11 Questions With...Spookey Ruben
>> Tuesday 2 June 2009
Ah, Spookey Ruben. There's a name that releases warm and velvety memories of halcyon afternoons watching MuchMusic's VideoFlow with my sis and her best friend. Outside, perfect weather and pristine skies went unnoticed as inside our little trio was glued to the nation's music station in transfixed wonderment, hoping to see the latest vids from mid-90s indie-darlings Pluto, Age of Electric, Treble Charger, or The Gandharvas.
During these lazy summer video-watching sessions, Spookey Ruben's "Wendy McDonald" made frequent appearances on Much, and we couldn't resist the delightfully strange video. I'm not sure what became of the aforementioned bands (I suppose I could google), but Spookey is still prospering, making quirky, diverse music and shooting webisodes for Exclaim, small clips featuring the likes of ex-Pumpkin Melissa Auf Der Mar, BSS's Brendan Canning, and John McEntire of The Sea and Cake.
Spooky is currently touring in support of his latest release Mechanical Royalty, making a stop in our fair town on Thursday at the Pyramid. And even though he has 867 unanswered emails, Spooky still took the time to answer 11 questions for me. Here's what he had to say:
1. Where are you right now?
IN BED WITH MY LAPTOP LOOKING AT 867 UNANSWERED EMAILS.
2. Who is the best Toronto-based band (other than your own, of course)?
CORPUSSE
3. What are your top three, all-time favourite records?
HAIRCUT 100 - PELICAN WEST
METALLICA - MASTER OF PUPPETS
RUSH - EXIT STAGE LEFT
4. What was the last great concert you saw?
GOJIRA AT MODCLUB, TORONTO - BLEW MY HEAD OFF.
5. PC or Mac?
ATARI 2600
6. Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert?
COLBERT
7. Would you rather have Invisibility or Flight?
FLIGHT AS IN WINGS, YES.
8. What is one song you love, but dismiss as “a guilty pleasure”?
PAPA DON'T PREACH - MADONNA
9. What book(s) are you currently reading?
THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW - C.S. LEWIS
10. What’s one film you watch over and over again?
ROSEMARY'S BABY
11. And finally…who’s your favourite New Kid on the Block (Donnie, Danny, Joey, Jordan, or Jonathan)?
WAHLBERG, YO.
Infinite Playlist: Pluto - S/T (listening for the first time in probably nine years)
