Bitchslap 3 Mostly about the ladies: We tried to broaden our readership to girls because it’s way more fashionable if you have girls at your parties. There was a rumour at the time that girls like pink so we made it pink. We called it ‘Mostly about the ladies’ even though there wasn’t much at all about the ladies, as usual it was probably about us. We did our first music interview with Philadelphia MC, Bahamadia. We somehow convinced her stoney manager it was a great idea and then recorded the whole thing on my mobile phone. This is the first time I saw Fergus at work. He is a highly lubricated interviewer. Conversation slops out of people. Bitchslap 4 It’s a glossy: Since we’ve always wanted to be exactly like Lodown, we thought we would rip off their format. People might mistake us for Lodown and then they’d be like ‘Do you make that Lodown?’ and we’d be like ‘Yep’. I once met a guy from Lodown. He told me the mag was cool, but I could tell he felt sorry for me. ‘You poor bastard.’ 4 colour really did excite us though. What a feeling. René did this awesome photo of Silencio writing his name with a torch. It’s the best thing we’ve done. previous page next page
