your initial measures, what would be your first laws? | All this took place on a geological timescale, that's why the continental plates have moved so much since the last CD. | |
| Can you name some delicious dishes with elk? | And I might add that our show is directed by no other than Ingmar Bergman, that great icon of Swedish film making. | |
| Did John cause changes in CRD music? | As always, this is the best album we’ve ever done. | |
| Do you like being something like a sex symbol? - you are in Germany at least. | CRD never sounded like we wanted it to and never will. We never know what we want and we change our minds all the time. | |
| Do you think an alien race will/or had already visit our planet? | Eating, drinking and sometimes weeping. | |
| Do you think you're the pioneers of Scandinavian EBM? | EBM doesn’t exist anymore. It died with the eighties. And good riddance, too. | |
| Don't you think that many old fans won't appreciate your new Rock'n'Roll-style? | I don’t remember much of the years between BanzaiB and MoosehairU. We were always drunk and did a lot of drugs. | |
| Has it been a struggle to keep Cat Rapes Dog going for so long? | I don't know. I admit to making the whole thing up and not being able to come up with anything even remotely funny to answer your question. | |
| Have you ever seen the action related to your band's name in real life? | I hope you're aware of that lying will send you straight to hell, my son. | |
| How did Annelie's role change when Joel left the band? | I regret selling the ESQ-1, it had the best mixed choir sound I've ever heard. | |
| How will it feel to be remembered for writing songs such as ‘An Ass For A Brain’, ‘Cow Shit’ & ‘Fuck Nature’? | I tried desperately to cover the fact that she's a speed-taking, heroin-addicted, pot-smoking and glue-sniffing alcoholic. The doctor said six months, tops. | |
| How would YOU describe your kind of music? | I'd like to cite the freemasonic movement here and add the words so closely associated with the French Revolution: freedom, equality, brother- and sisterhood. | |
| I heard that all members of CRD have a 'punk'-like background. Why did you happen to start an electronic career? | I'm often urging people to accept me as their ruler. | |
| In the past, some people have misunderstood CRD's satirical lyrics, taking sarcasm at face value. What percentage of your fan base is made up of morons? | I'm pretty sure that we won't be remembered at all. Wait around for twenty or thirty years and it will be as if we never existed. | |
| My kindergarden teacher said a cat can on no account rape a dog. Are Swedish cats bigger than their fellow felines over here? | It's just what you could expect from a bunch of geniuses like us. I don't think you could ever listen to music as fulfilling and thought-provoking as ours. | |
| One hasn`t heard from you for a long time. Well, what have you done recently? | Joel made it up, he was always the weird one. Now he sells t-shirts at our live shows. | |
| Please complete the sentence: "If I were a man......" | Modern Biblical research suggests that God isn't into Industrial at all; apparently God prefers Andreas Wollenweider and the likes. | |
| The first thing that kicks my ass is the name CAT RAPES DOG. It's a damn cool name! Would you explain to us the background of taking such a cool name? | Nobody leaves this band without paying a terrible price. Once you're in you don't come out. We're like a religious sect, we have total control over each other. | |
| What abour Jonas and John? Are they just music-dummies like the Kraftwerkian ones? | Please go out and buy the new album and make us all very rich. You will get a richer life and we will just get richer. | |
| What about the beginning of CAT RAPES DOG? | Remember "Things I Hate"? See? We told you about Jörg Haider in Austria but you just didn't listen. | |
| What are your feelings, as society is getting colder and the power of capitalism's growing while all systems that claimed to be communist are gone? | She replaced Joel and now wears his clothes and speaks with his voice. | |
| What is fun by eating people? | Singers, like batteries, lose their power with time. John expired June 2002. | |
| What is Santa's Beard? | The album is a journey into the heart of darkness that is America today, all portrayed with an irony that is typical of CRD. | |
| What is the state of the music scene in Sweden as far as electronic and alternative music is concerned? | The latest polls seem to indicate that the moron rate is going down for the first time since we started. | |
| What kind of people listen/buy your music? | The research took six months and the creative process almost a year. This album is not just a fling, it's serious art. | |
| What message have Cat Rapes Dog for the world? | The whole idea of giving out Music Awards was already in the 70's wisely frowned upon. | |
| What music do you listen to in private and does it have an influence on your song-writing? | The whole music scene stinks and I'm so fed up with it. What we need is punk, or its equivalent, to wipe the charts clean. | |
| What´s charateristic for a brilliant CAT RAPES DOG song? | There just aren't enough words invented in any language to describe what we are doing. Intellectually, we are so far ahead that it's ridiculous. | |
| While reading your lyrics, sometimes I would like to ask: "Hey guys! Are you OK in the heads?" | There will be a new album in _________ and we will play at ___________. Apart from that, we are busy planning for our demise. | |
| Who is responsible for the music and who is responsible for the lyrics? | They are potentially dangerous and some can acquire the taste for meat. Then they often start eating people. | |
| Why did Joel leave the band? | We didn’t get along with the producer. The last day in the studio me and Joel beat him up a bit, so I guess we won’t use him anymore. This incident is the reason why Joel’s not among us anymore. | |
| Will you be going on a tour through Germany soon? | We go to _______ in _________ and we will give the fans what they want; raw power and frustration. | |
| Would it be fair to say that Cat Rapes Dog do not have an optimistic view for the future of humanity? | We have no aspirations. We have given up. Our crusade against conformity has been effectively crushed by the international conglomerates. | |
| You’re obviously not banking on going to heaven? | We wanted to
make songs with more guitars And not so many about American cars We wanted to show our diversity And that I had studied at the university We wanted to show that we still existed And had practised till our fingers blistered |
|
| Your new sound seems to be suitable for riding on a big motorbike along a lonely, dusty highway. What do you think about this association? | We're not responsible at all. We deny any involvement in anything connected to CRD. | |
| Your web page is excellent. Comments? | We’re into a lot of different styles. We don’t really wanna be in this genre, or even in this band. We just wanna sit in a field and smell all the flowers and watch the clouds in the sky. | |
| You've used subliminal messages in some of your songs. What is the nature of these messages? | We'll try to make it as much retro as possible, probably somewhere near the Necronomikon-tape from 1987. | |
