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.

BON IVER SPIN OFF PROJECT OF WONDER!

Until Justin Vernon gets off his hairy ass and mails me that mix (seriously JuJu, figure out the postage so we can start falling in love already) I’ll have to content myself with (that means masturbate to) his side project, Volcano Choir. Fuck, the album’s not out til September 22. Looks like I’ll still be quietly strumming myself to The Wolves (Act 1 and 2) for a couple more months. Aroooo!

yup, that’s Tom Cruise under there–cover shot is totally an outtake from Eyes Wide Shut

01 Husks and Shells 
02 Seeplymouth 
03 Island, IS 
04 Dote 
05 And Gather
