We are once again very happy to have been able to collaborate with Boštjan Najžar from RADIOaktivno podcast (Facebook, YouTube), with whom we already worked for 'Umazane misli' subtitles. He very kindly reuploaded the deleted Demoni album presentation video on YouTube and we were able to provide subtitles for it!

Below you can find the transcription of our translation of the interview, which originally aired on 23.11.2021, on Radio Prlek/RADIOAktivno YouTube channel.

Transcript 👇

Everyone: We are Joker Out.

Bojan: And you're listening to Radioaktivno.

Host: 'Katrina' by Joker Out, all the members are with me today on Radioaktivno. New member Nace, Kris, Jure, Bojan and Jan. Hi!

Nace: Hello!

Kris: Hi, greetings.

Jure: Hi, hi.

Bojan: Good morning.

Jan: Same… also from me.

Well, even though it's already evening, I see your days are short or they turn immediately into mornings.

Jan: Yes, we usually wake up at 8pm, and stay awake for two days, and then we go to sleep.

Isn't 8pm already the end of the day, or is that when the soundchecks are over?

Bojan: We basically call it vampire rotation. So… We skip the soundchecks and then, when we wake up, we get out of our coffins and go straight to the stage.

So you don't like the light?

Bojan: No, we're not really comfortable with light, yes. Sunglasses are mandatory.

Kris: That's why we live in Ljubljana, where it's never really bright anyway.

I disagree. I was looking at some photos today, and when the sun was out over there, here it was still foggy.

Kris: See, that is why we are here today.

Bojan: Well said.

'Katrina'

Jure, we started with 'Katrina', with the single that launched your new album.

Jure: Yes, it's true. 'Katrina' is the first single we released at the end of August, before the album was out. What can I say? We also made a video for it with Mark Pirc.

Bojan: Maybe the most energetic, or one of the more energetic songs on the album. It kinda feels like this album is maybe a bit calmer compared to the first one, or more oriented towards, how should I say, yes, frustrating, restless moments. So 'Katrina' is, and let's say, 'Ne bi smel', which we will hear later, kind of represent the high point in terms of rythm, we think.

Today we also have in our company a new band member, Nace. How did you integrate into the band after a few weeks?

Nace: I will say, musically, I never doubted it, but as mates, or, rather, band-mates, we've been slowly growing into a little family, I think. We've spent quite a bit of time together now, in the span of a month, and I have to say, they've grown on me so much, like, yes, a family, right?

Have you passed all the tests, taken all the exams?

Nace: I mean, I had the last one yesterday, but, I have to say, that I didn't quite get an A, right?

Kris: And what was that test?

Nace: Well, about the history of Joker Out.

Kris: Oh, yes.

Nace: So I learned something new as well alongside the mistakes, right? But I've still got time.

I see though you have integrated into the band well, you've already got your sunglasses on.

Nace: It was a must-have, right away, as Bojan called me at the time, he said, "Do you have (sun)glasses?" I said, "I do". And that was it and he said, "I think we've found the one."

Bojan, do you have difficult admissions exams, then?

Bojan: Well, I wouldn't say we have difficult admissions exams. Rather for the reason that there are practically no admissions exams, the same thing happened with Jure and Nace. Basically, when we kind of said, we want him, it was more based on this energy that they were radiating, not so much just on musicality, or whatever you want to call it. And in both cases we made the right decision. Now, I believe that we are done deciding.

The next one will be 'Ne bi smel'.

'Ne bi smel'

Jan: Yes, 'Ne bi smel' is a song that we "should have" written, and it's actually, along with 'Katrina', quite a bit, it's the second most most energetic one. I think we had, I mean that Bojan, had maybe the most trouble with the writing of its lyrics, but…

Bojan: The most and the least trouble simultaneously.

Jan: Yes.

Jure: But I think the least work we had was with the instrumental, it got put together really quickly.

Bojan: This song is, well, good thing Jan took the microphone, because I wrote the lyrics for 'Ne bi smel' practically as they are today, crossed them out completely and Jan came into the rehersal space very upset and said to me, that I had to go back to the old lyrics, and I'm really…

Jan: You shouldn't have changed it.

Bojan: Yes, but I didn't know how else to…. So, yes, well, that song was just a big frustration for me, actually, because I've changed the lyrics so many times and ended up going back to the first version. But yes, enjoy.

'Ne bi smel' and Joker Out with their album 'Demoni' on Radioaktivno. Fresh from 'Umazane misli', you've released a new album.

Bojan: Yes, our ghostwriter was really diligent, so we were able to get the new material out very quickly. No, actually, we can't believe it ourselves how quickly the second album came to be. Especially because the first album was quite a torturous process, at least in the finishing touches, when it came to mixing, and we all thought that we got tired of making music and that there wouldn't be an album at least for a while. Then we really reached a moment when…

Jure: You know what happened? We set up the rehersal space.

Bojan: Yes.

Jure: And we announced Križanke, and then we were like, "Okay, now what? Maybe we need to go to Križanke…" Yes, we announced Križanke earlier than we started the album.

Kris: We sold it out before we started the album.

Jure: Yes, well, that too. We went to Križanke and we said, yes, well, we gotta release a new album, right, for Križanke.

Jan: But we've also sold it out promising this… the debut of a new album that hasn't even been made yet.

Jure: Yes, yes, we haven't done anything yet!

Bojan: When it hadn't even been planned yet.

Jan: Not one song, nothing.

Bojan: Nothing. We were like, "Hey, ten really sick songs, that for now don't exist yet, but we'll handle this later ."

But then these songs were created very quickly, because Križanke was in September of this year?

Kris: Yes, they were created quickly. I mean, if we're being completely honest, some have been in the making, even when we were making the first album, because, you know, you can't frustrate yourself with only ten songs, that you've been twisting for two and a half years, and Bojan in particular and I have written a few songs in between, or outlines. Then we built from that, when we started, the first draft. For the first draft.

Bojan: A first draft and an outline.

Kris: Right, a first outline.

Which means that things have been happening very fast for you lately?

Kris: Yes, things are moving quite fast, maybe, maybe even too fast for some. [someone gasps dramatically and Kris laughs] No, but in my opinion, we're all excited about it, and we're basically happy that everything can evolve so dynamically.

Can you all keep up?

Jure: I think so far yes, we have a great team around us, who really help us a lot. So, yes, we're keeping up with everything so far. A problem would arise if we didn't, right?

Bojan: And then we would break up. And in ten years' time we'll have a reunion and sell out some venues again and then break up again.

Jan: No, we must not disband now, because there's one Instagram page, a page called Joker.Out_nesmerazpadt [Joker.Out_ shouldnotbreakup]. So, let's not disappoint our fans.

Do you follow social networks well?

Jan: Yes, we must. Because, I mean, as someone who deals with social networks in the band, I feel like I spend a lot more time on my phone, doing whatever it is I'm actually doing, than making music. Which is a bit of a shame, but it's just how it is today, if the band itself promotes a brand of its own, its own image, you have to take care of the other things as well, that are not music.

Bojan: I think you should be grateful for all these references that you're going to be able to put to good use in PR and strategic management…

Jan: What, you mean if I wanted to get a job at Telekom?

Bojan: …when we break up and you'll be looking for a real job as a TikToker.

Someone: Manager.

'Plastika'

With the second one, we'll undergo surgery. It's time for 'Plastika'.

Bojan: Yes, 'Plastika' is a song that was written in the studio a few days before the album was released, basically. I didn't know what to write about, and there was an article in Delo about how 1/3 of Slovenian teenage girls want plastic surgery, and producer Žarko Pak looked at me from his chair and said, "Write a song about this." And I did.

Joker Out, 'Plastika', album 'Demoni' which we're playing today. You're not the luckiest with electricity. And if we connect this to Ormož.

Jure: Oh yes, yes, I mean, at our place we installed the wiring ourselves, so we're good electricians. But if the fuel runs out in the generator, it's not our fault, right.

Bojan: Yes, Ormož was such a lucky-unlucky situation, because we ran out of electricity during the concert, but luckily, that's the lucky part then, we were so, I would say, in the right mindset, that we went to stand on the speakers in front anyway, and sang and strummed on the acoustic guitar, until the power came back on, so it was actually one of those special little moments, and the flashlights and the lighters were on, you know, romance, people kissing, dancing, hugging, so, nice.

Does that mean you are also working on an acoustic repertoire?

Jure: Not yet.

Jan: Only in Ormož.

Jure: [laughing] Only in…

Bojan: Ormož special.

Jure: No, not yet, I think it's a bit early for acoustics. We'll do it later, in our old age, when we don't know what to do anymore.

As the older musicians say, when you go to their concerts, or like when you start playing around 5 or 7 PM at the latest.

Bojan: Yes, yes, that's it. Acoustic. Have a seat, and we'll be done at five.

Jure: Then let's go home and watch the news, you know, at seven.

Anyway, you have a lot going on right now, you sold out Križanke not long ago.

Kris: Križanke was just now, yes, actually, they seem… Even though it may be, we've been on holiday and I don't know, I think we did ten concerts in between, so Križanke seems like a long time ago. But now we're basically already heading to another bigger venue, Stožice, on October 6th, 2023. Yes, exclusively, exclusively for Radio Prlek. On the other hand, especially now with our latest single 'Demoni', we also have our eye on the Balkans and we're waiting to see if anything happens.

How do sold-out venues affect you?

Nace: I mean, I'm looking forward to Stožice for now, right, which I have no doubt will be sold out. So, anyway I don't know, I wasn't with them in Križanke, so I can't say that I've experienced it, but let's just say, that I look forward to everything that is coming.

Does this give you extra motivation to practice more?

Nace: I mean, if I may be a little cocky, I think I don't need to practice, right. But if you don't believe that, I recommend to come to a concert and listen to me play.

I see you have a good new member.

Bojan: Yes, yes.

Jure: Good at lyings, good at lying.

Bojan: Nace is a few years older than us, right, and he's…

Jan: Just by 30 years, right.

Bojan: 30 years older. …that he has quite a lot of experience. and he's a professional musician, so we're really just a bunch of amateurs compared to him, right, as far as practice is concerned, so I think, that Nace is quite right at this point, that if anybody needs a little bit of practice, it's us, and maybe me most of all, well, but let's move on.

