is Sincerely Yours Guerrilla Warmer Climes VICE: Hello Vlad. How are you? VLAD STOIAN Tensnake’s ‘Keep Believin’ Why don’t you leave your room? I’m sorry to hear about your uncle. Wikipedia says Videle is “of some importance as a railway junction”. Any particular reason for that connect with Uganda? Does Warmer Climes offer you an escape from all the shittiness? You seem quite frustrated when you write on your blog sometimes. little fights with jj Sir Fredrick Lindson of the legendary The Embassy Is there no one else in Videle who’s into The Radio Dept? Chestionabil What is it about Sincerely Yours that drives you so crazy? Henning Furst and Eric Berglund Absolutely. Why? No, you didn’t mention that. So all the chillwave stuff – the beaches, the perfect lives, the Polaroids and the swimming and the girls and the parties – it must all seem like one big taunt to you? People use Facebook to filter their lives though. Chillwave is an extension of that – the people you’re looking at – The Drums, the Swedes – their lives might not be as constantly amazing or beautiful as you think. Do you know many other gay men in Videle? Or Bucharest? OK. By who? Vlad is currently putting together a compilation of cover versions and reinterpretations of Loredana’s “Rain Rain” (Loredana Groza is apparently considered “the most successful, extravagant and charismatic female pop star in Romania”). If everyone agrees to help Vlad out, “Rain Rain Remixed”will feature efforts from, among others, The Tough Alliance’s Henning Furst, Sail A Whale, Teengirl Fantasy, Myles Cooper, Suburban Kids With Biblical Names and Nicolas Makelberge. He wants it to come out in October. KEV KHARAS
