3D got its title from the 3 members of GLU, who used the names Dirk, Dick and Duke to protect their anonymity. All of the songs on 3D were recorded ENTIRELY using samples recorded and pasted into Windows Sound Recorder (and this is back in 1998 when it was a decently minimal program).. The concept was to create "evil" sounding electronic music, mostly based around dance beats, which ends up sounding more funny than evil as a result of the minimal production value. Some creativity and imagination was involved in order to produce the individual samples.. For example in "Satan: Worship Me," the side of a CD jewel-case is scratched with a fingernail to simulate record-scratching. Beat boxing noises are individually sampled for "Titanic."

There were 2 versions of 3D: #1 was a 9-song demo tape. #2 was a 16-song cassette-only EP. Tracks 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10 appeared on both. "Jews R People 2" and "Accord" also appeared on both, but for this reissue we've instead included the more complete "remixes" which were only on the EP version. "Mister Gerbik" is the original first song on the EP and has been included here also. (The files for the other 6 songs are currently lost for whatever reason, which includes the demos of "Fastazz" and "Accord," two versions of "Anal Sax," "Chuggin' Dick's Sax Remix" which was a remix of Z-Rock Hawaii, and "Universal Parallels" which sampled Portishead.)

Secrets (1998-2000) is a collection of GLU's MP3.com singles and other projects mostly recorded by Dick using programs other than Windows Sound Recorder. In fact, the last 6 songs (all from 2000) were Dick on his own, just prior to when he started using the name Stu Wanker. "Electric Zelda," "Porno: NY" and "Swing Easy" are all group efforts from 1999. "Ash Wednesday" and "Boo Foo" are experimental bits recorded by Duke in 1996 but have been included here as they were eventually adopted as GLU tracks. A drunken voicemail from Dirk appears in "Hangin' With My Homies." A Pink Floyd cover recorded by Dirk and Duke (as G-Spot, using the names G-Zuz and G-Niuz) were sampled for "Mother (Hey Mom Remix)." (One remaining track titled "Cure Song" was also lost for whatever reason, which sampled 3 or 4 songs by The Cure.)

T.Scene update

For those keeping track (which is almost certainly zero people), the Interface comp now completes every recording we have for the bands Jay and Luke formed between 1994 and 1999...

The All American Rap Band can be heard on Trumbull Scene: The Big Hits and were also responsible for the music in this clip...



NTT was next, which stood for either Nipple Touch Tip or Nipple Touch Tit. After that was the first version of The Elite which is remembered by us for the song "Rotten To The Core" (never recorded unfortunately) and the 2nd version of The Elite had a song called "Frozen Hotdogs." Interface came soon after that and was their inevitable punk rock group, which much later lead to the formation of Bernie and Hoveral.

Between Interface and Bernie, Jay and Mike ended up focusing on their electronic music project GLU with John B. A complete collection of GLU's recordings should be the next t.scene release coming within the next few days.

In light of recent events, T.Scene has been inspired to uncover Interface's practice tapes recorded between November 1997 and June 1998, in remembrance of their guitarist Brian M. We sadly have just recently learned of Brian passing away which happened in April of this year. The lineup of Interface was Brian M on guitar, Luke F on bass, Jay W on rhythm guitar and percussion, Mike F on drums. All 4 band members sang lead at some point. Neil B was also intended to be their permanent lead singer but became unavailable after 1 practice. Their original song "Homeless Lovin'" was recorded with Neil on a tape that was lost soon afterwards. Their remaining originals were two instrumentals, both called "Bleachead," and "No Vision," which was also interpreted by 3 of the 4 band members a year later in Bernie. Aside from those, this comp includes 2 Iggy Pop covers, 2 Who covers, and 2 Sex Pistols covers (or Sex Pistols covering The Monkees, whatever you wanna call it)... As this tape was never intended for any official release, the title "Interface: 1998" was chosen to give the collection more of an endearing "time capsule" quality.

"The Legend Of Beaver Dam" Is Now On Youtube!!

They played this before I saw Hobo With A Shotgun a few months ago and it's probably one of the best shorts ever made.. It looks like it was taken from TV and the swears have been removed, and I remember there being some story prior to where this video starts (and like opening credits, etc), but the basic jist is there...