Kris: To be completely honest, since being in the band Nace has requested to reherase the most. And even then we were like, "No, no, we don't need to", so… It's not entirely true, this facade that he's put up.

Nace, how much musical experience do you have, then? In which bands?

Nace: Me? I mean, oh… This question surprises me every time. I mean, with time, when you play so much you tend to forget people and I always find it hard to put a spotlight on people because I know, I will forget someone and I don't want for them… Well. What should I tell you?

Jan: About the cruise ship.

Nace: Oh, yes, as a fun fact, I can tell you that as an 18 year old I already went into the world, on a ship, on a cruise ship, to play where I spent half a year, I saw a bit of the world I came home and started to get a bit more involved in the Slovene music scene. So, maybe it's one of those things that most people have seen and I'm still a member of the 'Diamanti' band. RTV Slovenia programme 'Friday Evening'. And I was an accompanist for quite a lot of Slovene artists, I also recorded some things. So, I think that I've already left a mark, but it's far from final, and I think I will also leave one with the band, I'll bring something new to the band and show that… Who is, not who is Nace Jordan, but that I deserved this spot.

I almost heard, who is Nace Junkar?

Nace: You're not the first, well, but… as much… I'll say that Nace is a great person, right, as far as I got to know him, but I don't want to be mistaken for him. Jordan and Junkar, there is a slight difference

'Demoni'

The next one is 'Demoni'.

Jure: Oooh, little demons.

Bojan: Mhm.

Jure: The first one in Serbian. Bojan, I think it's best if you tell us more about it.

Bojan: Well, 'Demoni' is actually one of the first songs that I've written in Serbian in my life. The reason behind it was mostly or rather, let's say that the reason can be split into two parts. The first part is because we share the aspiration to go out of Slovenia's borders, to the Balkans, which are familiar to us. And the second part is that my roots are Serbian and I always wanted for my grandma to understand what I'm singing about because she always tells me "Yes, it's a lovely song," but if you don't understand it completely then it doesn't have that much meaning, right I've always wished for her to be able to understand so now she understands. Though she wasn't that excited about…

Jure: Right, she wasn't, I was just about to ask…

Bojan: No, that there're demons, it confused her. Why demons, is there something wrong with them, like that. But nothing is wrong, grandma, everything is all right. Everything is all right, grandma.

Demoni' from Joker Out on the Radioaktivno show. Exit was this year. A Serbian festival, world renowned, with a lot of people. Did you have fun there?

Kris: We had a lot of fun. Above all it was our first non Slovene concert experience for us. Before that we played in Poreč but more for Slovene students. So it was our first time introducing ourselves to the international crowd. And one might say that the majority of the crowd were Slovenians, but I was under the impression that a few foreigners were also impressed by our concert and that we left a mark, now we're hoping to be called back to Novi Sad because we had so much fun during those days when we were there.

Bojan (in Serbian): Brothers, call us, we would very much like to come back.

Have you then made a grand enough entrance through the doors to the Balkans?

Jan: Yes, we rang…

Bojan: With a club.

Jan: …with a hammer on the door. I don't know, I mean… I think that after a concert in Stožice the band that does it, also needs something new, something fresh. So, outside of Slovenian borders, there are many ears who want good music. So I think that Serbia is a great destination.

Nevertheless, the title of the album is after a song that is in the Serbian language.

Bojan: Well, that isn't that relevant. The title of the album was actually chosen because we thought that the word demons sums up all these elements we were surrounded with from Cvetličarna onward pretty well. Demons represent good responses bad responses, demons were sleepless nights, a lot of concerts, demons are the new songs that aren't made yet, demons were Križanke, that we sold out without having an album. Basically, a lot of demons were keeping us company we were each other's demons, because we were together all the time, maybe we were fed up with each other in some moments maybe we missed each other in some moments. So we really thought that this very short and clearly defined word that covers a broad spectrum of things that were happening to us. Not just negative but also positive, but yes.

Are you ever asked why Serbian and not English? Because the majority of artists create in English to break into the international market?

Jure: Well no, I think we aren't asked this much but I think that each one who starts working in English in Slovenia comes back to Slovene at the end.

Kris: We'll come to that. We have …

Jure: But yes.

Kris: We have a more long term tactic than most Balkan artists. First, go to the South, then through the South to the North, through the diaspora. So, first we have to conquer Serbians and Croats and all the others and so…

Bojan: and Bosnians and North Macedonia...

Kris: …and all the nationalities in between then we can go to whichever German, Swiss Austrian club to play.

Bojan: Well, no, you know what, being an author and wanting to stay authentic it's beneficial to stay in the language that suits your creative process and Serbian is my mother tongue which I think I expressed myself quite well in, right. Especially considering it's my first try. We'll see about English, I need more practice. I listened to an interview and I am pretty stiff... In English I mean.

Everyone: [laughter]

Practice makes perfect, they say.

Bojan: It wasn't planned. Yes, practice makes perfect.

Kris: You mean, have you listened to that interview yet?

Bojan: No, I haven't. I lied. But It's not like anyone can tell.

'Padam'

Next one is 'Padam'.

Kris: 'Padam' may be the first song that we envisioned for the new album to me it seemed that it defined the direction and vibe for the album very well. But when Bojan was playing it to us, it was very, very different. It was more suited to a band format than it is now. Do you remember?

Jure: Yes.

Kris: Yes, it had a demo with drums and that. Yes, I think so. I was sure then, that, that it would be, because it was a strong song lyrically and melodically and I was sure that it would be the biggest single of the album. But then, over the album making process, we somehow changed it and stripped it down and turned it into some kind of an acoustic ballad that really forces you to listen to the lyrics. Maybe it's not a banger as it used to be but it stands out more.

Bojan: So if someone says that Joker Out is a band that only wants hits it's just not true. This is a lie.

Also ballads.

Bojan: Also ballads.

Jure: That are hits, of course.

Bojan: Yes, yes. Right, that's a given, it's a given, god willing.

This time you offered us ten songs. It's interesting that you haven't released singles before but you first offered the album and 'Katrina' at the same time. Different approach than with the previous album where singles were combined in an album.

Kris: Yes, well in an ideal world we could release a few singles before the album release but we wanted to have two whole albums released in such short time that we actually didn't have time to deal with the process of releasing singles before the album release. But we'll definitely release a lot of singles from this album after it's out. So, 'Katrina' is released and 'Demoni', and then a lot of things can come. Also, for example, a song that to many didn't look like a single from the album could be released with a music video. When we released the album, there were I wouldn't say mixed responses but different people liked different songs. Now they maybe figured out which ones are more favourites and which aren't. But anyway, there's something for everyone on the album every listener can find a song or two on the album that are their favourites. And it's not as if it's so unevenly distributed.

Nace, how many times have you listened to both albums?

Nace: To both? I mean, I listened to the first one more for sure, since it has been out for longer, right. Otherwise, I listened to the second one immediately when it was released, I started listening to it in order to learn it. So I practically listened to it at least once per day for a month when the boys were vacationing. And maybe I might have gone over the guitar part as well, while driving, so, out loud, through Ljubljana, windows down, you know how it goes.

Bojan: You were driving, you were driving with a guitar in your car. Are you insane?

Nace: Look, I knew that I couldn't come there and not know, so I took advantage of every minute. I'm driving from Kranj, you know that is half an hour every day, when you go to Ljubljana, and it comes in handy. You know, a rush hour and you can… At least that bit of 'Padam' where tha bass comes in you know, I can practice it in between.

If we focus on sound, can you compare it to the debut album?

Jan: No. I mean, in some aspects, yes we're still us, the same people that also created the first album but the first album was recorded very sporadically. First, we recorded some drums, then the bass three months later, then we were recording the guitars for half a year every day, for a few hours and it dragged on, the thought process wasn't connected but it was more fragmented. So yes, I think that this album because for the most part we recorded it all together it works more coherently, in regards to sound.

Kris: If I may add, besides the whole process that influenced the sound, with this album we paid much more attention to the sound in post-production and instead of Žare who mixed the first album we found Todd Burke from LA this time who is a mixing and recording engineer there and he actually contributed a lot and he elevated the professional level of the whole product.

It means that you went from disorder to order?

Jan: We went from a mess to a blooming meadow, yes.

Who is the main author, or rather how do you create?

Bojan: Well, I'm the main author but this album was really like… What can be heard… What can be heard on the album was really a product of all of us because it was actually being made at the rehearsal space Songs were changing a lot from day to day from moment to moment. We tried a thousand and one versions for each one all ideas were welcome so I think that we truly found what everyone liked the best for each song.

As can we can see, now your rehearsal space is pretty nicely done.

Bojan: Yes, our rehearsal space is actually like our holy temple that we built ourselves. And we are immensely proud of it. Here, I think Jure is the most suitable to talk about it because he was, I'll say, the main author.

Jure: Installed the wiring and… Yes. Yes, we have a lovely space now, yes. It's nice, it's nice to come to the space and feel at home. Because it's a different energy and you can be more creative. I remember the beginnings, when we made the space when we first played there, do you remember it?

Bojan: Yes, yes.

Jure: When it was like, "Oh, sick."

Bojan: And then Maček, he thought it was so sick that he slept there for a week.

Jure: I do that even now.

Bojan: The rehearsal space influenced the album's creation a lot. Really, so I would say that a space is one of key elements for the band.

'Vse kar vem'

The second part is the lyrics, who's in charge of those?

Kris: Yes, again, for the most part, Bojan. although on this album one was written entirely by me, and one was a collaborative effort, between me and Bojan. That's actually the very next song, 'Vse kar vem', which we basically, I had an outline of the chorus, when last year, in March 2021, we went…

Jure: That's almost two years ago then.

Kris: Right, no, a year and a half. A year and a half.

Jan: Where were we?

Bojan: You've already had that in Šentjernej

Kris: I'd had it in Šentjernej already? Okay.

Bojan: Yeah, you've already revealed a bit of the chorus.

