Name: Floating Fish Studios/Any Questions? Interview by Ttam Troll
Duration: 22 min 55 s
Description: Right before Halloween 2011, we were interviewed on MCCC Radio on the Jeff Snyder Show. Our 20+ minute interview covered everything Any Questions? and Floating Fish. You can hear the full interview here...

While touring with Punch Drunk in 1993, Any Questions? took the stage on the first night of The Interface Tour at the Four G's Hotel in Bethlehem, PA.  

Reviewer Thomas Linson wrote in Issue 4 of The Floating Fish newsletter, "...Any Questions? smash onto the scene and warp the minds of the many.  Ttam Troll was in excellent form that night, not to mention excellent shape, having consumed one live human leg with a side of caterpillars and bean-sprouts.  Operating on a full stomach, the Troll bore a grinny-grimace that resembled the cat after swallowing the fetus.  A real flare was set off on stage by the Troll, creating plenty of flare-doody and a gaseous stench that brought a churn to everyone's belly.  Then, when this was not enough, he set his rubber gloves a-burnin' and melted a baby's face, which added to the atmosphere intensely!"

Here is the live version of Strafing Children taken from the soundboard recording that night.  Enjoy!

We start off Floating Fish Studios Ttam Troll Plays Bass Week with one of my favorite early Any Questions? songs. This unrelenting aggressive track is full of angst about the human condition, a cynical view of society, and the youthful frustrations of trying to change it all. This song was written and recorded at Der Palast des Goldes in March 1990 and features two blistering bass solos.

After I wrote and sequenced the music for this track, MC2P4 joined me in the studio and we recorded several live takes with him adding keyboard accents and backing vocals as I screamed lead vocals and played live bass. The end result is a great mixture of cold synthesized sound with harsh human aggression that we've rarely matched since.

Rather than trying relay how I was feeling at the time I wrote the lyrics to this song, I'll simply share the words with you. My mental and emotional state will become quite apparent.

I'm living in waste
I try to break free
I'm trying to get out to make you see
This is not how life should be
Living in this sympathy

Follow me, talk to me
I'll try to show you the way
Follow me, talk to me
I'll try to show you the way
The way

I'm tired of this, I'm tired of this
I want to get away
I'm tired of this, I'm tired of this
Oh just go away

People always telling me
That I'm not OK
Living in their glass houses
Letting life slip by
Watching their bank accounts
Grow above their heads
Waiting for the day
Their spouse is dead
Is dead
Waiting for the day
Their spouse is dead
Is dead

Dead (repeat)

I guess I had some issues. Here's the track. Enjoy!

Floating Fish Studios/Any Questions? Interview

After the live debut of Dungeon Aire on New Year’s Eve 12/31/87, we rolled into 1988 by adding an additional guitar player, Kevin "Bart The Fart” Wilson, and changing our band name to This Mistress.  There was nothing to stop us.  

In order to help us get some gigs, we recorded a “cassette calling card”.  In true DIY fashion, we set up a boom box with a built-in mic and hit record.  Here is our cover version of Robert Plant - Moonlight In Samosa.  Saved from oblivion from a long lost tape.  The quality of this recording is very sub par but it highlights a more subtle and nuanced side of the band.  I hope you enjoy it!
