TITLE:SPANDIMERDA INTERVIEW WITH BLITTER OF X-TRADE PALETTE:0223 099b 08ba 0cc9 3 SPANDIMERDA INTERVIEW WITH BLITTER OF X-TRADE, MAIN EDITOR OF THE JUNGLE 2 By Blitter and Macno MACNO Welcome to our spandimerda corner, Blitter. How many interviews have you had to suffer in your life? Did you use some good spandimerda tone in your previous occasions or you replied seriously and with sobriety to serious and sober questions? 2BLITTER 2Hey thanx Marcio, I'm really happy to be in the position to fill in the 7th 2questionaire today, which makes me feel like an old scene legend! To tell you 2the truth, I really don't know how many editors I made go crazy with my funky 2bytes. If you are an mathematical dude, feel free to multiply some days with 7 2interviews each, but I would prefer the fast answer: Too less to fill a mag, 2too much to miss something. Amazing, eh? BTW: You could also use the chaos 2theory, because it sounds quite interesting... I've the strong impression that scene interviews can be interesting only if the interviewed is a Very Important Scener (VIS), otherwise they are just a bunch of uninteresting opinions and private informations. Do you agree? Do you consider yourself a VIS? 2Humpf, don't know whether I would like to join the VIS-club! The definition of 2VIS is in most cases "Very Important Scener", but note that you will only get 2this answer if you ask one of the important dudes. Go and ask your local 2VCR-dealer and he will tell you, that the "Videotape Is Sharp" or at the 2butcher's they will tell you that the "veal is setaceous". I think the real 2problem is that nobody knows what a VIS is. On the other side it would be 2really cool to be able to buy at The Party 4 a VIS sticker, which gives you the 2status of an elite dude. Hey, don't you think almost everybody would buy it??? 2Generally you are right, to deal with a VIS (Virgin Is Superb!) is funnier, 2because all scene freaks are really happy to read the latest about RWO's sexual 2life or everything about the masturbation problems of Heatbeat. No doubt, this 2is the basic stuff the scene is made of. Come on maineditors, don't close your 2eyes, we want facts! Do you think that someone will be entertained by the reading of this interview? 2Well, to tell you all the fucking truth, I'm entertained while writing these 2bytes, the AbnoA stuff is busy correcting my mistakes & form and the criticans 2are happy... What do you want more? Even the dudes who haven't read this yet 2should be happy (or lucky???)... Well, that's more than enough for the introduction, please do not tell us something about you and your equipment because we don't care, let us know, instead, what do you know about the Spandimerda movement. 2What a joke, Macno! You told me that this should be a SHORT interview, but now 2you pull my leg by saying this is only the introduction. Nice my friend! But 2as we all absolutely don't care about this & that and everything, it doesn't 2matter anyway. So is there actually a spandimerda movement right now? Are 3Astro & Co. 2 now totally mad to call them "Spandimerda Movement"??? But don't 2hide the facts, the real spandimerda comes from Italy (that soccer world cup was 2sooo exciting!). Sorry to interrupt my spiritual discharge, but how do I have 2to use the word "spandimerda"? Is this a person, an object or just an 2adjective? However, whatever this movement is, I like it! Basically the only 2spandimerding dude are you, but that leaves the question open where is the 2movement? No Macno, 3Zinkfloid2 is NOT a GOOD spandimerda. As I suspected your answer is not that interesting and reveals your ignorance about the real meaning of the word Spandimerda (verb, substantive and adjective at the same time). Let's come to something a bit easier and conventional. What are your favourite Spandimerda Demo: 2AbnoA - The intro for The Jungle... Spandimerda Hero: 2Lone Starr - I am an animation-frame Spandimerda Mag: 2RAW - We TRY harder, but don't succeed... Spandimerda Group: 2Lemon - We were a good group... You have had occasion to criticize the journalism wave in nowadays diskmags. Even if your tones were disappointingly of low spandimerda quality, I have appreciated your position which had the courage of not following the leading stream. What are your real, unfiltered, opinions about the following mags and their editors? - Raw: 2Just a bad copy of The Jungle, but we don't care at all. - Upstream: 2Who flies high, can fall down quickly. - Propaganda: 2Try your propaganda in the Antarctic, there you will succeed! - Compass: 2Where does this Compass lead to? To nirvana? - 42: 242 editors too much, 42 articles too less - The Jungle: 2Not the best, but certainly the best. It's crap (the maineditor 2BliTTeR suxx!) - Abnormalia: 2What a mag!? Never heard of this crap! Now that we know what you think about yourself and us, we can proceed with a very personal and private question. Do you think to be a good spandimerda? 2Hmmm....it's difficult to judge yourself, but if I have luck I'll get a dusty 2ranking in your charts! 2What about a new slogan? BliTTeR - I try dirty, dirtier, dirtiest! In your main editor career, you have been fooled by 3Colorbird/Razor19111 who wrote for the Jungle a provocatory article under the false name of Wingwam/Resistance. What had been your feelings towards Colorbird when you discovered the cheat? 