Kris: Oh, okay, interesting. Well, but we worked it out in March 2021, when we went to a hunting lodge in Lower Carniola and we took the chorus, Bojči changed the vocal melody slightly, we kept the lyrics and we made it into a whole song, which is basically based on these four chords. And he wrote segments of the lyrics, from the verses and the stanzas and the song grew spontaneously. I don't know if either of us even really knows what it means, because the stanzas are kind of in contrast to the chorus, but they come together very well.

On the album cover you are surrounded by mirrors and flowers. Except Nace, you are not there yet.

Nace: That, you asked the wrong person. It's just, when I look at the album cover, ah, the cover's pretty wicked. If you look at all the details in the background, how the guys are positioned, take your time, because I think you should dig into it at least a little bit and admire.

Kris: The album cover, if I may add, basically, if you'd like to see more details of how it was made, or what it all looked like, our new video 'Demoni', which was released a while ago, was basically shot on the same set and the same day, as we were doing the photoshoot for the album cover and it kind of visually supports the title track of the album.

Jure, is there something you wanted to add? For the album cover?

Jure: That they should buy the CD if they wish to see it.

Bojan: I would just add, that we are extremely happy and very grateful for the team, that was responsible for this creation. There was Primož Lukežič on camera along with Mark Pirc on the conceptual design, Andraž Drobnič on the graphic design and Damir, or Ponorelli, who did such a good job of styling us.

Who is in charge of your image?

Jan: Partly ourselves, for…

Bojan: Partly our parents.

Jan: Partly the parents, yes, they take us to Nama occasionally. Well, for the big concerts, for the videos and for the album cover, for the videos 'Katrina' and 'Demoni' and for the concert in Križanke, Damir Ponorelii handled the projects for us. Damir Raković Ponorelii. A good name. Well done, Damir.

Bojan: Rakičan.

Jan: Yeah, I think he, sometimes it's good to have a sixth eye. When we try to style ourselves for a concert and things don't…

Bojan: You mean the 11th and 12th eye?

Jan: Yes. Yeah, I mean, yeah. Right. He's probably got a 13th eye as well, right.

As you mentioned, you also filmed the most recent single, 'Demoni', in the same style?

Bojan: Yeah, we shot the video on the same day, as Kris said earlier, the same day that we shot the cover photo. So, it's seemed quite logical for us to make the most of this set, that's been set up in the studio, the guys have brought from the Ljubljana Marshes the whole covering, the mirrors were set up and it really kind of encapsulated the mood of the song of 'Demoni' and the album itself. And I believe we were pretty much done in two hours. Actually, the post-production was probably more complex for Mark. As you can see in the video, it took a little bit of video-shop skills as well, or whatever they're called.

Kris: Uh, if I may comment, you haven't actually heard this before. A while ago, when Jure and I were guests on the radio, the host said that when he first looked at the video, he was genuinely frightened. That he was a little bit thrown off, right, when he watched it. So in my opinion, we've achieved with the video what we set out to do.

Today, actually, video production is a necessity.

Kris: Yes, it is. Especially for the Balkan market, I believe, a song doesn't exist if it doesn't have a visualization, right, and a video is your way in if you want to. In Slovenia, we still have this way of life, where one would indeed listen to an album or buy a CD, which is nice to know, no.

'Ona'

'Ona' will be next, also in Serbian, and Bojan curses in it. How so? Or is it coincidental?

Bojan: Yeah, you know what, this cursing infiltrated itself very spontaneously in the lyrics. And I'm not the biggest fan of that kind of thing in principle, but it seems to me that in the whole context of the song, that phrase was very fitting, it's just an expression anyway. The thing that you really don't give a * for something, is just part of everyday vocabulary, including me at home. and when I showed it to my parents, they thought it was pretty amusing, not vulgar, and I don't think it's vulgar either, so yeah.

Jure: I'm interested in what your grandma said.

Bojan: But Grandma was mor… Okay, here we go. Grandma was slightly offended the first time she heard it. The deal is, she couldn't quite imagine how anyone could just put something like that it in a song, right. But she told me a month ago, that she really, really loves listening to this song now and that she thinks it is hilarious.

Jure: Yeah, well, come on.

See, now Bojan is no longer a nice little boy.

Jure: Now grandma knows what you're up to, right.

Bojan: Now he's a nice little girl.

How did the listeners respond to the second album?

Jan: According to the interactions we had with them live and through social networks, I'd say pretty good, right. I mean, maybe it wasn't what they were expecting, it definitely wasn't, they weren't expecting techno, bangers and what else we've got, yeah, the Beatles on acid, but I think we've intrigued them, that we kind of poked them, which I think is quite welcome.

The reviews are also positive, as you can read online?

Kris: Well, you know, I've read two so far. One was Croatian and one Slovenian. The Croatian one was maybe even a little bit more positive. The Slovenian one was, basically, based on it still being Shagadelic rock'n'roll or not. See, I don't know, maybe it is, maybe it isn't.

Bojan: You know, how you can ask the creator…, anyway, we invented Shagadelic rock'n'roll, right, so, whatever is made by the one who invented it, it's just it.

Jure: It just is.

Bojan: You can't…

Kris: I mean, yeah, okay, I totally agree with that, but you know, they've just based their impression of what Shagadelic rock'n'roll is on our first album, and maybe for most Shagadelic rock'n'roll is, what 'Umazane misli' was. But you have to allow for the possibility, for it to develop, because if you don't you're going to be listening to 'Umazane misli' 2, 3, 4, and 5 for the rest of your life, and we wouldn't want do that. We have decided for the morning after 'Umazane misli' and that is what 'Demoni' is.

What about the initial reactions from the Balkans?

Bojan: Last time we were backstage with Buč Kesidi, who are, let's just say that, at the moment the most active band in the Balkans from the younger generation and they were very, very, very, very, very excited about the album. And for Demoni, they said, "This, bro, is such a bomb, bro, it's gonna be a megahit, bro. I mean, literally, it's killing it, bro."

I mean, Bojan, this sounded very authentic just now and exactly as they'd say it.

Bojan: Yes, yes. That's exactly how it was, right. I didn't make a thing up.

Kris: He basically played the recording just now, since the listeners won't be able to tell.

Probably. Nace, are the listeners the main critics then, underneath the stage, in front of the stage.

Nace: I mean almost certainly. I mean, that's who this music is being made for, they're the reason we go on the road and perform. So I think it couldn't be any other way.

How have they received you as the new member? Is there more buzz around you now?

Nace: I'm not sure if I'm in the spotlight. And I think that neither they nor I, or anyone else for that matter has tried to thrust me into it. But it seems to me, just moving from concert to concert, that they're warming up to me, and so on… They're already shouting, "Nace!" and it feels really nice.

Kris: Has anyone approached you for a photo?

Nace: Yes, they have…

Bojan: They already have.

Nace: They have, they have.

Kris: Oh, great. This is a good sign.

'Tokio'

Next one up will be 'Tokio'.

Jure: Oooh, 'Tokio'. We love playing that one at concerts. I dunno, it's such a vibrant song, really. I'm lost for words…

Bojan: You're full of fun ideas…

Jure: No, you know what, it's 8 PM and my mind's blank.

Bojan: Okay, okay, yeah, we just woke up. Well, the reason is, 'Tokio' is actually… 'Tokio' because my first demo was in English, it was a bunch of gibberish, but in between was 'Dancing in the Streets of Tokyo' and Žarko insisted that this catchphrase has to stay. So, then we were making jokes a bit, about playing in Japan, and that's why I included two sentences in Japanese. And it was really cool, because when we were recording the vocals, we were like, "Okay, what's the Japanese pronunciation now?" and then we called Jan's ex-classmates who are studying Japanese studies, to tell us how to pronounce it, and we called a Japanese lady, someone Žare knew…

Kris: Some Slovenian man, married to a Japanese lady, no idea really, but, Mami Narita…

Bojan: Yes, yes, Mami Narita…

Kris: Yes, yes, yes it's not a joke at all. It's, it's, maybe you should leave this out, so it's not on record, but, it was actually her name, Mami Narita.

Bojan: Don't put this in in, please.

Jure: Yeah, well, whatever, it's a name. Whatever?

Bojan: I mean, she could be the only one in Slovenia.

Or, if you know the singer Stella, you can get in touch now, she's just gone to Japan to study.

Jure: Really?

Bojan: Well, here we go.

Jure: We've met Stella, haven't we?

Bojan: We know Stella, yes. We haven't been in touch for a while, though, but, right, Stella's a great girl. We've met Stella, but, yeah, we're probably not going to be hanging out that much, obviously, if she's going to Japan.

She's already there.

Bojan: She's already there? Maybe we'll visit.

Kris: Maybe the song is about Stella.

You've had a vacation since Križanke, was it an active one or not?

Jan: Yeah, I went to Littoral Slovenia for a week, with a tiny keyboard , among the goats and the hills above the Vipava Valley. And then Jure and I went caravanning around Germany, where our tyre blew up twice, but let's leave out the details. And we bought some new equipment, so, yeah, it was spent actively in part and in part, we did rest.

What about you Bojan?

Bojan: I've spent a few days at the seaside, a few days in Banja Luka at my grandma's, lounging on the sofa all day, eating čevapi and drinking Coca Cola. One day I literally got up from the sofa in the evening, and my grandma said, " Where are you going?" And I said "I'm going to grab something to eat." "No, I'll go!" So I literally wasn't allowed to do anything.

Jure, besides Germany?

Jure: Besides Germany, a week at the sea and afterwards we went to the seaside together, for a couple of days. I don't know, it was nice, but we haven't vacationed in so long, it was a bit weird to go on holiday, right. It's not my usual mode.

Kris?

Kris: Yeah, I've had, let's say, the least, the least laid-back kind of vacation, because on the same night after Križanke, I flew to Peru, where I spent three weeks. We hiked and travelled and basically got very little sleep. All in all, it was a good experience and it basically was the only time when I could make a trip like that possible, a kind of collective vacation, but we had a chance to relax a bit when I got back, we went to Pula for a couple of days, as the guys have already mentioned. and that was my, let's say, my actual time off.

Nace, all you did was practice?

Nace: I did, for the whole month basically, like I've mentioned, and when I didn't practice, I was driving around in the car, and then I practiced in the car.

