INTERVIEW with Vladimir Zamansky Vladimir Zamansky interview for Russian Reefer Scene. Shaun Partridge: That's why Brown Goblins despise it so much Shaun Partridge is living in Portland. He is Avant-garde artist and painter. Also he is founder of strange religion - Partridge Family Temple. He had collaborations with such people as Boyd Rice, Jim Goad and Adam Parfrey. And even of he speaks really weird, you can still catch the meaning. Q: Tell us a bit on Partridge Family Temple. What's all about? Family members, etc. A: The Partridge Family Temple is a really beautiful, Turned-Right-On Spiritual Happening. Mother Shirley hatched us in the late 80's in a time of ugly, beige darkness. The Adam that is Sleek put the long-player, "Shopping Bag" on the turntable of God and we were turned into Birds Made of Partridge Sound. Everyday you wake up, Shirley Partridge is singing in your Egg Head. One day, if you truly love Danny Partridge, Laurie Partridge will give you a carrot. If you eat this carrot, you will turn orange and see the best television show ever! The Temple understands that to ball Shirley Partridge in the Honey Comb Hideout, is the most psychedelic thing you could ever do. And if you ball her really good and hard, you will have a Son named David Cassidy and he will anoint you with all the blessings of the In Crowd. 7-Up will flow and the Flower Session of God will grow! Q: Please explore your hobbies and interests. A: Louise Lasser, biscuits and gravy, perhaps more. Q: A little word on music. A: I love the sound of people washing the hair of God. I could listen to that forever on a rainy day, curled up on the floor in my soft socks while sipping hot lemon meringue tea. Q: Same about favorite movies. A: "The Music Never Stopped", a true story about a human being who had a brain tumor and the only thing that woke him up was the music of the Grateful Dead and other lesser-known bands from the 60Ős. Me and my old lady blacked out in the theater a few times while watching this. The scene where he puts the furry hat on, took my breath away. We left that movie with a new appreciation for the Grateful Dead phenomenon. Also, last year's groundbreaking, "Country Strong" starring the ever, mind-blowing Leighton Meester. It's an amazing movie about a psychotic-drug-addict-country-singer played by the wife of the singer who was on "Extras". This movie is incredible. As the character tries to rise back to her Nashville Pop Throne, she has many problems that are completely uninteresting. But every minute that Leighton Meester is on screen is pure entertainment. Also, her long brown hair should be parted down the middle with a plastic comb. But the best part of this movie is when after regaining her Country Strong Throne, the mother of Apple locks herself backstage and kills herself on a pill choke Scene. I don't know what message this movie was trying to make, but it made a really good one when they cast Blair from Gossip Girl and Gwyneth Paltrow's character kills herself after the concert. Two thumbs up! Q: What do you know about occult use of plants? A: Knock, knock. Who's there? Ancient. Ancient who? Ancient Chinese Secret. Panda say, what?! Q: What is interesting about Cannabis? A: The fact that Brown Goblins despise it so much. Anything the Brown Goblins want to step on with their gob-nailed boots of uptight hate-freak makes my book burn bright! Q: Is it right, that best Cannabis is in Northern California? A: The man who blew his load in my mother's poncho tells me that the grass we have up here "sucks" compared to the stuff he gets in the Land of Denver. He can be a little overbearing. Q: What do you feel about prohibitions in general? A: Ray Kroc worked at a speakeasy playing piano when he was young and he did not like it one bit. He didnŐt care for the loose women or menacing mobsters. And I think that succinctly sums up my View Master reel of prohibition. Q: Your most important contributions to art. A: Right now I've really gotten into an Apple Pie Tree branch of meditation called, Secret Annex Yoga. Like you dig, we're all a Secret Annex and our True Sitcom Star is Anne Frank. She shared the Attic with Seven people. Those Seven people represent the Seven Channels of TV God Power. Or if you like, chakras; the Seven Planets of the Silence = Gold Scene. The goal is to keep the Brown Goblins from finding you and stepping on your head until it pops like an overgrown flesh-grape. Q: Can you explain what is specific about Portland? A: There is a sense of Community here that is unwavering in its intolerance to originality which I find quite refreshing. Q: Why this city is becoming more and more hip - if it's hip at all? A: Well, currently we're the only state that is trying to do away with the gross mistreatment of bicycles. I personally believe that all life is cosmic and everything has a life of it's own. So when I see human beings riding bicycles, I flash back to every rodeo and horse track I've protested. I mean really, what's the difference? Here's a fact. Did you know that the nerve endings in a bicycle are more sensitive then the nerve endings in the shell of a tortoise? When I see bicycle chained to a bicycle rack, I see slaves chained in the market at auction. Disgusting! Brother Huffman just printed up some bumper stickers that say, "One Less Bicycle On the Road."" We also have a t-shirt that says, "This is What a Radical Pedestrian Looks Like." Our friend, Bisp has a full facial tattoo that proudly declares, "Bicycles are my FriendsÉAnd I DonŐt Ride My Friends."" At least horses don't get sent to chop shops to have their body parts re-assembled into grotesque monsters. You should see some of the hideous violations riding up and down the street. Also, and this very controversial, but I believe that bicycle subjugation is really just inverted racism on a non-automobile level. Also, I find it very offensive when people call a bicycle a "bike". I mean really, you might as well just go ahead and call it a kike! Did you know that in China they still practice bicycle binding? Did you?! Did you know that tricycles and training wheels are used as a sexual fetish by pedophiles? Did you?! But still, Portland is very progressive which I find quite refreshing. Q: How you can explain opening closing sequences from Space Odyssey? A: Well, it starts off with the amazing beginning of The Monkees meteoritic rise to the top of the Pop charts. It ends with that amazing TV Special they did, "33 1/3 Revolutions Per Monkee". Kubric at his best. Q: Your Teachers. A: Ray Kroc, Rex Reed, Yogananda Paramahansa, Helen Keller, Bobby Sherman, Shirley Partridge ÉIn Walt Disney we trust. Q: Few words on latest art works from you. A: Me and my special friend, Josh Simmons are working on an epic, racial fantasy called, "The White Rhinoceros". It could very well be the best comic ever. Also, The All is Flowing Band, which is devotional music, is working on our first long-player about the Goat Fish Man called, "Because it was Unusual". Seven-Up Partridge plays all the instruments with his hands and feet. My old lady, Kaleidoscope opens her mouth and sweet-sounds vibrate in the Land of Now. We also have a lime-green, 45" for sale with two, vibrating songs about the Anne Frank Scene. However, the 45Ó is called "The Unpop Sound". We changed the name to the "All is Flowing Band" so we could say, "The All is Flowing Band", formerly the "Unpop Sound." For more information, dig the sight: http://www.discriminateaudio.com/theunpopsound.html Q: What can you say to Russia? A: You are the Mother I never had, but you gave me my baby Brother named Vlad. I will scoop you up in my arms and kiss you on the forehead as I tuck you into the soft and gentle folds of my mother's poncho. |
