What does the word Andricon mean in the song Vera Blue?- Josh
"Andricon" is another in a string
of words that I've made up.
It's an adjective that describes
the style and sexuality of Vera Blue. I
think that it's important in
the understanding of the word that know that
Vera's a construct of three
women that I knew in New York; two drug dealers
and a gun runner and Andricon
was a way for me to describe those strange
qualities about them/her that
drew me. Very nocturnal, almost pathologically
so. Plastically android-gynous
yet still very human underneath...somewhere
beneath the welded plates and
wires. Make-up around her LEDs.
Hope that helps. I knew a bunch
of kids who started calling themselves
Andricons and their plans were
known as 'andriconspears' which I thought was
pretty cool. Stay loose.

FUCK ART LET'S KILL
What does it all mean?
Jared says this is the deeper meaning behind the band's
notable saying:
Fuck all the pretention. If you're gonna do something,
do it from the heart.
I thought it was a Ministry and/or Skinny Puppy shirt?
Way back in 1987, Jared was playing in DC with a band
called Furnace. He
used the slogan "Fuck Art, Let's Kill" on around 12
t-shirts that he had
printed up. When Ministry came through DC with the
MindIsATerribleThingToTaste tour, Ogre, being an old
buddy of Jared's
from the early '80s, wanted a t-shirt. He wore it
for large parts of the
rest of the tour, and thus it showed up in the Ministry
concert video.
Chemlab isn't the only party to have used the slogan
as promotional
material. When a poet friend of Jared's released a
book of his latest
work in DC, he had Jared and several buddies stand
around at the release
party wearing the shirt. The poet, whose name was
Art (now you see it
coming, don't you), had a shirt on that said: FUCK
ME I'M ART.