Bojan: What about the fish?

Nace: That's it, right. And then we went to Pula together that week, that was, what, the last week? Before the first concert, we got to know each other…

Kris: That was the first week of October.

Nace: …a little bit better. The first week of October, yeah. So we had a good time. And then straight to the gig, it was well, yeah. And the fish… Actually, yeah, Bojan and I got a new hobby, we took up fishing, but we've spent a fair amount of time fishing and I have to say, so far, without success. But it's nice, so if anyone knows, a serious fisherman, Bojan and I are really looking for someone, who would take us to a place where we could catch a fish. Even if it's to an aquarium. Just so it happens.

Did you set the wrong bait?

Nace: No, we've tried every bait in the world.

Bojan: I mean, really, we Googled it, we did everything right in theory, but we really didn't catch more than two seabream, and even they were really the size of this microphone I'm talking into. And a fun-fact, just a quick one, Nace took me to a pond, to go fishing, right, because that's where you catch fish. We got to the pond and the gentleman who manages the pond said…

Jure: Fish farm.

Bojan: I mean, yeah, he said… We said, "Where do we buy a ticket?" and he said "Well, no need, there aren't any fish anyway. You can just go for free." Naturally, we didn't catch a thing.

The interview will proceed a little differently, I'm not the one asking the questions anymore, you'll get a new interviewer. Last week I hosted Slick, a rapper from Velenje, with his album 'Sveža plat' ('Fresh Side'), and he asked you four questions. The first question is:

Slick: If you could collaborate with any musician in the history, who would you choose?

Jan: Well, let's say Vivaldi.

Jure (?): Oh, that's what I was going to say…

Jan: Imagine, you know, he shreds on a violin, I shred on a guitar… brrrrrr…

Bojan: I'd say, from the top of my head, Maček, you. Tell me.

Jure: Oh, I guess The Beatles.

Kris: David Bowie.

Nace: Led Zeppelin. To be fair, I've already got Bonham in the band, I'm getting there I'm getting there.

The second question:

Slick: How often do you tell yourself that you don't have time and is that really the case?

Nace: I mean, I say that to myself every minute, but I don't know if it is true. I mean, we all like to whine a little bit sometimes, don't we.

Kris: Yeah, I say I don't have time a lot, but I know that for certain things, that you want to make time for, you take the time.

Jure: Yeah, I agree with Kris, yeah. But our profession is such, that we're not home on the weekends and when someone asks you if you wanna go to a party, or have a drink, you just say you don't have time, right. So, yeah, we don't have time. That happens a lot.

Bojan: I would say, that if … I'd say I don't have time, I'd be lying at some point. But during the summer I actually didn't have time to even think about whether I had time or not. So I am glad that the summer is over.

Jan: Yeah, sometimes you have to put your feet up, so, sometimes I use that excuse to be able to…

Jure: Lie down.

Jan: To lie down, yeah. I mean, I don't actually have much time, but not to have time at all, well, there's that. And stil.

The third question Slick asks you is who in your family has had the biggest impact on the person you are today?

Jan: Probably my mother and my brother…

Bojan: You can't name more people, hey.

Jan: Oh, just one? I guess, as far as music goes, definitely my brother, because he's also a music producer and he was the one who first introduced me to music, and without him I doubt I would be heading in this direction.

Bojan: I would say my father. He's kind of also the biggest supporter of what's going on in my musical head, and whatever's going on with us and he's actually really, really, really happy with all the success. And even when there's failure, he knows just what to say to calm me down.

Jure: You know what, I've been locked in a cellar, and my dad's always said I was made for a pick and a shovel, so…

Bojan: And he wasn't far from the truth.

Jure: Well, yeah, yeah, parents, naturally, right. That's it.

Bojan: Why parents, you have to choose one person…

Jure: Well I can't choose one.

Bojan: How come?

Jue: I can't.

Bojan: Come on.

Jure: They come together.

Bojan: Break someone's heart, won't you?

Jure: Yeah, then I'll say my sister.

Bojan: Here, good one.

Kris?

Kris: For me, I would think it would be quite hard to tell, who has influenced my musical career the most, right, but it is definitely going to be my dad, who was the first who put a guitar in my hands when I wished for one.

Nace: For me, in music, it's must be my cousin, right, because we essentially grew up as brothers. and he brought the guitar to our house, and that's what made me… And he had a band and then I wanted that too, except he's a few years older than me.

And one last question, Did you eat cheese?

Nace: I did.

Kris: I did.

Jure: Yes, I like it very much.

Bojan: I love cheese, too.

Jan: Yes, I've eaten it many times.

Then afterwards you have the same task, so you can start thinking about it, each of you will ask one question to the next guest.

'NGVOT'

The second to last one we're going to play today will be 'Ne govoriva več o tem'. also known as 'NGVOT'.

Kris: More specifically Ngvot. We have chosen that title because, I think that when I first brought the song to the rehearsals in 2018, I already had it spelled out that way. And then, when we wrote it on the setlists it was always 'NGVOT', because it's just too many words, to cram them all into one setlist. But, what's the story behind this song? Because it's a bit different in atmosphere and maybe more naive than the rest of the album. It's a song, as I said, that was made in 2018 and which we kind of, we never really liked it very, very much, but we played it because we needed to be fill our setlist. And then, fortunately or unfortunately for us, it really clicked for us in the concerts, our fans really took to it as one of their songs, and they sang along beautifully at concerts and we basically couldn't imagine doing the second album without the song. So, then we got creative, and we adapted it a little bit into a form that fit us, that was very different from what we played before the album came out. But actually, it fits very nicely now, I think, right. It comes in handy.

Joker Out, to round up this conversation, I see you have very busy days what challenges lie ahead, besides Stožice next year? It's just around the corner.

Jan: We have quite a few plans for the future, which… I don't know if I'd give them away yet, no. But it's… Maybe, at this point it looks like we're going to Hamburg to record the English versions of our songs. That's also a partial answer to the previous question, for Kris, or for anybody, why Serbian and not English. English is coming too.

Bojan: So, that we can join those bands, that go to English and then go back to Slovenian really quickly.

I see you still have CDs as a sound medium? Is that it?

Jure: Yes, and we have a LPs as well. They sell out even faster than CDs, actually, I think. They've made a comeback recently. It seems to me that you have to have this product. When you release an album you have to feel the CD in your hand to say OK, now we've got this.

Bojan: I am absolutely thrilled. I thought we were selling tea coasters all along. Bear coasters, you know?

But you don't sell ID cards.

Kris: Yeah, here we go. Yeah, buy our CD or LP.

Everything about how to get the LP on the website?

Kris: Absolutely, our website is the best guide sign you'll ever see, It's all clearly visible on it, come and have a look.

Bojan: www.allyourneedsunderoneroof.com

And there's a mention of Joker Out somewhere.

Kris:Yeah.

Bojan: Yeah, somewhere at the bottom.

Kris: In sidenotes, right.

Bojan: Yeah, yeah.

You mentioned earlier that there's going to be more singles from the album, not just the two that are already released?

Nace: I think there will be, right. It's just a question of when. Well, 'Demoni' have arrived on Halloween, and now to the next step.

Kris: Yeah, so, well, what should I say...

Jure: Something else might be released, live from Križanke.

Kris: I'm sure there'll be some more live footage, but for now we've got a couple of songs coming out as singles. For me, maybe, I'm not saying it's going to be a single, but I feel 'Ne bi smel' is very much singlelike, the second song on the album. And maybe the others should share which one they see as a single.

Nace: I mean, I also see 'Ona' as a single, right. Definitely. If nothing else, when we play it live, it's it for me. It could be.

Bojan: Honestly, I'll say it like this. Let's give it time, but I think, sooner or later, every single one of these songs is gonna have its singlelike moment. So, keep your eyes open for the videos, the video material, let's not restrict ourselves, you can also find on our website a couple of nice pieces of furniture or home accessories, so you're welcome to visit.

And then in a few more sleeps, it will be the 6th of October 2023.

Jure: Yeah, that'll be quick.

Bojan: What happens then?

Jure: Yeah, Stožice, right. That's it, quick, get the tickets, because they're going to be sold out. I don't know, I feel like we can't wait. Although, we've been waiting six months for Križanke, and it's been pretty exhausting. Now we have to wait a year, so it's only going to get more exhausting.

Bojan: Yeah. Well, the problem with Stožice is, is that truthfully they're so surreal, that, I mean, I really remember the first time we ever set foot in Stožice, when we played at Ritem mladosti (Rhythm of Youth), as an opening band at 7pm, and we said, "Wow, hey, can you imagine everyone coming here because of you, can you?" And now, like three or four years later it's going to happen and it doesn't feel real yet.

'Novi val'

I think we tie this to the last track 'Novi val'.

Bojan: 'Novi val' is one very, very special song for me, because it emerged, from one, how should I say, direct impulse from nature and that was when the fires broke out in the Karst. That's when this phrase came, "Where shall we go from here if we are already setting the horizon ablaze?" and the song was built around that. We kind of felt, that there was a generation, a few generations younger, and maybe a couple of generations older than us, entagled in it, in this preconception that maybe we don't know quite what to do with ourselves or that we are not a good enough contrib… What do you call it, a contribuator to society? I've just made up a word for that. Basically, this song is a bit like I would say an expression of any young person at the moment, who knows that they matter, who knows that their voice counts. and who wants a better tomorrow.

'Novi val' to wrap up this conversation, Jan, Bojan, Jure, Kris and Nace, thank you, for being guests on Radioaktivno and may you be successful and hard-working on your journey. And see you again in a year with the new album?

Bojan: Absolutely, thank you very much for having us, we had a great time last year as well, we remember that interview as a nice one, next year we don't know if there will be an album, but we'll be fresh out of Stožice, really.

Jan: Yeah, thanks for the invitation, we'd love to come again. I agree with what Bojan said.

Jure: I wish everybody a good night, right.

Kris: Good night everyone, the third album may not be next year, but I'm sure there'll be a lot of things to listen to and see.

Jure: But it will be the next one.

Kris: It will be the next one.

Nace: Same from me, right, see you in Stožice. I'm Nace. Still, something like that.

