The Lolo Project

I'm going to break it down for you, nice and easy: There are three really compelling reasons to check out The Lolo Project at Wavelength. First off, the dude behind TLP is Peter Chapman of The Midways, who are pretty fun and reaffirm one's faith in rockabilly. Second of all, The Lolo Project is both wicked-tight and bouncy like summer titties. Third of all, Peter was so kind as to indulge a lowly Wavelength writer in an experiment intended to determine the ultimate answer to 'œWhat makes the best music interview?'? After happily responding to questions both retarded and retarded he wrote back to Kate 'œGeniusest'? Carraway and proclaimed it 'œthe funnest interview I've ever done.'? HA! Italics indicate the question selected.

What kind of music do you play?

If you are the "Hanna Barbera-esque" music-making entity of Toronto, who or what is the "Warner Bros"?

Geeez. Most people don't even know what I'm talking about when I say Hanna-Barbera. I don't know if I wanna name names as that would be like declaring full on war. That would be like Avril bustin' on Fifi, or Nintendo rippin' on Sega. Or like if the Burger King took Harvey out back and beat him to a pile of processed meat. First question, and already you're trying to start beefs!

Who are your influences?

Would you rather touch a subway mouse at Spadina station, or a used condom found in the men's room of a Richmond Street club?

That's difficult, as they both lend themselves well to projectile sports. The mouse has the tail which could be used to build up a good swinging motion before release. This would give it far more range. The condom on the other hand has great potential energy when stretched back and fired off ones thumb. I'd think better aim as well. The mouse could misfire and bite you, infecting you with countless strains of infectious disease. The condom could also misfire, spray splooge all over you and infect you with countless strains of infectious disease. I think I trust the mouse. Yeah... I'll go with mouse.

How did you decide on your band name?
or
Sampling is so frequently used by so many bands and as a result is feeling kind of tapped. Have you heard anything new, or used anything yourself, that you think made a really interesting bit to recontextualize?

It was a completely retarded stupid stupid stupid STUPID name I came up with in high school to name my 4-track recordings (which sounded like a mixture of Ween, Beck, and a guy who didn't know how to work a 4-track). The 4-track stuff evolved into this, and the name just stayed. It's a retarded name, and I really hate it.

Are you single?
or
Your tunes are awfully upbeat and silly. Do you think that silliness in art and music acts as an outlet for overwhelmed adults so that they can function properly, or does it breeds immature behaviour? Is being silly ever inappropriate? Does growing older suck?

In regard to my tracks, I make them silly 'cause my mom was an alcoholic, my dad was gay, and I'm a 25 year old boy who wets his bed crying himself to sleep at night in a fetal position muttering "WHO AM I?!" over and over again. That's what my psychologist said anyway.
