I’ve been letting people down for an entire decade- people come to our concerts, they meet the band, and then they actually talk to me. You know, you say you’re not cool, that the six of you are very shy and looking to divert attention- but I don’t believe you. Yeah? I haven’t felt cool in a really long time. But I’m still here… so I guess it’s not really that important. And that’s the crux of music: the listeners, the culture even, want to believe that they’re cool. So when you’re making the music, and you start off knowing you’re not cool, and not close to being cool, and not caring that you’re not cool… I don’t know, I guess that’s where the politicians come in. It doesn’t sound like you enjoy being in a band very much at all. I enjoy animals, I’m a big animal person. I think that if I wasn’t in a band I’d probably be a veterinarian.

Yeah? That’s a pretty serious undertaking, I have a cousin who wants to go into veterinary medicine- it’s taking her years. Maybe I could go back to school and take some chemistry classes or… well, I’m not good at that. But probably, if I wasn’t in the band, I’d want to be a veterinarian or a navy seal, one of the two. They are fairly similar career paths, as far as I know. You must have enjoyed working with animals in some of your videos then- there were a lot of poodles in Radio Gaga, if I remember. It’s been a while, but yeah, I really enjoyed making that video. In fact, it was the best part of doing that song- we never really wanted to actually release it, but we were under a lot of pressure from not just one but two record labels. We got to the point where we were so worn down by it that the only thing we could do was release the song and try and put it behind us. But the poodles, I thought, were the best part of the whole thing. Granted, that single is still the reason to own Fire, but fans of that song probably won't feel burned by the rest of the album.You’re pretty big on videos, as a band, aren’t you? Yeah, we’re actually about to do a new video for one of the songs on the last album. of inflating rock clichés to grotesque proportions, adding a dash of tongue-in-cheek pomposity, and then laughing at the results can generate more than just a great single. The power ballad "I'm the Bomb" might be the second-best song on Fire, awash in gurgling synths and shiny guitars as singer Dick Valentine shamelessly delivers lines like "Who elected you judge and jury in the body of a beautiful girl?" The rest of the album has an appealingly throwaway quality, spanning the new wave sendups "Synthesizer" and "Electric Demons in Love" as well as the campy arena rock of "Fashion and Vengeance" and "She's White." Though they're not on par with the band's best moments, they do hold up much better than might be anticipated, and prove that Electric Six's m.o. "Gay Bar" is more on the garage/punk side of their sound, confusing war and violence with sex and dancing, with loads of adolescent sexual innuendo (but is there any other kind?), as is "Getting into the Jam," which is almost certainly not about discovering a classic mod-punk band. "Dance Commander"'s big arena rock choruses, zooming keyboards, and yelped falsettos recall their big hit without merely copying it "Improper Dancing" is surprisingly funky, with its brittle guitars and slick disco feel providing the perfect setting for the band's macho flippancy. It's true that "Danger! High Voltage" is easily the best song on Fire, an addictive mix of stylishness and silliness that sounds like some kind of bizarre love triangle between the Rapture, Tenacious D, and Andrew W.K., but several songs work nearly as well. Fire doesn't necessarily offer proof that this won't be Electric Six's ultimate fate, but it does suggest that they have more tricks up their sleeve than might be expected. If Electric Six never contributed anything to pop music besides "Danger! High Voltage" - one of the most immediate, crazed singles in years - the band would still have the distinction of being one of the most unique-sounding one-hit wonders in recent memory.