All: We're Joker Out,

Bojan: and you're listening to Radioaktivno.

PLEAAAAASEEEE DUMP ABOUT OLSENWIIIICCKKKKK🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

your wish is my command i adore these stupid faggots

Kirby & Trent 🍰🎬

inhalesssssss

these two are incredibly bonded despite everything.

but they damn sure didnt get off on a good start.

following my personal timeline trent had just broken things off with cornelius. and neither of them were particularly closeted or reserved about their faggotry.

so for a good minute kirby didnt even want to be seen talking to his gay ass at all in case it gave him a Reputation.

by some miracle they started talking, or rather, hurling insults at eachother thanks to trent spilling punch on kirby at the jock's halloween party.

the jocks love hosting shitass parties for a number of stupid reasons, you see. and trent likes getting wasted.

after a rough encounter at the punch bowl the two continued taunting eachother every time they made eye contact.

for entirety of one whole week, at least. then trent decided 'hey he's kinda cute when he's angry'

and so began the incredibly arduous task of: flirting with kirby until he stops yelling slurs (and throwing hands).

thankfully this Also took about a week and they moved onto just mumbling slurs inbetween smooches because of how insanely, well, sexually frustrated they were.

these teens are fucking insane but thats just how bullworth is.

trent then worked up the nerve to ask him on an actual date, kirby begrudgingly agreed, jimmy busted them while getting on pinky's good side, aaand trent got his ear chewed off for it.

they fought about kirby's whole internalized homophobia at this time cause he damn sure wasnt the only faggot in school.

(and it was really getting under trent's skin because he was practically hatecrimed out of his last relationship)

they weren't technically boyfriends at that point due to kirby's insistence. but it felt like a breakup all the same.

they got back together at the jock's christmas party though. something something 7 minutes in heaven i dont know and i dont want to particularly put much thought into that.

point being shit was messy for a hot minute but trent showed kirby things about himself he could Not ignore.

so he wanted to try again with him. and this time he chilled out on practically Hating the guy he was macking on.

trent also cooled it with how, well, Bold he could be. actually made an effort to not embarrass kirby in public and whatnot.

things had to be lowkey in order to not be harassed of course.

but trent's mere presence was enough to turn kirby's ears pink sometimes.

in the bleachers, across the cafeteria, walking down the street, etc.

and god help him when they're paired up in class.

kirby loved the rush all the same though. and trent just found him fuckin incredible if i'm frank.

trent spoke highly of him to his friends, and sometimes just outright dragged them to see kirby on the field or in the arcade absolutely killing it on DDR.

they were much more forward in private of course, even if kirby was incredibly slow to open up about most of his interests and genuine self.

trent helped with that from the start; showing him how to be authentic and happy with himself.

same as all actors allow others to Reflect on their performances.

and over time kirby started to see through trent's own act.

grounded him, tried keeping him sober, etc.

if he had to keep it real and face his own reality, well, so did trent.

and honestly kirby wasnt a fan of the concept of getting shitfaced in general. didnt smoke, seldom drank, didnt huff anything.

that being said trent and him Did bake some edibles once or twice.

split one, went to the movies again, trent got shushed by old people several times because he wouldnt stop rambling.

now That was a fun time.

experimenting with formatting, hope this isnt Awful to read thru lol. also fun fact i hate spotify but i hate youtube links more.

I explore heavy subject matter due to the source media of both f/os. Heavier warning for House Guest because it gets a bit intense. Please remember that none of my ships should be read as abusive. I just enjoy exploring these complex characters through hypotheticals and am only working within what the creators have stated about their personalities.

I sometimes post suggestive text/memes/art so please block tags such as [suggestive text] or [suggestive] if ur uncomfortable or a minor.

Do not also interact if you share f/os. Please just be nice! I'm still figuring out how to sort this blog up!

How to romanticise Spring:

Some ideas and things you can do to romanticise the Spring season 🫧˚˖𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒✧˚.🧚🏻‍♀️.

Spring Wardrobe - Spring is the perfect time to start integrating new pieces into your wardrobe. Long flowing dresses, maxi skirts, pretty blouses, milkmaid dresses/shirts, rompers, dungarees, mini skirts, cami’s and so much more. Make sure to add a pair of new Spring pumps (Mary janes are perfect) and some pretty floral hair bandanna’s and flower crowns in there too. Pastel pinks, yellows, blues, greens and white fit perfect for this time of year, along with patterns and materials like floral print and lace 🩰

Change your eating habits. Put away the comfort food from winter and indulge in the delicious delicacy’s of Spring. Fresh fruit and vegetables can make endless recipes for Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner, sweet things like Oatmeal, Honey, gelato and any particularly sweet fruits are perfect for this time of year 🍒🥗🍵

Consume Spring media 💐 The media you consume affects your mood, consuming uplifting Spring content will not only make you feel happier in yourself, but will also make you look forward to and romanticise the season more. I have a list of Movies, TV shows & books you can consume in Spring that I will be uploading shortly ☀️

Read Spring books. There are SO many out there, classics are perfect for this time of year but any whimsical, forest-core, fantasy story’s like “The Hobbit” or “The legend of King Arthur” are perfect too 📖

Listen to classical music, movie soundtracks and pretty instrumentals whenever you are doing any of the following activities (I find it helps romanticising a lot! 🎶🌷)

Have a picnic outside - Bring a wicker picnic basket, beautiful picnic blanket, fancy plates and cutlery and have a picnic fit for a countryside princess outside, either at the park or in a field. Wear a big sun hat to keep shaded from the sun and be sure to bring the essentials (Princess picnic food can include miniature sandwiches, scones, cookies, cakes & cupcakes, fruits like strawberries, cherries and apples, any snacks you can think of, lemonade and sweet iced tea) 🌷

Host a Tea Party (either indoors or outside) Set a table with all your finest dinnerware pieces, wear a floaty dress and white gloves, and use your most precious Teapot to pour fruity and sweet flavoured teas into any delicate teacups you can find. You can even make this Bridgerton inspired and have a high-tea esque party. With cookies and strawberry shortcake, cupcakes and miniature sandwiches. Make sure to set the table with a pretty tablecloth, fresh flowers and napkins/fine cutlery for yourself or your guests. Play some classical music and enjoy 🫖

Go berry/fruit picking. This time of year is perfect for Strawberry, Cherry’s & fruit picking in general. Wear a big straw hat, a long dress and don’t forget to bring your basket with you to collect the fruit in 🍓

Visit a flower field 🌸 💐 this time of year, flowers are in full bloom. Wear the most beautiful dress and a flower crown, so you are ready to twirl in the flower fields to your hearts content 🌷

Bake new Spring recipes. There are SO many Spring/Easter baking ideas on Pinterest. Have a look at any and compile a list of Bakes you want to try this Spring season 🍰

Cook new Spring recipes, you can even incorporate any new foods you have tried into the recipes and be sure to write them down in your recipe book 🥧

Make flower crowns! You can use fresh flowers or fake flowers, some wire or plain headbands. Get creative with them, use flowers, gems, lace, ribbon (this is a lovely activity to do with friends outside) 🌸

Press flowers (Such a Spring fairy activity!) any wild flowers you find (preferably dying or damaged) take them home and press them in a heavy book

Go on Forest Fairy walks. Explore your local forests, parks, meadows in the most vibrant green and pink dresses, wear flower crowns and just be one with nature, listen to fairytale music and take in the wildlife and nature around you 🧚‍♀️

Decorate your bedroom/space for Spring. This can be as simple as changing the bedding or by going all out and re-decorating your room completely. Fresh flowers, fake plants, cottage-core illustrations of animals look lovely too 🌷

Celebrate Easter like a Spring princess (really get into it this year) enjoy a beautiful Spring breakfast, paint eggs, eat chocolate, do some Easter bakes in the kitchen, make Easter Sunday a special day for you 🐣

Journal/Sketch/Paint - Painting outside is one of my favourite things to do, and you could even set up your easel/painting supplies in a garden or local field and paint the scenery 💐 Journalling all about your pretty Spring days can be uplifting and I find that sketching illustrations of Flowers, woodland animals and just Nature in general makes me feel so at ease any time I do so 🦢

Visit historical places like castles, botanical gardens and garden centres. These places are always abloom in Spring. Most of these places offer café’s and afternoon tea’s too! 🌸

Visit a cute Café for afternoon tea 🫖 (Make sure to wear a pretty outfit!)

Go frolicking in meadows. Roll down hills and twirl in flower fields 🌼

Feed birds and take time out to Spend time with nature and wildlife 🐰

I hope this helped and gave you some ideas, made you feel happy or comforted whilst reading and most importantly, inspired you to live life to the fullest and most beautiful it can be this Springtime 💐📖🎀 All my love ~ Kellen

Princess Tutu 20th Anniversary Herbstfest Radio Event Treats 🍰

These are paper menus from the Herbstfest in Japan in which the VAs and directors hosted an autumnal radio show set in Gold Crown Town to celebrate the anniversary.

Treats are the most important part of any event, obviously, so let’s take a look!

One of treats offered, pictured left, was a chocolate mouse cake with vanilla ice cream, topped with gear-shaped baumkuchen cookies and fruit. The cookies are a special detail, not only for their shape, but because this specific food is enjoyed by both the German and Japanese. It was meant to be reminiscent of Drosselmeyer, who gleefully let audiences know that the dessert was in “limited quantities” e3e

Pictured right is a lemon and white chocolate cake with fruit. Suspiciously similar-looking to Duck’s bird form, the treat’s ahoge was made from white chocolate and was fully edible. The toppings were meant to represent her pendant, although, I can’t help but see a very high placed beak with no eyes and a beaded crown. It makes me laugh.

Two signature drinks were crafted and offered at the event as well!🍹

Pictured left is a drink, available in both alcoholic and non-alcoholic forms, that included five different colors of jellies. I’m not sure why five were chosen, as I can’t think of significant groups of five characters that they would represent. Maybe the five unnamed heart shards? Maybe five is just a solid number to use? If anyone knows, speak up! :0

And on the right is a cocktail themed after Mr. Cat! Available only in alcoholic form, something interesting about this drink is that it comes with a plastic straw with a paper cutout of Mr. Cat on it. You were meant to use it as a “muddler” and mix the drink yourself. I imagine multiple Mr. Cats did a lot of dancing in circles that night. Terrifying.

