Mi smo Smetnjak in odločamo, kaj je 'čis' hudo', 'boln'ca' in 'kul'. Narekovaji so tam, ker sami teh besed ne bi uporabili. Nismo se gnali za takimi pristojnostmi, vaša hierarhija nas ne zanima. Izbrali ste nas sami. Izbrali ste naš okus. Častite ga, mi ga presegamo. Nimamo obrazov, a nas vaše punce, sestre in sosede prepoznajo. Vaši prijatelji nas želijo trepljati po ramah. Ne razglašamo, da nam ni mar za vaše občudovanje. Mlade porednice, ki ne potrebujejo prepričevanja, nas ne dolgočasijo. Dolgočasi nas hedonizem. In zdolgočasenost. Cinizem nas ne zanima. Včasih se sprehajamo v vetru. Preletavajoča vrečka nam je še vedno lahko izredna. Če se potrudimo, nam je zanimiv tudi Omar Naber. Ali Boys Noize. Črno za našimi nohti je menda šarmantno. Naša očarljivost ni namen, je pritiklina. Vedno ne gledamo, a pogosto vidimo. Skozi. Začutimo razliko med nič ne reči in modro molčati. Trudimo se, da bi vas imeli radi. Imamo vas radi. Vidite, kako preprosto nas je sovražiti. mi.smo@smetnjak.si
3. Which musician/music act did most significantly influence your music taste?
David Bowie, but I have to mention Lou Reed, Frank Black and P.J. Harvey too.

Red pill because I like the color red better than blue but if we are talking Matrix blue pill or red pill than definitely blue pill. I didn’t like those metal octopuses.
5. Which are your superpowers?
My superpower is knowledge that I don’t have a superpower.
6. Which song should have been on every CD recorded for the loved one?
I don’t know who DJ Umek is but the DJ part of his name makes me think that DJ Umek probably puts songs together in a certain order and than plays them with headphones on his head looking all serious.

Because it’s easy.

But I actually like his stuff, I still have his “Neuro” LP at home, released on the great Tehnika label (which also released the Octex album, still one of my all time favourites).

The red one please.

Sometimes it happens that I don’t really know what I’m doing with my gadgets on stage, but I look confident, so people think it’s part of the show and I’m doing it really well.
