Interview: Light The Fuse And Run
LIGHT THE FUSE AND RUN – interview by pr!
When the album by Light the Fuse and Run came in, I was immediatly drawn to it due to its album name, All Your Base Are Belong to Us, something taken from an old video game called Zero Wing. See, ZW was translated poorly, hence the broken English. This started an internet craze (something we covered almost two years ago) so yeah, I pulled the CD out because of that. Much to my suprise, this album is quite good. LTFAR is a great example of how the Richmond, VA scene is already bored of the indie(core) sound and just making thick rock. I grabbed Chris before a practice session…
Brace yourself, millennials, we are getting old. The evidence is right here on the 20th, yes, TWENTIETH anniversary of the “All Your Base Are Belong To Us” video. Yes, the one we all waited minutes to load on our desktop computers with dial-up and 56k modems and laughed at in the early days of the wired world.
It was an internet meme before we even knew the word “meme” (or thought it was pronounced mee-mee”). Today internet fads and memes come and go within hours, but it’s worth remembering just how big “All Your Base” was.
But first … let us remember.