Lastly, audience members were given autumn-themed coasters from the event. The printed mail details might have been a nod to how viewers/listeners had the opportunity to mail in their questions to be answered by the cast and crew who attended the event. Very cute and I have 0 intentions to use it as a coaster :D

explaining my original tags

jay’s asides/soliloquies -> an aside is when a character in a play speaks directly to the audience. a soliloquy is when a character is alone on stage and monologues about their inner feelings

making dinner set to screw -> part of a lyric from falsettos that just spoke to me at the time

🦇⚔️/🔦 -> bruce wayne kin tag. bat speaks for itself. swords are for knight. flashlight to represent investigation or being a detective.

🍰📚 -> pannacotta fugo kin tag. cake for strawberry motif and for libeccio’s. books for intelligence.

🌲🎸 -> stan marsh kin tag. tree for the city itself and guitar for crimson dawn.

🏡🔍 -> play that goes wrong tag. house for the manor and magnifying glass for investigation.

the most gracious of hosts -> a line from the suffering by coheed and cambria. the full lyric is “listen well, will you marry me? and are you well in the suffering? you’ve been the most gracious of hosts”

Kin aasign Will or I explode immediately /j

William James Rowe is... Lorethan "Reth" McKinely! 🍰🌿

Both of them are so, so kind and sweet to others. Will has an engineering degree and has a background as working to be a medic in rescuing people, while Reth himself does quite a bit of his own engineering and learns how to create his own machines and tools to survive outside of the society he lives in. He also ends up having to figure out a way to save a child's life who was badly injured, and ends up eventually adopting her as his own little sister. They both have deep connections to the earth and the environment, and do a lot of work to try to save it from other people's destruction.

They are both a bit unstable emotionally in their own ways, though Will's nervousness and self doubt stim directly from the Eating Louis issue (as well as his betrayal from his past partners, but that's not relevant here). Reth isn't really nervous about a Single Thing and instead has general worries about...almost everything, being easily emotional and wanting to make sure people are safe, but second guessing everything until he becomes overwhelmed.

One thing is for sure that Reth has a leg up on, though, and that's that his society (Katterax) actually...does the whole eating people semi-regularly. It's not done ALL the time, but the fact that drakath bodies are made of shifting substance that is incredibly durable means that they can easily change to be able to be eaten by another and be completely safe through the whole process! It's actually something done by some especially disabled Drakaths whose bodies cannot easily live outside of specific environments because they can't form the organs that other Drakaths do. While this whole eating process can be done in many ways and for many reasons, it's most commonly done as a way to be close and intimate with another, without it really being sexual (think a form of deeper kissing, cuddling, etc.), so...Reth would not be nearly as phased or worried about Will's issues and honestly would be a bit confused about what the big deal was.

William James Rowe belongs to @peachnewt and her series, Getting in Deep! The lanky noodle of a guy belongs to me and my story, Their Scattered Hosts.

Transcript below the cut! 👇

Host: Good morning. The show 'Sveže Praženo' ('Freshly Roasted') is back on the air. Just like every Thursday, we’re serving fresh music, but only the kind of music that’s seriously captivating. And if I can be a bit kitschy right now the most global Slovenian band, Joker Out. Joining me in the studio are Bojan and Jan. Even though an early hour is a Slovenian musicians' nemesis, you two look pretty good for just a bit past eight.

Bojan: Good morning. Thank you very much for the lovely compliment.

Jan: Good morning.

Bojan: You don’t look shabby yourself. Yeah, great introduction, thank you so much. It seems to me, though, there... that this title should really go to Laibach.

[inaudible] bands? Why Laibach?

Bojan: Well, the most global, right?

Aha, okay, okay. If we’re talking about the present, though...

Bojan: But you said you’d be overly sweet, so yeah, I accept it.

Yeah.

Bojan: It's us.

I drink coffee without sugar, so now I have to sweeten this interview. The first one was 'Everybody's Waiting', everyone is waiting to shine, but once we shine, we get overwhelmed with unease, anxiety, we yearn for peace, searching for a lighthouse, to guide us back to normalcy. Now I want to know where you are, where Joker Out is, where you both are, if we separate the private from the band? You've been shining, you went abroad, made it abroad as well. And then, as you say in this song, when you get into the limelight, the pressure gets to you, and you start longing for the peace you had before. Can you find it? Maybe start with Bojan.

Bojan: I’d say yes... yes, you can... you can find peace. But you have to reconcile with a few things first, let's say, reflect on the things happening around you. At first glance, everything seems really, I'd say, enormous, like a wave that will sweep you away. But then you realize you’ve got a surfboard, and you are able to ride that wave. To refer to...

Portugal.

Bojan: Right, yeah, referring to... to our conversation before recording started.

Well, by the way, he was on vacation, in Portugal, and surfing. Everyone assumed he was...

Bojan: I was just watching, I was watching, watching the surfers.

Just watching?

Bojan: Yeah, I didn’t surf.

Oh, okay. But they thought you were a pro, and then you said you’re a pro somewhere else, but not in surfing, right?

Bojan: Yeah.

Well, let’s get back to the first...

Bojan: Let’s move forward. Anyway... yeah, a lot of new feelings awaken in you when things start happening on such an unexpectedly large scale. A lot of fears you weren’t aware of emerge, a lot of doubts you didn’t know you had also... also surface. And in a short span of time,under great pressure, you have to deal with it all, and you... you manage. And... I don't know? It seems to me that this album is a reflection of a very turbulent period for us, practically a year and a half since we made 'Carpe Diem' and went to Eurovision. It will also be evident in the music that a lot of different things were going on in our heads during this time.

That’s just it. At the beginning of the year, you went to the UK, went for a Queen-style retreat, well, if we're... I try to refer to Queen, who also needed a break to create in peace, right. But you landed there and suddenly found yourself in a foreign environment where you discovered your primal nature. You can hear it in the music, at least in what you’ve released so far, the Balkan nature. Even Stefanovski would be proud of certain riffs.

Jan: Stefanovski, yes.

Maybe... maybe...

Jan: Now you’re... you're really sweet-talking us.

That’s a compliment, isn’t it, for...

Jan: Yes, absolutely.

... for a guitarist?

Jan: It's absolutely a compliment, that’s why I’m saying... Vlatko Stefanovski... one of my favorites.

He is, right?

Jan: At least... at least from this...

I agree. Ehm, so how was it? You got there, what did you do?

Jan: We arrived at a pretty nice... actually, actually at a very nicely organised part of North London. We rented a house where we...

Bojan: A tiny house.

Jan: Yeah, a former stable.

Bojan: A former stable.

Jan: We rented a former stable, which...

That’s even more Queen-like, isn’t it?

Bojan: Yes.

Because they made 'Bohemian Rhapsody' in a stable, right?

Jan: Yes, exactly.

A prettier stable.

Jan: So...

Bojan: And a bigger stable.

Jan: And a bigger stable, right. But yeah, in that stable we lived—both literally and metaphorically, we also... we also rented a rehearsal space under a bridge, it was a damp room where everything was half covered in mold, so...

Bojan: And, by the way, the owner of that space was, by a stroke of luck, an immigrant from Serbia to the UK.

Jan: Yeah, right.

I believe wherever we Slovenes go, in the first pub or house, we meet either a Serb, a Bosnian, or, I don't know, maybe a Kosovar.

Bojan: Or a Croat or just one... one of our own.

A brother.

Bojan: Yeah, a brother.

Jan: Just recently... I was in Paris...

And again.

Jan: As soon, as soon as I landed in Paris, I went for a drink at the first pub I saw, the waiter was Bosnian.

Bojan: Of course.

Jan: Right.

Bojan: You remember Malmö.

Same?

Jan: From Postojna.

Bojan: The hotel waiter was from Postojna.

There you go, at least... at least you get to meet a Slovene everywhere.

Bojan: Yes.

So, we Slovenes are almost a global nation. Anyway, you got there, had the stable, had the place, had...

Jan: We didn’t have any song ideas yet. We tried to come up with them somehow, because, if you... if you want to record ten songs or at least eight, which I think we did, you need to have some ideas before entering the studio. So we tried to use the two months we spent in London to focus on that.

That’s it. I mean, when a musician looks for inspiration, and doesn’t even have one riff ready, what do you do? I mean, if your mind is blank, you go...

Bojan: You go to London.

And party, right.

Bojan: Yeah.

What do you mean, yeah?

Bojan: We didn’t even party that much.

I mean, do you climb a hill or something, do you try falling in love a little bit, and look for inspiration that way? Where did you find inspiration for the first song you created up there? Come on.

Bojan: Yes, the first song was 'Šta bih ja'. I only had 'Šta bih ja u ovoj crnoj noći bez tebe radio' ready, and then everything came together really well with the fact that we were in a foreign city, so I believe that soon after the riff came  'U ovom gradu nemam kuće ni adrese' and 'U ovom gradu nemam nikog koga znam', and then... Damjan Jović told me that once you have the main verse of the song, which already clearly outlines the story, you have the song. He told me once when I said, "Oh, I don’t have the song, I have the story though," and he said, "Then don’t worry, you already have the song." And actually, he’s right. Once you... you have... when you know what you’re going to talk about, you have the song. You just have to put it into words, but you already have the song.

That’s true. I think it was Noel Gallagher who said: "Write the fucking chorus," right.

Bojan: Yes.

And... that’s the essence of the song, right?

Bojan: Yes.

Yeah, then everything else builds around that, the music probably came...

Bojan: Absolutely.

... from all of you, right? Now, if we go back to the beginning, 'Gola' was a real hit, right? I was honestly really into music back then, but I was into different music, drum and bass, but I remember this girl who was always into house music, and every night she’d dance to her playlist and then came this banger 'Gola', right, and she said, "This is really good." The song 'Gola' really propelled you forward, right.

Bojan: Yes, 'Gola'...

Was that the first song you made with Žare, or have you made one prior to it? The first one, right?

