The Job Interview
The Job is a Toronto band that plays catchy songs about fucking and fighting. Lead dude Nyles Miszczyk talked to us about Renaissance porn, the size of the GZA’s spliff, and the shame of fucking like an eighty-year-old. And yeah, one of these is probably his crotch:
What’s the worst job interview you’ve ever had?
I took mushrooms and went to an interview for a managerial position at an amusement park, I don’t remember much of the interview – it was the worst because I got the job… I also sharted once during an interview, that was awkward.
What kind of job do you prefer–hand or blow?
Is rim an option? Probably blow – though I really do like a nice beater every once in a while…
Ever received one of the above-mentioned jobs at your place of employment?
Most definitely.
What’s the deal with your song Fighting Fucking Cars? You ride a fixie, don’t you?
That song is kind of tongue in cheek. I actually never learned to ride a bike, let alone a car, I fight like a twelve year old girl and my sexual prowess is on par with most geriatrics. It’s kind of a sad song, really.
What’s it like being besties with the GZA? How big is his spliff?
I can’t believe you heard that story!! The NXNE festival was like rock n roll fantasy camp for me this year – it was crazy. I was so far from cool when that happened, It took everything I had not to giggle like a little girl. But I’ve smoked bigger.
Is I Seen a Porno inspired by any particular video? Do you stream or use torrents? I’m looking for an alternative to YouPorn cause whenever my friends try to look up YouTube videos on my laptop it shows up on my history and it’s embarrassing cause you can see the titles eg: “Busty Adventures.“
You gotta hook up that Google Chrome action – It’s got this ‘incognito’ mode that allows you to cruise porn without it turning up in your history and shit. Streaming porn sounds like it would be the best thing in the world until you find out it’s about some internet bullshit. “Oh, I went out into the woods and it was streaming porn.” Or it sounds like strictly watersports videos…
You’re in this Richard III band too, right? My boyfriend’s really into stockings–do you think he’d like it if I dressed up in renaissance garb?
Of course he would! Can you imagine how hot it would be if he rolls off you and says “More mead, m’lady?” as he fills you a stein and you proceed to share a leg of mutton in bed. How romantic… sigh. But yeah, I was or am, or something. In Richard III that is…. Wow, I also can’t believe you knew that one too! We made this really pretty, slow, sad instrumental record but it’s never seen the light of day. Who knows what’ll happen there.
The Job is playing the Railway Club with Adjective on July 23rd. Go see em, they’re nice boys.
the interview show: rye rye
If you haven’t heard of Rye Rye (aka Ryeisha Berrain), yet, you soon will.
She got her start in the Baltimore underground scene and gained a solid following for her dancing (check out her on youtube) and her unique voice and delivery.
Rye Rye was discovered by Baltimore superstar DJ Blaqstarr (who was a friend of her big sister). From there, Diplo got involved; then M.I.A. heard her and decided to mentor the young rapper. Oh yeah… did I mention she has just graduated from high school this year?
Rye Rye (featuring M.I.A.) “Bang” (Buraka Som Sistema Canivale Remix) Bang is easily the song of this summer and the spiritual daughter of M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes”. I put up the Buraka Som Sistema remix cuz BSS need waaay more ups.
Rye Rye “Wassup Wassup” (Crookers remix) The song that started it all, remixed by Italy’s crazy dance floor demons.
Rye Rye was supposed to be back in town this summer opening for A-Trak, but she had to pull out! But she will be back soon when her full length drops.

Jeff Koons
Jeff Koons is showing in London for the first time, at Serpentine Gallery.
He famously made this sculpture of Michael Jackson and Bubbles in 1988.
His website is pretty awesome. More artists need their own websites. It’s not as common as you might think.
