big brother archive – the epmd interview
(click image above for larger reading format)
How did you think Jordan the Intern did on that interview with The Beta Band? Did you think he was keeping it real by not owning up to the questions and selling me down old man river? Me neither, but I’m biased. Anyway, if you think you could have done a better job and stuck to your guns, check out this interview with Eric Sermon and Parrish Smith of EPMD and see if you could walk the very same talk being slung by Chris Nieratko. This is another early contribution of his to the pages of Big Brother magazine (issue #31; November 1997). By they way, have I mentioned that Chris has a book out? He does. It’s called Skinema and its a collection of his various writings for Vice magazine. Find out more here:

big brother archive – the ac/dc interview
Soon after the 1997 acquisition of Big Brother skateboard magazine by Larry Flynt Publications, Inc., I was contacted by this freelance writer named Chris Nieratko from New Jersey. He was interested in contributing articles to the mag, primarily band/music interviews, and he seemed to get the tone and spirit of the magazine. This interview with Angus Young of AC/DC was one of his earliest submissions—it ran in Big Brother issue #32—and I remember Jeff Tremaine questioning the validity of it when it arrived in the mail. Nieratko had only sent in the transcripts of the interview, not the original audio tapes, so we never knew exactly how the interviews went down. But a few months later we met Chris at a trade show and we never questioned his ability to be a barefaced asshole ever again.
The Jeff Tremaine directed music video to Sell Your Body To The Night by Turbonegro, the best band in the world.
