Pass The Buck? WOW!!! this is old.....

(i found this googling OLD stuff....)

So here's an interview with us from the Summer '97 Ego records catalog. Jolie did thsi interview with us almost a year ago, so duh it's old and a lot of the info is outdated.


PASS THE BUCK!

an interview with Nicole and Louisa Nicole and Louisa are two really cool chicks that run the kick-ass cassette label Pass the Buck! They are two sisters from Ithaca, NY. They both do zines and you should write to them for info on that. (Send them a stamp for the latest Pass The Buck catalog while yr at it!) Pass The Buck is pro-girl, pro-kid, and pro-queer and it kix ass.

1. Info about Nicole and Louisa

Louisa is 15 and she just finished 9th grade. Nicole is 19 and just finished her 1st year of college. We both feel way too old and are forever having crisis about it.

2. When did you start pass the Buck and why?

We started pass the buck in late winter Ô96. ItÕs kinda vague when ptb started cuz Ò4 songsÓ, the first Lucky Tiger tape [Louisa is in Lucky Tiger by the way] which came out in Fall Ô95 was officially PTB001, but it was basically a joke. We used to joke that if we ever started a record label we would call it Pass the Buck. Cuz in Sweet Valley Twins there was this rockstar named Johnny Buck and he had albums called The Buck Stops Here and Pass the Buck. And we always thought tat was really funny and it was kinda between us and the original members of Lucky Tiger. So the LT tape was more self-released with some help from nicole but we all jokingly said it was the first Pass The Buck release. It wasnÕt until that winter that we decided that we actually wanted to do a tape label and release other stuff. And the name Pass The Buck just stuck. We wanted to put out music hat we believed in. We try to do positive things, we wanna break down scene hierarchies. Also we wanna encourage people who want to make and records music(& spoken word) even if they donÕt have access to a studio or even a 4-track. You donÕt need technical or Òmusical skillÓ to do something awesome you just need the soul and the flava. We believe in truth, we believe in realness. If someoneÕs doing something important to hem, expressing something real, itÕs valid. We wanted to put out stuff like that and try to contribute to and help build a supportive community. We also try and do stuff like offer tapes on a sliding scale. And keep the suggested regular prices pretty low.We do acknowledge that our stuff still only reaches a small exclusive group, this needs to be analyzed and itÕs a complicated issue. Our feelings and thoughts on this issue would take up a whole interview in and of themselves though. WeÕre gonna stop now, but we could go on and on about this and why we think DIY cassettes are important etc...

3. What are some upcoming PTB projects?

Coming soon on Pass the Buck: TANG volume one and two. TANG=Teenage nerd girls an its gonna be a series of tape compilations featuring the work of elf-identified Teenage nerd girls. We both are/were teenage nerd girls and there was a lack of music we could relate to or was by TANG. Additionally there werenÕt forums for us to express ourselves where we could accept that we were fucking geeks. WeÕre not saying itÕ; all easy for nerd boys, but there are more outlets open to them. Feel free to write for more info. Basically we wanna put the spotlight on the nerd girls for once. (And not like yr guidance counselor asking if yr suicidal because yr hair is funny). Anyway Volume 1 is gonna be a split w/solo unplugged stuff by the two of us. Future volumes will be coming soon and will feature other bands-prolly 4 per volume. Also coming up--an acoustic punk rock explosion comp., a tribute to the beat happening, a very special secret Roommates project, and eventually new Nicole and Lucky Tiger tapes.

4. Are you working on any new Nicole an Lucky Tiger tapes?

Lucky tiger has released two tapes n Pass the Buck and the first one is no longer available from us. the newer one Deceive, Inveigle, Obfuscate came out this winter and you can get it form us for $3. W/ a new line-up (still 2 guitars and drums but now 2 singers) theyÕre recording some new stuff for a bunch of comps on other cassette labels. Nicole;Õs doin the tang thing and recording news stuff for other labels comps too. She has two tapes out on PTB, DonÕt Bother and 6 Hours, both $3, both acoustic, tape-deck recorded and really personal and kinda raw. Lucky Tiger has come out of the depths of middle school hell...itÕs changed a lot. At this point, it has a lot to do with the merging of the addressing of the personal and the political.

5. Anything else you wanna say...

Pass the buck is very much about annihilating hierarchies of validity an coolness. We donÕt wanna perpetuate the punk star version of the corporate ladder. Additionally we want people w/o rockstar (punk star) mentality and/or egos to feel comfortable sending us their stuff and being on comps., despite the fact that they may not have whatÕs generally considered to be ÒgoodÓ recording quality or Òtechnical skillÓ those should not and in our eyes are not the determining factors of validity. we love Ego records!! Support the cassette underground! Support DIY spoken word and bedroom punk! There are tons of awesome labels and self-releasers, check Ôem out and we love you Jolie! Write to Pass The buck! PO Box 3983 Ithaca NY 14852


You can get two of Jolie's great spoken word tapes from us, along with some other cool ego releases. Also you should send her some stamps for an ego catalog, they usually have good interviews, and in addition to ego releases Jolie carries other labels' stuff too.

 not a lot going on...especially not anything journalworthy.
yesterday jamie & i went for another walk. he's working today. tomorrow we are going on a bike ride. i'm still slowly losing weight. & i hope so since i exercise almost everyday! i was doing it every single day but i have sorta slacked off as of late. cos i've just been hanging out with jamie & shit. but atleast we haven't been pigging out or laying around watching tv like we usualy do! we've been going on 5 mile walks & going shopping instead of eating at resturants & sitting on our asses in movie theatres. so that's cool...
  other than that....nothing else is going on!

tee-hee :)

Job Interview Poll

jolie love
i'm supposed to dress "business casual" for my interview at UPS & that's not a problem but i was thinking about how i'm always judged becos of my tattoos. people are nicer to me when they are covered up & they can't see them! i'm also taken more seriously when i wear my glasses...it's kind of annoying. but i don't want someone to not hire me becos their first impression of me is negative just becos i'm covered in INK! it sucks that it's even an issue but it totally is for me & i wanna get a job based on who i am not how i look.
so here's a poll...please let me know your thoughts....