Bojan: Yes, actually, it was interesting. I went with Žare to the premiere of a Tabu band film at Kino Bežigrad in 2019, I'd say, that is...  in early... in the pre-summer months, I'd say,

That was the early phase of COVID, right?

Bojan: No, no way? That was 2020.

Oh, right.

Bojan: April 2020, March. But I went with... anyway, we and Žare started working on 'Gola' then and we went together to the movie premiere and no one really knew me there, from the people in the music industry. Some people even asked if I was Žare’s son, and then 'Gola' came out, a few months later, in September if I’m not mistaken, and it really took off very quickly...

I think it caught on.

Bojan: Yes, it was a very noticeable leap, suddenly, almost everyone knew, I'd say, at least in this world, what was the most shocking thing for Žare. He said... actually, Žare said that he had never seen such an effect so quickly before.

Yeah. I feel like Žare knows how to remove the ballast, right, and leave just the parts that are essential. But now I need to ask you something I've been told by a lot of people "Žare Pak can be harsh," right. Now Deklevc, Peter Dekleva, told me what he was like with Polonca. But Polonca was a bit of a diva, so he had to ground her a bit. I've heard a story though, that you showed up to sing, right, and he told you, "Come on, Bojč, go home and study a bit more."

Bojan: Yes.

Is this true?

Bojan: He didn’t say, "Go home and study a bit more." but I came to the studio to sing 'Gola', and he stopped me after, that is, I hadn’t even finished singing 'Zimsko jutro hladno gre skoz mene'. I mean, I sang it, and he already stopped me, gave me maybe two tries, then he asked, "How do you say 'zimsko'?" I said, "Zimsko." "No, 'zimsko'." "Yes, 'zimsko'." "No, 'zimsko', 'zimsko'. The word 'zimsko', you know i' [pronounces with a long 'i'], not i' [pronounces with a short 'i']. Articulation." Anyway, I was recording that vocal part for probably about a month, maybe even a bit more. In between, when I... Sometimes I stepped in front of the microphone, after two seconds he’d send me home. Until the day I came home and started listening...

To yourself.

Bojan: ... to myself. and he also told me to stop singing, but to tell the story that I was singing. And after that whole grueling process, I cried at home once under the shower, literally, and listened to what was going on, and started discovering how the shower vibrates differently if I...

Sing differently.

Bojan: ... sing differently, so I came back the next day to the studio and sang the whole song. He let me do the whole take. And I was like, "Okay, this is it, right, I... I recorded it, right." Then I came out and asked, "So, how was it?" And he said, "It was a mess... But now at least you know what you’re singing."

Yeah, yeah. How much does Žare...  how much leeway does he have? I know that when a producer begins working with a band... I know that back then you were young, a blank canvas, he really shaped you and you created something extraordinary together, like the song 'Gola' and all the other songs that followed. But now you know a thing or two, right, about the music industry about how songs are made. Do you still, when he tries to refine the songs, do you let him or do you go: "Whoa, whoa, whoa"? Or basically... do you just cooperate together in a...

Jan: I think he...

… symbiotic way?

Jan: ... still has a very apparent influence... still on us. For instance, with 'Šta bih ja,' we came to Hamburg to the studio on the first day. We had been playing the song during the whole of the March tour, which was, I believe 21 concerts.

Across Europe, right?

Jan: Across the whole of Europe, yes. We came to the studio thinking, "We’ve got this song," right, we’d been playing it for a month now. We got to the studio, started playing, Žare was about to have a nervous breakdown or something... I don’t know exactly what his initial reaction was, but... but it was...

What... was it too much guitar?

Jan: No, it wasn’t too much guitar.

Bojan: Not enough song.

Jan: Not enough song. So, we do know something, but we do... he's still an important... important part.

The producer, right. Now, before we get to the music, if I can summarise: you finished the European tour, you sold out the vinyl from the sold-out Stožice arena, which was also a leap forward. You played at Križanke, sold out, moved to Stožice, sold out, and as far as I’ve heard, also the concerts on the European tour – most were sold out, right? Is that right? Those were... what, concerts the size of...?

Bojan: Mostly concerts the size of Cvetličarna or Štuk.

The best.

Bojan: Yes.

So, around 1000 people, right?

Bojan: Exactly.

Yeah, yeah. Then you signed a contract with an agency.

Bojan: Yeah.

What does that mean?

Bojan: Well, yes, I mean we signed a contract with an agency, but in reality, we signed a deal with booking agent Ryan Penty, who is a British booking agent, working for this big global booking company Wasserman, which handles from Coldplay onwards...

Jan: NBA players.

Bojan: NBA players are on their roster, yes, totally, because they deal with bookings and being agents not just in the music industry but across different industries.

Oh, okay.

Bojan: But, to sum up, Ryan is the booker for Lewis Capaldi, whom we also met in England, as he came to our gig in London. And at that time Ryan said it was amazing, because he came to the gig and expressed interest in working together, so we had an online meeting. We confirmed the collaboration and since then, we’ve been very, very satisfied with his work, as he operates at a top professional level. He's completely eliminated any doubts one might have, such as: "This is someone in England working with big names, will he take time for us? Will it mean anything to him?" Actually he’s constantly in touch with us, makes time for meetings, he's proactive, so we're really very, very happy with Ryan.

Exactly. In Finland, you received a gold record for the single 'Carpe Diem', and last year, it was the most-played domestic song back at home. Then there was Sziget, Exit...

Bojan: Ruisrock.

Ruisrock.

Bojan: Ruisrock.

Yes, I mean, when you perform at Sziget and Exit and that other festival, which sounds pretty big, the only thing left is Glastonbury, right?

Bojan: Yeah, English festivals are really hard to get into. Namely, British organisers truly prefer local acts, which is such a nice mindset, I'd say, and it’s something to appreciate, right, because they have a lot of talent and musicians there, so of course, the big names come from all over the world, but for that minor league and middle league...

They prioritise locals for that?

Bojan: They prefer local acts, so it’s a bit harder to break in, but we absolutely hope that we’ll somehow...

Yeah, but my friend was at Sziget and said... what was it, it was just after the storm, right, was it right after the storm?

Bojan: Probably the day before, if at all.

Oh, that’s how it was. And it was comfortably hot, but when you’re on the big stage and the audience doesn’t know you, of course the Slovenian audience knows you, the main thing is to draw people to the concert, right, and you managed to do that, which means that... that the music works, even abroad, despite having to break the language barrier.

Bojan: Yeah, festivals are a bit weird, because the reactions are so diverse. For instance, when we arrived at Exit, we had practically 20,000 people singing along, right. At Ruisrock in Finland, we had a packed stage half an hour before midnight when we started playing... which is basically in broad daylight, because in the summer, the sun never sets down there, but the energy was truly, truly insane. When you hear 7,000 Finns singing during the entire concert, it’s insane.

Finns singing in Slovenian.

Bojan: Absolutely.

Jan: Yes.

Amazing.

Jan: It’s quite a phenomenon.

Can they manage 'č', 'ž', 'š'?

Bojan: Full throttle.

Jan: A bit softer, like 'š', 'š' [pronouncing soft 'š'].

Bojan: When they’re together, you can't hear the difference.

Jan: No, no.

The best.

Bojan: Romania.

Jan: Romanians.

Bojan: Insane. Like, there were a few of those. Poland...

Wow.

Bojan: So I forgot what I was talking about, but it was really great.

We touched on festivals,  we moved on to more local concerts, but now... let’s play a bit of music to take a break. 'Šta bih ja,' as already mentioned, you can feel a nice Balkan musical theme here... Stefanovski for a guitarist...

Jan: Vlatko Stefanovski, yeah.

But actually, I leaned more to 'Suada' by Plavi orkestar. I know Saša was still a teenager at that time, and it really launched him, in a way, as well.

Bojan: Yeah.

To the starry skies of Balkan. It happened to you too, but yes, it's about a long-distance love, you were heading to UK, as we’ve already mentioned. As Bojan describes in the song - well, you all describe it... lonesome strangers, searching for love on the streets of London at night like musical streetwalkers.

Bojan: Yeah, that’s exactly who we are, musical streetwalkers.

Here we go, a music break, and back to the 'Sveže praženo' show.

'Šta bih ja' and Joker Out, in the early hours, on air at Radio Sora, with me in the studio are Bojan and Jan. We’ve already discussed where they’ve been, what they’ve done, where they sold out, now let’s move on to questions we've all been wondering about. Your colleagues and musician friends listen, they talk proudly about the Jokers, this is hearsay, I may be exaggerating a bit, but nevertheless, I’ve heard all of this, now tell us what you can: Australian tour, New York, opening act  for Kings of Leon next year on the European tour.

Jan: What... what would we choose from all of that?

No, what of it is true.

Bojan: What of it is true. Yeah, it’s true that we had two offers for the Australian tour. We should have played in Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne. We turned both offers down, because timewise and planwise they just didn't fit into the bigger picture. We hope, of course, we get to go one day, but the timing really wasn't right this time. Actually, if I’m not mistaken, right now we should have been in Australia, and that would mean we couldn’t be on 'Sveže praženo', and that would be awful.

Here we go, Škofja Loka, that’s how... that’s how cool we are.

Bojan: Absolutely.

Thanks, Bojan.

Bojan: New York - we also had a confirmation for a concert at Mercury Lounge, but unfortunately, we sealed the deal a bit too late, to obtain the work visas for performing in New York in time, because our musician friends, both Slovenian and two British, warned us that they can reject your entry at the border without a work visa, or even give you a ban on entering the USA for a year, which is what one of our colleagues got for five years, if I’m not mistaken.

Jan: Mhm.

A musical colleague?

Bojan: A musical colleague from... actually from Northern Ireland. So yeah, we didn’t manage to pull it off in time, unfortunately, and we couldn’t go to New York. But I believe that one day we’ll go, because based on the statistics we have about our listeners, we can see that we actually have a pretty good number of listeners in the USA. New York, is a bit of an epicenter, I think there are about 12,000 active listeners, which is... pretty solid. I mean, for one show, it should be enough, right.

And New York is also a great gateway to the rest of America, right.

Jan: Kings of Leon still haven’t called us though.