2Macno, what a question. I wanted to kill.... No I wanted to have friendship 2with him, tried to love his group and movement, bla bla bla. That's the answer 2you would like to have, no? Hmm...I still have to try hard to become a 2spandimerda. What about this: He is totally sick, brain dead and absolutely 2not worth the space in this mag? Hey, I'm getting better in spandimerding! He 2is the toilet-part of the scene, simply a slag-off, a dud. Yeah, spandimerding 2is fun... Macno, you spoil my friendship! As you maybe know, the most talked about part of The Jungle is the "Our Little Kitchen" section. It's needless to underline once more the geniality and the originality of such an idea, still there are people around who whisper evilly that the main justification of such a section is its filling space property. How do you reply to similar accusations? Is Our Little Kitchen really a filler??? 2These guys who talk about a filler are just some 08/15 guys. I wonder what 2space is left to fill? Every issue we have to remove some cliparts to include 2Our Little Kitchen! The disk is 100% full and there is not even space for a 2intro, which isn't included because of OLK! Four times in the history of The 2Jungle we were not able to include the best intro on the Amiga, and all this 2trouble because the OLK-corner! So I have now 4 genious intros filling my HD - 2aargh! Sure, OLK is simply the most original part of the scene, because we can 2effect much more than with articles! We can kill people be adding some 2explosives as a nice ingredient or can make people smile by including a real 2yammi-meal. As I see the things, it will stay in there for a long time, if all 2cooks keep up their fantastic support. BTW: Send the recipes, not the ready 2meal, coz a cake squeezed into a mailbox by the postman doesn't look very 2nice... Like many other main editors you have arrived to the conclusion that diskmags can influence sceners as media influence normal human beings. As main editor of a known diskmag, do you feel the responsability and the power of your position? Is there, anyway, really responsability and power? 2What responsiblity? This interview changed my mind, my life and the life of 2thousands of other scene freaks! Sure there are some creatures without brain 2out there, who believe everything you tell them, and for this kind of people you 2have a responsiblitly. All want to be elite and if they get the feeling that 2having a Kojak-head with some radical thoughts is cool and elite, they will 2probably go this way. But the main reason for making a mag is putting others a 2smile in their face and to smash the free time. Not more, not less. Everybody 2who thinks there is more behind, is allowed to bang his head. As you could know, our spandimerda movement is not living healthy days. Many of the wars we believed in (Filippetto-ACBS, Colorbird-Zinkfloid) are finished, a wave of morality and positive thinking is invading the mags pages, people seem to prefer love and peace to some good spandimerding, anti spandimerda criminals are springing up like horny mushrooms. In other words, we miss the usual good old days when a war was a war and not a silly democratic exchange of opinions. According to you, can the scene survive without spandimerding? Is it true, as we hope and believe, that sceners have a well developed spandimerda gene that can't be repressed by cultural and social influences? 2Boy, what a question... Everybody has a real spandimerda gene (BTW: It's 2number 35364645, left DNA). It has to be developed like here in this italian 2school. Somehow you are right, if everything is peace and love, it gets boring. 2Come on Marcio, let's do something FOR the scene: You are a piece of shit, I 2hate you! Let's hope for a nice and RELAXED war! To those horny mushrooms 2(cool expression, by the way): What about listening to "We are all in the 2Yellow Submarine?" As you see the same fact that we are interviewing you instead of a well known and trained spandimerda hero is a sign that the contemporary spandimerda scenery is rather weak. As you can imagine we consider you very untalented as spandimerda. Do you plan to improve yourself? Have you asked around addresses of good spandimerda schools? Have you asked suggestions to the few old spandimerda masters remained? 2Hmm...unfortunately I wasn't able to book a course, because every school is 2overbooked! There is a heavy demand for a real good spandimerda style and there 2are so less teachers left. The fact that you interviewed me really shows the 2profile of the scene. It has become sooooooooooooooooo much worse since 1987! We feel somehow sick after this interview, sorry if we finish it right now and thank you anyway for your spandimerda attempts. As usual we don't leave you space for final words and greetings because we don't care of them. All the best for your recipes. 2Exactly, as we absolutely don't care and it doesn't matter anyway, I'll send 2greetings to all readers & supporters of The Jungle. And as there is no space 2at all, we will fill it right now with this totally senseless sentence. Be 2prepaired for the best recipe ever: 3 MACNO-roni2...