Bojan: Kings of Leon haven’t called us, I don’t know which... who started that rumor.

Isn’t it interesting in a way? I heard it from two different sources, but hey, maybe now we’ve wished on a little star, and they’ll hear it.

Jan: Because Kings of Leon will be listening to...

Bojan: 'Šta bih ja'?

Jan: Yeah.

Bojan: Can you imagine if Kings of Leon are now listening to 'Sveže praženo'?

Jan: Yeah, sure.

Crazy. And they don’t understand a word, but...

Bojan: But they totally love it.

Totally, yeah. With everything...

Bojan: When Kings of Leon heard [inaudible].

I'm curious about this: last time... last time I caught you, actually you and Kris, at Gušti's gig. At the end he was quite blown away because time really flies, and when you're young you don't realise you're living in the spring of your life. Fed Horses actually sang that, but it's a good point. Do you ever say to yourselves, or do you two ever say to yourselves, when you're with the band after a good gig: "Darn, that's it. Let's stop a bit and take in the moment, let's breathe a little, so everything doesn't... pass too quickly."

Bojan: I'd say that this decision, to present the album only in the area of, let's say, the Balkans, and on smaller stages, is sort of that kind of moment. The big question was "what do we do now?" Last year we did Stožice, blah, blah, blah, blah. And we had, I think, the best time at Cvetličarna, when we were presenting our first album - we really really enjoyed it. You're close to the fans, there's just enough of them so it's not a small space, and there's just too little of them to make it feel detached, so...

Do tell, the first one is sold out...

Bojan: Oh, yeah.

... at Cvetličarna, a bit of promo.

Bojan: Yes, Cvetličarna was sold out, the first one.

On the twenty-second.

Bojan: That's right. And we added the 23rd of November and I think there's about a third of the tickets left, so around 500. And now I want to say that out loud again, because so many people keep messaging me, because they've only seen the first one and it sold out, but they haven't...

Gotten to the other...

Bojan: Gotten to the other information, so we've added another concert.

The 23rd of November in Cvetličarna. Whoever wants to join a Balkan tour with you, they can catch you... No, Belgrade is sold out, of course.

Bojan: Yes, Belgrade is sold out. They can catch us in Zagreb, which is on the 3rd of December at Tvornica Kulture.

Good venue.

Bojan: Very good venue.Last year we played there twiceand it's really awesome.So there, too, there'sabout a third of the tickets left.They can catch us... I don't knowabout Novi Sad, I think they...

Jan: Novi Sad is the 26th of November.

Bojan: On the 26th of November they can catch us in Novi Sad.

Jan: And in Maribor, of course.

Bojan: Oh.

Jan: At Štuk.

Bojan: Štuk.

Jan: On the 6th of December.

There, we've listed a few dates now.

Bojan: And in Vienna.

Well, if we go a bit northern.

Jan: Or in Skopje.

Or in Skopje. If you'd prefer going to the South. Tell me this, too: a band has to be critical to all the crap happening in the world, right, but sometimes you get the feeling that today, because of all this information and because of the fact that a certain bit of information, which stands out, quickly spreads across all media, right... a lot of bands are quite careful here, because you can quickly offend someone. You also touched on the topic of Palestine in one of the upcoming singles, right?

Bojan: Yes, the album will have the single 'Sonce', which was this very direct... very direct reflection of how I experienced everything that was going on. A lot of... Really this sort of information bombing on a daily basis in terms of everything, but yes, these wars that've started all over and are sort of passing by like trends, and we all follow them, while at the same time we're booking dinners, searching what to buy ourselves with the biggest discounts possible online, and watc... well really this...

Instant.

Bojan: We're living an interesting double life. One moment, we're looking at the number of...

Casualties, right?

Bojan: how many... how many people died somewhere for totally no reason and people whose literal basic human rights are being violated. On the other hand we still have our comfort and our luxury, right?

Yes, and as a musician you can do something, get the word out about it. Have a sort of power, actually, do you have it?

Bojan: I don't know. Given that musicians have always sung about war, right, if... if Lennon's 'Imagine' didn't do anything, then I doubt Joker Out's 'Sonce' will manage to achieve something, but for those few, who listen it might change...

Or send them to the streets.

Bojan: I hope so. Yes.

Who knows?

Bojan: So yeah, there will be... there are two songs on the album, which are a reflection of these times, I'd say. Even 'Carpe Diem' really already pointed towards it. A lot of people heard just "We'll dance all night long We'll love each other and play," and not the whole lyrics, but thissong was actually the start of it.

Politically tinged.

Bojan: That's right.

Yes. Now, before finally moving onto the album, and finish this conversation and you play 'Bluza' live... What are your personalities like? Do you have little boxes with checkmarks, or do you simply set goals as you go? Or, as dad said, you're the happiest when you set on a road to a goal, when you reach the goal you immediately have to set your next one, so you don't get lazy.

Jan: I'd say that more from... when I freestyle life a bit more, a bit like... Yeah, exactly that, right, when you get to a goal, you know... what's coming next.

You know? Or do you just wish?

Jan: Yes, I think you know, what your next step is, or at least I do. Okay, of course I also have... some general goals in life, but I don't know, I don't plan out everyday tasks.

No, not that. But in general you have... you know what you want in private, in public, in the band, right?

Jan: Yes.

Yes. Bojan?

Bojan: I'd say that this year I've accomplished all the goals I've had in the bigger picture, when it comes to my musical endeavours. We really got much further than I'd dared hope when we... when we were starting this journey, so actually these goals now become more of this sort of, how to say, sort of achieving an inner satisfaction. You see the enjoyment in the future, that you'll be able to achieve more than a sort of goal. I don't know, it's.. that's about how I imagine that.

Jan: Well, maybe that's how it's always been.

Bojan: Oh? I don't know? I'm not sure. I sort of don't have this pressure... I won't be sad, even if I don't achieve anything else. That's how I'll put it.

Good. I hope we all someday reach that. Now... every time I have an interview, it's actually better to get to know the personality of the singer or the guitarist or whoever comes, right, because everyone knows the music. And when a 15-year-old, a 25-year-old, a 45-year-old listen to your song, they create their own picture of the singer and band in general, right, and sometimes ideals are created. But when they listen to the voice, the conversation, the personality, they actually feel the... the person more. How much do you present yourselves on a silver platter after the concert? Because (female) fans are probably there, right? Well, they certainly exist.

Jan: They exist.

They exist. Do you have a certain ritual after... after the concert, first as a band, and then how much do you let the fans in, or are you actually fed up with this sphere and just want peace and quiet?

Bojan: No, generally... generally after a concert it's nice to calm down for a few minutes, change clothes and shower, if we can, or shower and then change. Now, not every concert is the same, in terms of the conditions to meet and greet fans. Sometimes we're in a hurry to our next stop, like if we're on tour and there's a 12, 14-hour journey by bus in front of us, we have to pack up and leave really quickly. But sometimes... time allows us to, so I think we've hung out with the fans quite a lot so far. Sometimes we unfortunately have to make a break, and say we can't do it, because there's clearly too many people, who we wouldn't even be able to control, and often people find it hard to understand, but it's genuinely not a safe situation, with that many people piled together, who can't be... We don't exactly have superpowers, to be able to...

Everyone...

Bojan: Everyone... to handle everyone. But when we're able to, we're always, we're always available. So I'd say, especially after talking to some other musicians, that we've spent a lot of time with fans, especially on the tours in winter, when it's -8 °C outside after the gig, an hour or two have passed after the concert outside, so...

Bojan and Jan are giving me their autographs for my children today, but whoever wants to, can come here and can copy it, there.

Bojan: Absolutely.

For the ending, let's... we've said, again, November 22nd in Cvetličarna is sold out, November 23rd is still available, afterwards you can catch them in Štuk or on their Balkan tour. The album is coming on the 15th of November.

Bojan: Yes.

That's the correct date?

Bojan: That's it.

Jan: It is.

You've mentioned ten songs.

Bojan: That's true.

Ten songs. We know four so far.

Bojan: That's right.

'Everybody's Waiting', 'Sunny Side of London', 'Šta bih ja' and 'Bluza'.

Bojan: No, actually it's 'Carpe Diem', 'Everybody's Waiting'...

Aha, 'Carpe Diem'.

Bojan: ... 'Šta bih ja' and 'Bluza'. 'Sunny Side of London' isn't on the album.

Oh, I see, I see. So there's six entirely new songs coming. Now, you'll be playing 'Bluza' today, if you'll want to hear the next single, is that from the 15th of November onwards, or is there more coming before that?

Jan: Let's keep that a secret.

There, we're being secretive. Now, thank you for visiting this studio.

Bojan: Thank you.

I've got to admit, we were waking up together. Darn, I need quite a few hours to put myself together, I don't know how you two handle these early, early hours?

Bojan: Beautifully.

Beautifully. But do you go to bed early? Do you actually...

Bojan: Early in the morning.

Jan: Yes, early, yes, at about four AM...

Bojan: We go to bed early in the morning.

But the album is already now... the difficult things are done and now you can reap the pleasant part, right?

Bojan: That's true.

Yeah. Bojan, Jan, thank you for your visit. Now you'll play something live, too: 'Bluza' Now everyone, who'll hear 'Bluza' and Joker Out, will say: "Yeah, these guys really love to open and unbutton their blouses" but actually I interpret this song as more of like we sometimes close a button too much, and then you feel short of breath in life.

Bojan: Interesting, because the title 'Bluza' actually doesn't have any connection to a blouse as a shirt.

It doesn't?

Bojan: In the song it's 'ja u ritmu tvoga bluza'...

Oh.

Bojan: And the song's title is 'Bluza', but other than that it doesn't have any blouses in it.

I see.

Bojan: But there is the blues.

There is the blues. Have a nice day, and see you next time in the show 'Sveže praženo'.

Bojan: Woohoo!

Jan: Same to you, thank you.

Live playing of ‘Bluza’

Extra clip at the end with Bojan and Jan:

Jan: Hi.

Bojan: Hi, hi. In the name of the band Joker Out, we wish you a love, peace and health filled 2025. We hope to see you soon.

Jan: Happy new year.

Bojan: Bye bye!
